Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Donald Glover will star in Mr. and Mrs. Smith series remake

Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Donald Glover will star in a new Amazon Prime Video series based on the 2005 film Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

Everyone remembers the movie, which starred Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt as a pair of married killers-for-hire who are assigned to assassinate each other, but mainly everyone remembers how it was marred in controversy due to Pitt and Jolie’s much-publicised affair (sorry, but team Aniston forever).

Glover made the announcement via a story on his Childish Gambino Instagram page. In a statement, head of Amazon Studios head Jennifer Salke called the pair a “dream team” for the studio.

“Talk about the dream team! Donald and Phoebe are two of the most talented creators and performers in the world. It’s truly a dream for us, as it will be for our global audience, to have these two forces of nature collaborating as a powerhouse creative team,” she told Variety.

As it happens, this won’t be the first project for the two; both were in the 2018 Disney movie Solo: A Star Wars Story.

The pair will star in and executive produce the series and we are so excited to see the remake being given the Waller-Bridge stamp of approval in particular.

Mr. and Mrs. Smith will air on Amazon Prime in 2022.
