Get ready to meet the Smiths, as Donald Glover and Maya Erskine star in the new Prime Video original series Mr. & Mrs. Smith, among the new 2024 TV shows viewers can look forward to.
If the title sounds familiar, that's because it is the same as the 2005 Brad Pitt and Angelia Jolie movie that saw them play a married couple unaware that each were highly-skilled assassins. This is a new twist on that concept, however, with Glover and Erskine playing two strangers that are married off as a cover for their spy work.
We've got all of the information you need to know about Prime Video's Mr. & Mrs. Smith right here.
