Mr. & Mrs. Smith on Prime Video adds a new cast member in a peculiar role. The show’s second season will follow a new Mr. and Mrs. Smith, but it appears its story will deal with more than one couple of spies.
What is the Mr. & Mrs. Smith Season 2 casting update?
The Hollywood Reporter has revealed that Levon Hawke has joined the cast of Mr. & Mrs. Smith Season 2. What’s more interesting than the actual casting is that he’s playing Mr. Smith — “or rather, one of the Mr. Smiths, as the show will feature several characters using the pseudonym in the coming season.”
How the show will handle multiple Mr. Smiths remains under wraps. Though the first season already hinted at other secret agents operating under the same titles. The Season 1 finale saw Donald Glover and Maya Erskine’s Mr. & Mrs. Smith come face to face with higher-level Smiths.
Hawke was previously seen in Marty Supreme and Blink Twice. He also played Johnny in Tom Holland’s thriller miniseries The Crowded Room. The show previously added Anora star Mark Eydelshteyn to its cast, along with Talia Ryder, Francesca Scorsese, and Matt Rogers.
The series is loosely based on Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s eponymous 2005 film. In it, the leading couple finds out they are assassins hired by rival companies. The TV series flips the concept, with a mysterious company hiring the “Smiths” as a fake couple to send on international espionage missions.
Mr. & Mrs. Smith is currently in production in Los Angeles. Anna Ouyang Moench is the showrunner on the show’s second season. Moench, Glover, and Erskine are also executive producing the series, along with Yariv Milchan, Michael Schaefer, Stephen Glover, Anthony Katagas, and Fam Udeorji. Donald Glover will also direct some episodes in Season 2.
