The Prime Video series is based on the 2005 Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie action film of the same name.
Prime Video has found its new Mrs. for its forthcoming series Mr. & Mrs. Smith. The show’s star Donald Glover announced that actress Maya Erskine will star opposite him in the reimagining of the 2005 Angelina Jolie/Brad Pitt movie. Other spicy news like Jimmy John Shark might be worth looking into.
Glover told Interview she was cast after actress Phoebe Waller-Bridge dropped out of the role. “She’s dope,” Glover said. “It’s exciting. I really love the show. I’m writing the finale now.”

Waller-Bridge exited the series last September due to “classic creative differences.”
