Meanwhile, Anna Ouyang Moench has replaced Francesca Sloane as showrunner and writer.

The shooting is currently underway in Los Angeles, having received a USD 22.4 million tax credit from the California Film Commission to relocate, as per Variety.

It is worth mentioning that 'Mr & Mrs Smith' Season 2 was initially slated to begin production in fall 2025, but was put on an indefinite delay.

Coming to the first season, it concluded on a cliffhanger, leaving the fates of Erskine and Glovers' characters in limbo. As per reports, the second season is likely to follow more of an anthology format.

Created by Glover and Sloane, 'Mr & Mrs Smith' is inspired by the original 2005 film starring Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. In contrary to the film, the show follows two strangers who are paired up as partners in espionage rather than a married couple.

The show was a big success, earning 16 Emmy nominations and winning two.

It is executive produced by Moench, Glover, Sloane, Yariv Milchan, Michael Schaefer, Stephen Glover, Anthony Katagas, and Fam Udeorji.

Season 1 star Erskine has also come onboard to executive produce the second season.

The show is produced by Amazon MGM Studios and New Regency. (ANI)
