Amazon is developing a new show based upon the movie Mr. and Mrs Smith starring Donald Glover and Phoebe Waller-Bridge.
The series, which is based upon the 2005 action film starring Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, will reportedly be an Amazon Prime exclusive and premiere in 2022.
The news came courtesy of Glover’s normally empty Instagram account (opens in new tab), which announced the new project via an Instagram story. While the story itself has now expired, thankfully someone was able to screenshot and share it before it disappeared forever.
