Donald Glover to Reboot ‘Mr. & Mrs. Smith’ As Amazon Series
Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Donald Glover are rebooting feature film Mr. & Mrs. Smith as a television series for Amazon.
The pair revealed via Instagram stories that they were working on the project for 2022.
The show, co-created by Atlanta writer/producer Francesca Sloane, comes from New Regency and Amazon Studios.
Waller-Bridge has an overall deal with the streamer, as does Sloane.
The 2005 feature film starred Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie as a married couple who were rival spies. It was directed by Doug Liman and written by Simon Kinberg. The two re-teamed for a TV series version. It went to pilot at ABC during the 2006-07 season, written/exec produced by Kinberg, directed/exec produced by Liman and starring Michael Henderson and Jordana Brewster in the title roles. The pilot was not picked up to series.

I didn't see anywhere in the article that they are playing the lead roles. They could just be writing or producing it unless they've said differently elsewhere.

Bummer. But those are two very strong creative voices and it would have been weird to have them collaborate on a creative level.
