Mr. & Mrs. Smith Season 2
Fans of Mr. & Mrs. Smith have been waiting anxiously for updates on Season 2 — and new reports suggest the show might be facing an indefinite delay. Here’s what we know so far, what’s in flux, and what it could mean for the future of the series.
What We Know: Renewal, Casting, and Uncertainty
Amazon’s Prime Video officially renewed Mr. & Mrs. Smith for a second season back in May 2024. Francesca Sloane returns as showrunner, and Donald Glover remains involved as co-creator and executive producer.
However, whether the original leads — Donald Glover and Maya Erskine — will be back is unclear. Multiple outlets say they are not expected to return.
A new cast is in rumoured talks: Mark Eydelshteyn (from Anora) is confirmed for a starring role, while Sophie Thatcher (best known from Yellowjackets) is reportedly in negotiations.
Why the Delay Rumours?
Several indicators suggest Season 2 is not moving ahead rapidly:
The show’s composer has confirmed that writing is complete, but filming has not yet started.
There is as yet no official release date for Season 2. As of mid‑2025, a launch in early 2026 seems more realistic than late 2025.
With big casting changes, the possibility of reworking story arcs (especially given the ambiguous Season 1 ending) might be contributing to slower progress.
What “Indefinite Delay” Could Mean
If Mr. & Mrs. Smith Season 2 is effectively delayed indefinitely, here’s what that might imply:
Re‑evaluation of direction: With a new cast potentially taking over, the creative team may need more time to redefine what the show is now — especially if it shifts toward an anthology model (new spies each season).
Scheduling/policy challenges: Big productions often get held up by actor availability, international production logistics, budget constraints, or post‑production requirements. Any of these could be a factor.
Audience uncertainty: Long delays risk losing momentum and fan interest. For a show with cliffhangers and changing leads, keeping audience engagement can be especially tricky.
But there’s also concern: that without the original John and Jane Smith, the show may lose what made Season 1 special.
Bottom Line
At present, nothing has been confirmed about an official indefinite postponement of Mr. & Mrs. Smith Season 2 — but several signals point toward delays longer than fans hoped. Between cast shake‑ups, no start of filming, and no solid release window, the chances of a quick return seem slim.
