The reimagining of the hit 2000s action-comedy Mr. & Mrs. Smith is coming to Amazon next year, and its cast will be as epic as it gets. Alexander Skarsgard, Sarah Paulson, and Ron Perlman are among the latest cast members to join this promising project.

According to Amazon Prime Video’s official synopsis, Mr. & Mrs. Smith will center on two strangers, John and Jane, who have given up their identities to be thrown together as partners—in espionage and in marriage—after being matched by a mysterious agency.

Donald Glover, who co-created the series alongside Francesca Sloane, will play one of the lead roles alongside Maya Erskine. Michaela Coel, John Turturro, and Paul Dano were cast in guest roles back in June, with Parker Posey and Wagner Moura joining them in September.

The star-studded ensemble of this project just got even more impressive, after several A-list stars agreed to hop on board. Alexander Skarsgard (Big Little Lies), Eiza Gonzalez (Baby Driver), Sarah Paulson (American Crime Story), Sharon Horgan (Bad Sisters), Ron Perlman (Hellboy), Billy Campbell (Cardinal), and Ursula Corbero (Money Heist) will also star.

Mr. & Mrs. Smith will feature a total of eight episodes, set to be released on Amazon Prime Video on February 2, 2024.
