There is something new to be found in ‘Mr. and Mrs. Smith,’ the TV adaptation of Dough Liman’s spy caper thriller, and Donald Clove is co-starring and co-creating it. The Batman Stars, Paul Dano, John Turturro, and Michael Coel are all joining in as guest stars in the show.

Storyline details of Mr. and Mrs. Smith
When the movie was originally released, it had shown that both of the characters, Mr. and Mrs. Smith were a little surprised to learn about the fact that they were both assassins and that they’ve just been hired by competing agencies to take each other out without actually them knowing and it was not just in a date night sense.
The exact story details of the show which will be out on Amazon Prime Video, are being kept confidential. Although it sounds like the series will show the characters from a younger age and then leading onto their movie counterparts, followed by how they are hired by spy agencies and how they can balance their married life and their work together.
It is said that Maya Erskine, one of the stars, is co-starring Jane Smith, but who will play the rest of the characters is not revealed yet.
