Mr. and Mrs. Smith Season 1 ended with a major cliffhanger, leaving the fate of the couple open-ended. Jennifer Salke, head of Amazon MGM Studios, announced that the series will continue, and the cliffhanger will be addressed soon in Season 2. There are certain speculations about whether Donald Glover will return to the lead role because of his busy schedule. Therefore, season 2 might shift focus to another couple of spies.
“We are excited to announce that a second season of our groundbreaking spy series, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, is in the works for our global Prime Video customers,” Jennifer Salke, head of Amazon MGM Studios, said according to Deadline.
The first season follows two strangers who turned spies and have been recruited by a secret agency to work posing as a couple. The series follows their adventure through the mission and the seeding of their real romance.
After the first season streaming completely on Amazon Prime, fans are excited to know if there will be a second one, especially after the explosive finale. The answer is yes. Here are some details.
What happened in the Season 1 finale of Mr. & Mrs. Smith?
The series, based on the old film, is an incredible modern-day approach to the concept. The season 1 finale is mostly Jane and John chasing each other in the NewYork City, which resulted in the shootout in their gorgeous brownstone. Further, they begin to have a vulnerable confession, cut short by the arrival of other Jane and John Smith.
The confrontation ends with the other John dying and this John getting a bullet in the stomach, holding on for his Jane in the panic room while the other Jane tries to kill them. The scene is depicted from outside the building, with flashes of guns and fires visible. Therefore, leaving the fate of the couple ambiguous and difficult to determine who killed whom and who survived.
What could be the future of Mr. & Mrs. Smith Season 2?
The renewal of season 2 to Mr. and Mrs. Smith was announced on May 14. Now the question arises - what might be the potential key factions in the story? Keeping the Season 1 finale in mind, is there a possibility that the couple survived?
According to recent reports, it is rumored that the return of Donald Glover seems difficult because of his upcoming films and busy schedule. So, the original Smith might not return. Billie Eilish was rumored to be in consideration but won't be available due to her tour. The creators haven't confirmed anything yet.
