00:00The first teaser for Prime Video's Mr. and Mrs. Smith series is here.
00:10The preview showcases the beginnings of a relationship
00:12between its two lead characters, played by Donald Glover and Maya Erskine.
00:16The show is loosely based on the 2005 film of the same name,
00:31where a married couple discover they are rival assassins.
00:34However, the show is sort of an inverse of the movie,
00:37as Glover and Erskine play two people who are recruited for a spy agency
00:40and told to pose as a couple.
00:41We're married.
00:46I should be clear, I'm not in this for the romance.
00:50As the show's official description puts it,
00:52two lonely strangers land jobs working for a mysterious spy agency
00:55that offers them a glamorous life of espionage, wealth, world travel,
00:59and a dream brownstone in Manhattan.
01:01The catch?
01:02New identities and an arranged marriage as Mr. and Mrs. John and Jane Smith.
01:06Now hitched, John and Jane navigate a high-risk mission every week
01:09while also facing a new relationship milestone.
01:11Their complex cover story becomes even more complicated
01:14when they catch real feelings for each other.
01:16What's riskier, espionage or marriage?
01:19The teaser showcases the pair's developing relationship
01:21and gives viewers a glimpse of some of the show's stacked guest cast,
01:25which features Alexander Skarsgård, Paul Dano, Ron Perlman,
01:29and Sarah Paulson, just to name a few.
01:31What is it that you two do?
01:33We're a computer, a software engineer.
01:36We're an engineer.
01:39All eight episodes of the season premiere on February 2nd on Amazon's Prime Video.
