Inspired by the 2005 film of the same name, the Mr. & Mrs. Smith TV series is currently trending among viewers. The series, which features Donald Glover and Maya Erskine as the lead characters, has been well-received by fans as well as critics.
The production of the series began in 2021 but it was doomed by several delays. However, it was definitely worth the wait. While the series is entertaining as it is, some deleted scenes would’ve made it even better. Showrunner Francesca Sloane revealed that many missions didn’t make it to the final cut but they are satisfied with the way the series turned out. A second season has been confirmed, with Sloane saying that they have big plans for it.
Mr. & Mrs. Smith showrunner Francesca Sloane reveals that many scenes didn’t make it to the final cut
In her recent interview with The Direct, Mr. & Mrs. Smith showrunner Francesca Sloane revealed that there were many “missions” that Mr. & Mrs. Smith went on were removed from the final cut. Sloane said,
“There are so many [missions] that didn’t make the cut… We had one where they were at Six Flags, and they didn’t understand why. That was one. We had one where, like, literally, the whole thing was this entire mission happening, and you just never find out what they went through inside. But we’re like, ‘That might be too pretentious for an hour.’ So yeah, there were many that ended up not making the cut.”
Sloane also acknowledged the smaller scenes that were cut due to “character reasons.” Ultimately, no one is complaining about the final product. The show has been praised by fans all over the world.
What can fans expect from Mr. & Mrs. Smith season 2?
In the interview, Sloane also explained that she is ready to work on the second season of the show if she gets the opportunity. If given the chance, she is positive that the second season will be much better than the first one,
“I think that we always wrote Season 1 as a complete film. We’re very happy with the way that we wrapped it up and with the ending, even with the ending being what it is. With that said, yeah, we have some really cool, big ideas for a Season 2. So, should the opportunity present itself, we will definitely go down that road. And we will make it even cooler than Season 1 if people will give us a chance.
Mr. & Mrs. Smith, which is inspired by the 2005 film of the same name, was released on February 2, 2024, on Amazon Prime Video. The series featured Donald Glover and Maya Erskine as John and Jane Smith, a married couple who are secretly highly skilled assassins.
