One of the biggest questions that Mr. and Mrs. Smith fans have is whether Donald Glover and Maya Erskine will return in the second season.
After years of anticipation, the Prime Video TV series adaptation of the iconic movie is finally set to begin filming for its sophomore season, which will feature new leads. However, with the cliffhanger ending of the first season, fans are wondering whether the original stars will return or leave their fate permanently hanging.
Will Donald Glover and Maya Erskine Return in Mr. and Mrs. Smith Season 2?
Deadline recently confirmed that Donald Glover and Maya Erskine will return for the second season of Mr. and Mrs. Smith and reprise their roles.
Not only that, but Erskine will also join the executive producer team of the series. However, it remains unknown how many episodes they are expected to appear in and how much screen time they will have.
While the original stars from the first season will return, the second season will still focus on a younger John and Jane couple. Anora star Mark Eydelshteyn and Never Rarely Sometimes Always star Talia Ryder will be the leads of the upcoming season.
Sophie Thatcher was previously in negotiations to play the female lead in the second season, but had to back out due to scheduling conflicts related to filming the final season of Yellowjackets.
This is exciting news for fans, as we can now expect the return of Glover and Erskine in some capacity, and it's interesting to see how they will address the cliffhanger ending of the first season, where the fate of their characters was in jeopardy and left viewers with an ambiguous ending.
