New cast confirmed for season 2 of Prime Video' best thriller series that's the 'perfect mix of grit and wit'

Cosmopolitan08-07-2025
Last year Prime Video released one of the best thriller shows we've seen in a long time - Mr & Mrs Smith. Starring Donald Glover and Maya Erskine, the eight-part series saw the pair's characters start new roles as spies for a mysterious organisation and as part of their roles they must pretend to be a happily married couple. And as is often the case in these dramas the lines often got blurred between colleagues and a real relationship, resulting in a perfect mix of dangerous missions, hilarious scenes and poignant romantic revelations.
And now the show is officially coming back for a second season, but this time it's got a brand new duo playing a new seemingly married couple.
Yes! Following the release of the first season Mr & Mrs Smith co-creator Francesca Sloane teased a potential update on another season of the show.
Speaking to Entertainment Weekly on 2nd February 2024, Sloane said she was keen for the possibility of another season, explaining there's so much more they could do with the story and concept.
"I think that there's definitely a lot more story to tell here,' she explained. 'I think that we definitely feel like this is a fully satisfied story if it were to just live on its own. But it definitely has more legs to keep going, that's for sure."
And then on 14th May 2024, Prime Video confirmed they would be making another season of Mr & Mrs Smith.
Jennifer Salke, head of Amazon MGM Studios, said of the news: "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. The success of the first season, with its incredibly modern, sexy reinvention of the original film, is a testament to the brilliant creators Donald Glover and Francesa Sloane. We are proud to bring you another season filled with unforgettable journeys and new adventures.'
Ok bad news folks, Donald Glover and Maya Erskine are not set to reprise their roles next season, but if you've watched the season finale then that likely won't come as a shock to you.
As we discovered in season one, there are many different spies employed to go undercover as different versions of Mr and Mrs Smith, so it looks like we'll have an exciting opportunity to see a new pair of spies take on these iconic aliases.
And we now know the next pairing to take on the roles will be Sophie Thatcher and Mark Eydelshteyn.
You'll most likely know Sophie from her role in Yellowjackets and the movies Companion and Heretic. Mark is best known for appearing in the Oscar-winning Anora.
As mentioned, the eight-part series (which was released in February 2024), follows a couple who are recruited by a spy agency to work together, and partake in a fake marriage as part of their missions.
It's loosely inspired by the film (but differs in that the original couple didn't realise each other were also spies), with the official synopsis reading, "Meet the Smiths: two lonely strangers, John and Jane, who have given up their lives and identities to be thrown together as partners – both in espionage and in marriage.
It's a Prime Video original, so you'll need to be a Prime member to access Prime Video. Amazon Prime costs £8.99 per month or £95 a year, which works out at £7.92 a month.

Sarah Chalke reveals her wish for upcoming 'Scrubs' revival: 'I don't know how that works into the storyline'

The actress, who played Dr. Elliot Reid on the medical sitcom, shared her dream plot point for the revival while visiting EW's video suite with her "Rick and Morty" costars at San Diego Comic-Con. This potential Scrubs storyline is just what the doctor ordered. No, literally. Sarah Chalke, who starred as Dr. Elliot Reid across all nine seasons of the celebrated medical sitcom, is sharing the toe-tapping plot point that she'd love to see included in the show's forthcoming reboot.'I can't tease any plot details because I don't know any because it's all so new," Chalke explains while visiting Entertainment Weekly's San Diego Comic-Con video suite for Rick and Morty. "Someone just asked me if I have any requests for the plots and I just said, 'Flash mob. I wanna be in the flash mob.' So, I don't know how that works into the storyline, but I think there's a way." After hearing Chalke's dream storyline, her Rick and Morty costars — Chris Parnell, Ian Cardoni, Harry Belden, and Spencer Grammer — immediately jump up from their seats and begin busting a move. "You wanted a flash mob?" Parnell, who plays Jerry, jokes. "Here we go, guys." But, in true Rick and Morty fashion, the well-intentioned gesture quickly goes off the rails. "No, that's not how we practiced it, you guys!" Belden shouts. "It was step left, then turn. Alright. Alright. Cut! Let's go again!" Still, Chalke can't help but be charmed by their efforts. "Not the flash mob I was dreaming of," she teases, before turning back to her costars. "You guys are trying to make my dreams come true? This is why I love all of them so much." Earlier this month, Entertainment Weekly confirmed that Chalke and fellow Scrubs alum Donald Faison, who played Dr. Christopher Turk, would be joining Zach Braff in the upcoming revival. Chalkecelebrated the news on Instagram by posting a throwback photo of her, Braff, and Faison with the caption: "YAY!!!!" In addition to the trio, original series creator Bill Lawrence is also scrubbing in as an executive producer on the revival. "Scrubs means so very much to me," he said in a statement. "So excited for the chance to get the band back together." An official logline for the series reveals that it will follow Braff's J.D. and Faison's Turk as they "scrub in together for the first time in a long time," adding, "medicine has changed, interns have changed, but their bromance has stood the test of time. Characters new and old navigate the waters of Sacred Heart with laughter, heart and some surprises along the way." The original Scrubs, which ran from 2001 until 2010, followed the trials and tribulations of J.D. and his pals as they worked at the fictional Sacred Heart Hospital.

GEN V Season 2 Trailer: Big THE BOYS Cameos, Heinous Secret Projects, and Bad Blood

Class is almost back in session at God U, and we can't wait to see what bloody exploits are next. Marie Moreau and her friends are living in a more dangerous world than ever before, returning to their not-so-beloved university after months of imprisonment. There's a new dean in charge and Supes are training to be soldiers in a war against humanity. This is all thanks to Homelander basically becoming the POTUS. So, what can we expect in Gen V season two? Prime Video and the show's creatives and stars did a big ole superhero landing at SDCC 2025 to reveal more details. One of the biggest reveals was a Gen V season two trailer that's incredibly bloody and introduces a mysterious new project involving God U called Odessa. In the clip, we get a surprise appearance by Annie, whom we last saw flying off as many of her Boys comrades were arrested. She tells Marie Moreau that she must go back to God U. Vought's Project Odessa is back in motion after many years and Marie is the one who has to stop it. There's a lot going on in this Gen V season two trailer, from big naked Emma to Black Noir. And we sadly see a file about Andre, which will lead to answers about that character's demise. As we know, Chance Perdomo sadly died in a motorcycle accident right before filming began for this season. Sean Patrick Thomas, who played Andre's father Polarity last season, will become a series regular now. And, we are also getting Ethan Slater as the infamous Thomas Godolkin in Gen V's second round. Personally, I'm excited about Hamish Linklater as the very terrible new dead at God U. In addition to this clip, we have a synopsis for this season: In Season Two, school is back in session. As the rest of America adjusts to Homelander's iron fist, back at Godolkin University, the mysterious new Dean preaches a curriculum that promises to make students more powerful than ever. Cate and Sam are celebrated heroes, while Marie, Jordan, and Emma reluctantly return to college, burdened by months of trauma and loss. But parties and classes are hard to care about with war brewing between Humans and Supes, both on and off campus. The gang learns of a secret program that goes back to the founding of Godolkin University that may have larger implications than they realize. And, somehow, Marie is a part of it.
