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

Pitt previously wore a buzz cut in the early Pitt brought his new buzz cut to the premiere of F1 in Mexico City, Mexico on Monday. The actor layered a lavender peak lapel suit over a white T-shirt, completing his look with tortoiseshell sunglasses and blue suede shoes. Pitt walked the carpet alongside his co-stars Damson Idris and Kerry Condon, as well as the film's director Joseph Kosinski and producer Jeremy Kleiner. Pitt debuted his latest hair transformation last month, when he was photographed in Los Angeles wearing one of his iconic early noughties styles. Pitt sported a close crop back in 2004, which some might remember as his Jennifer Aniston era. Prior to then, the Thelma & Louise star was recognized by his mid-length blonde locks. Pitt wore a buzz cut into 2005, modeling the hairstyle in Mr. and Mrs. Smith. This would be the film that introduced him to his now ex-wife, Angelina Jolie. The actor's new groom includes a short beard, a noticeable difference from his clean-shaven look in F1. Pitt shot the upcoming sports film last year, in which he also debuts a crew cut with blond highlights. Earlier this year, one of Pitt's other famous exes, Gwyneth Paltrow, opened up about dating him. In a wide-ranging interview with Vanity Fair, she compared her '90s romance with Pitt to dating, of all people, Prince William. The Goop founder clarified that she's still friends with Pitt, who she broke up with in 1997. (Paltrow also said that she's friendly with another of her famous '90s beaus—Ben Affleck.) 'He's a very intriguing character,' Paltrow said of Pitt. 'It's like having dated, I don't know, Prince William or something. That's always going to come up.' Read the original article on InStyle

It's been 20 years since Brad Pitt 'left' Jennifer Aniston for Angelina Jolie
Ready to feel old? It's been 20 years since one of the biggest events in tabloid media history: Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt filming Mr. and Mrs. Smith, which happened concurrently with the end of his marriage to Jennifer Aniston. The film started shooting in early 2004, while Brad was still very much married to Jennifer Aniston. At the time, Brad and Jen were considered Hollywood royalty. They'd been married since 2000 and were the golden couple: glamorous, low-drama, and wildly famous. Then came Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Brad was cast opposite Angelina Jolie, who already had a reputation for being edgy, bold, and wildly magnetic. From the minute filming began, rumours flew that something was happening between the two stars. Brad and Jen announced their separation in January 2005 and finalized their divorce in October. Just a few months later, paparazzi captured now-infamous photos of Brad, Angelina, and her son Maddox playing on a beach in Kenya. They never officially confirmed a relationship until the following year, but the timeline pretty much wrote itself – and so did the tabloid headlines. The media circus that followed wasn't just gossip, it was a revealing snapshot of how deeply sexist and one-sided pop culture could be (and honestly, still is). Right out of the gate, the media locked Jennifer Aniston into a role: the abandoned, heartbroken wife. Tabloids started calling her 'Poor Jen' on repeat, painting her as this sad, lonely woman who just couldn't hold onto her man. It was sympathetic, sure, but it also made her seem passive, like her only storyline was being left behind. Meanwhile, Angelina Jolie was cast as the villain. She was the 'homewrecker,' the 'temptress,' the sultry siren who stole Brad away. The term 'homewrecker' itself is soaked in sexist judgment, it's almost always used to shame women, not the men they supposedly 'lure' away. And then there was Brad. Somehow, the guy at the center of all this? Barely got touched. He was either the poor, bored husband stuck in a lifeless marriage or the helpless man who just couldn't resist Angelina's 'exotic' allure. If anything, the whole thing only helped his career, One Reddit user summed it up perfectly: 'When two women fight over one guy, that one guy is always gonna be a winner.' Then came the baby drama. The media latched onto this idea that Jen didn't want kids, forcing a heartbroken Brad to look elsewhere. It became a tabloid obsession: Did she choose her career over motherhood? Was she too selfish? Too cold? Never mind the fact that Aniston had never publicly said she didn't want children. She was being punished for not fulfilling the role of 'mother,' while Brad, who had clearly moved on and started a family with Angelina, was painted as this big-hearted family man. In a 2022 interview with Allure, Aniston addressed the rumors head-on: 'And God forbid a woman is successful and doesn't have a child… The reason my husband left me, why we broke up and ended our marriage, was because I wouldn't give him a kid. It was absolute lies.' Even back in 2005, she told Vanity Fair how blindsided she was when photos of Brad and Angelina first surfaced just months after her divorce filing. 'The world was shocked, and I was shocked,' she said. 'I'd be a robot if I said I didn't feel moments of anger, of hurt, of embarrassment.' Angelina's image, meanwhile, was all over the place. On one hand, she was praised for her humanitarian work and her growing family. On the other, she was still being branded as the 'other woman' with an 'agenda.' It was the classic Madonna-whore complex playing out in real time: She was either a goddess or a seductress, depending on which headline you were reading. And then there's Brad Pitt. The man at the center of the entire saga got off with barely a scratch. He eventually made a comment in Parade magazine in 2011 that seemed to throw shade at his marriage to Jen: 'I wasn't living an interesting life myself… I think that my marriage had something to do with it.' No apology. No real accountability. His alleged affair with Angelina was often framed as a result of Jen's 'failure' to keep him happy, not as a decision he made as a grown adult responsible for his own actions. That's a double standard we see over and over again: when a man cheats, it's her fault; when a woman cheats, it's also her fault. Looking back, the way this triangle was covered says a lot more about us than it does about Brad, Jen, or Angelina. It shows how media narratives lean hard into traditional gender roles, where women are either victims or villains, and men are…well, usually just fine. More Trending In the years since, both Jen and Angelina have opened up about the toll this all took. Jen, in particular, has pushed back against the cultural idea that a woman's life isn't full unless she has a husband and kids. As she told Allure: We are complete with or without a mate, with or without a child.' This story isn't just celebrity drama; it's a case study in how we, as a society, talk about women. And two decades later, it's still a reminder of how far we have to go. Got a story?
