Based on the 2005 feature film starring Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, Mr. & Mrs. Smith centers on a married couple of rival spies. The new TV version was co-created by Francesca Sloane, who worked with Glover on Atlanta, and it’s expected to premiere on Amazon in 2022.

Jennifer Salke, head of Amazon Studios, described Waller-Bridge and Glover as two of the most talented creators and performers working right now and said they’re a true dream team that perfectly fits into the world of Mr. & Mrs. Smith.

“It’s truly a dream for us, as it will be for our global audience, to have these two forces of nature collaborating as a powerhouse creative team. Mr. and Mrs. Smith is an iconic property, and we can’t wait to see how Donald, Phoebe, and Francesca make it their own,” said Salke in a statement.

The original movie was based on a script by Simon Kinberg and directed by Doug Liman. It was a huge commercial hit, with $487 million grossed worldwide.

Waller-Bridge, the creator of Fleabag, which earned her a BAFTA and three Emmy Awards, sat down with New York Times Magazine in honor of the release of Fleabag: The Scriptures, a book that includes the complete script of the show as well as additional commentary from Waller-Bridge herself. 

“When I was in my 20s and feeling quite frustrated by my position in the industry by just wanting a job. That was pretty much it,” she said. “But also in life as well, just feeling my place in the world as a woman and as a woman who wanted to write and act and how I felt about myself physically and what my power was, all that kind of stuff was going on at the same time, I did feel this real rage underneath it all. But I didn’t ever want to express pure rage to people so I think it came out as jokes. Fleabag was the expression of the kind of ‘ahhhh’ that came out.”

And what’s in the future for Waller-Bridge? She has an idea for her next project, but all she really cares about is how audiences will receive her work. 

“That’s all I care about. I really really care. I really want it to have impact every single time,” she said. “It drives me insane because [of] the constant voice of it’s not funny enough or what’s the point? All that kind of stuff. I feel like each time I’m writing something it has to be the best thing I’ve ever written, which isn’t fun to be around.”
