Prime Video’s reboot of Mr. & Mrs. Smith is getting a second season. The reimaging of the 2005 film of the same name stars Donald Glover and Maya Erskine as the titular Mr. Smith & Mrs. Smith, two spies who are married together while also putting on the ruse of being your regular run-of-the-mill suburban couple. The first season of Mr. & Mrs. Smith ended on a cliffhanger, leaving fans to wonder what will happen to John and Jane Smith. Now, their story will continue with Prime Video officially renewing Mr. & Mrs. Smith for Season 2.

Prime Video renews The Boys for Season 5
The Boys was also renewed by Prime Video for Season 5, even before Season 4 is set to premiere on June 13th. The news was made during the streamer’s upfront presentation Tuesday morning.
“The Boys is an unabashed and bold series that continues captivating our customers all over the world by piercing the cultural fabric season after season,” said Vernon Sanders, head of television, Amazon MGM Studios. “We are proud of this series that has grown into a global franchise, and we are thrilled that Eric Kripke and the creative team have more engaging stories to tell for all the loyal fans.”
“The Boys could be the best job I’ll ever have. What other show allows me to write about politics, capitalism, family, and exploding genitalia, though not in that order,” said Eric Kripke, Showrunner for The Boys, “the cast and crew are deeply grateful to Sony Pictures Television and Amazon MGM Studios for the opportunity to tell this story for another season.ย My only problem is that since this year promises to be free of any conflict or misinformation, we’re not sure what to write about.”
“Since its premiere, devoted fans across the globe have been down with The Boys for this unapologetically wild ride,” says Katherine Pope, President, Sony Pictures Television Studios, “and we couldn’t be more proud of our producers, writers, cast, and crew who bring this genius insanity to life. Now, with a fifth chapter to their story, we can’t wait to see where Eric Kripke and The Boys go next.”
