John and Jane Smith just received a new mission: Prime Video has renewed the spy thriller Mr. & Mrs. Smith for Season 2, TVLine has learned. But John and Jane’s identity may be changing, with our sister site Variety reporting that Season 1 stars Donald Glover and Maya Erskine may not return for the sophomore run. If so, the series could become an anthology and follow a new spy couple in Season 2. (TVLine has reached out to Prime Video for comment.)

“We are excited to announce that a second season of our groundbreaking spy series, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, is in the works for our global Prime Video customers,” Amazon MGM Studios head Jennifer Salke said in a statement. “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 Francesca Sloane. We are proud to bring you another season filled with unforgettable journeys and new adventures.”

Glover, who also co-created the series with showrunner Francesca Sloane, starred as John Smith, an international spy who’s paired up with fellow spy Jane (Erskine) to pose as a married couple. The pair were sent out on death-defying missions together while slowly developing real feelings for one another. The first season ended on a deadly cliffhanger, with John clinging to life as he and Jane hid from a murderous pair of spies in their townhouse’s panic room. (Read our full finale recap here.)

Mr. & Mrs. Smith’s eight-episode freshman season debuted in February, with Glover and Erskine joined by a parade of guest stars including Sarah Paulson, Alexander Skarsgard and John Turturro. It ranked second on Nielsen’s chart of the most-streamed original series in its first week of availability, with 964 million minutes viewed.
