Season 1 followed secret agents John and Jane Smith as they went undercover as a married couple for a top-secret mission. But things got complicated when their fake relationship turned into something real, forcing them to navigate both their growing feelings and the challenges of life as spies. As they fell in love, they began to question their allegiance to the mysterious spy organization they worked for, known as Hihi.
Things took an intense turn in the finale when John and Jane were both convinced that the other had been instructed to kill them, leading them on a rampage through the streets of Manhattan. However, they later discover that it is another couple of John and Janes (Wagner Moura and Parker Posey) that had been sent to kill them for trying to leave the organization.
In the final moments, protagonist John is left wounded inside the house’s panic room, while protagonist Jane — who has one bullet remaining — steps outside to confront evil Jane. Moments later, three gunshots ring out—suggesting another weapon was fired — but the screen cuts away without revealing who was hit or what happened next, leaving everyone’s fate in suspense.

During a June 2024 appearance onJimmy Kimmel Live, hostJimmy Kimmelbrought up the fan theory that many people think Glover and Erskine’s characters might have been killed in the season 1 finale. While holding a print out of aVarietyheadline that read they were “not expected to return” for season 2, Kimmel asked, “How would they doMr. & Mrs. Smithwithout Mr. & Mrs. Smith?”
The costars remained tight-lipped, and Erskine responded, “It’ll be more fun if you see the second season … you wanna wait.”
“Who says we’re not in it?” Glover added. “Maybe we are, maybe we aren’t.”
One month later, Amazon MGM Studios head of television Vernon Sanders toldDeadlinethat writers were “hard at work” on the season 2 script.
“[Head of Amazon MGM Studios Jennifer Salke] and I heard a pitch on what Season 2 would be about, and we will love it. Donald’s a busy guy, he is a multi-multi-hyphenated but that show will be back sooner rather than later as well,” he said.
Salke added, “I think audiences will get everything they want" when season 2 returns.
Although a return date has yet to be announced, season 1 ofMr. & Mrs. Smithis available to stream on Prime Video.
