Donald Glover's Mr. & Mrs. Smith TV series has recruited more agents.

EW can exclusively reveal that Alexander Skarsgård, Sarah Paulson, Ron Perlman, Eiza Gonzalez, Sharon Horgan, Ursula Corbero, and Billy Campbell are joining Prime Video's reimagining of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's 2005 spy movie.

They join the previously announced roster of guest stars including Paul Dano, Michaela Coel, John Turturro, Parker Posey, and Wagner Moura. All details about the guest stars' roles are being kept top secret for now.

Co-created by Glover and Francesca Sloane (Atlanta, Fargo), Mr. & Mrs. Smith stars Glover and Maya Erskine (Pen15) as the titular spy couple. But this isn't a remake of Pitt and Jolie's Mr. & Mrs. Smith — while the movie centered on a married couple realizing they’re both spies working for rival agencies who have been hired to kill each other, this is a completely different story about two lonely strangers who sign up for a mysterious spy agency, unaware their new identities are a package deal as a married couple. As they complete high-risk missions together, their arranged marriage slowly develops into something more real. But can they ever really trust each other if their entire relationship is built on lies?

"It's definitely going to be different for a lot of people, which I think is good," Glover previously told EW. "You can always go back and watch the old one, but this one gives you a different feeling. People are definitely going to be shocked. I just know how much people love the other one, so if everybody's like, 'Eh,' we didn't do a good job. I hope some people are like, 'This is better than the original,' and some people are like, 'This is far worse.'"

"Angelina and Brad are untouchable in that you can't recreate that, and Donald and I are just so different so it felt exciting to play a couple that you might recognize as your friends or yourselves," Erskine previously told EW. "You could see yourself in these characters, but they're spies. They’ve created an analogy for relationships against the backdrop of this espionage thriller, so it has all the intricacies and nuance and flaws of a real relationship story, but with life or death stakes. What people will be surprised about is that this show is really about marriage."

All eight episodes of Mr. & Mrs. Smith debut Feb. 2, 2024, on Prime Video.
