Can marriage and spying go hand in hand? Watch Mr. and Mrs. Smith try it out in a new series by Prime Video.

The "reimagining" of the 2005 hit movie of the same name stars Donald Glover and Maya Erskine as John and Jane Smith, a.k.a. Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Glover was also co-creator on the series alongside fellow "Atlanta" writer Francesca Sloane.

"In this version, two lonely strangers land jobs working for a mysterious spy agency that offers them a glorious life of espionage, wealth, world travel, and a dream brownstone in Manhattan," says Prime Video about the new series. "The catch? New identities in an arranged marriage as Mr. and Mrs. John and Jane Smith."

The series will follow the couple as they navigate their relationship along with high-risk missions every week. Things are expected to get more complicated when the two catch real feelings for each other.

Here's what to know about "Mr. & Mrs. Smith," including how to watch the new series.
