The highly-anticipated TV adaptation of the 2005 film 'Mr. & Mrs. Smith' has finally arrived on Prime Video, and fans are already buzzing about the possibility of a second season. Show creator and co-runner Francesca Sloane recently shared her thoughts on the potential continuation of the series, hinting at exciting possibilities for the future.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Sloane expressed her belief that there is 'definitely a lot more story to tell here.' While she considers the first season a 'fully satisfied story' that can stand on its own, she also believes there is room for the story to continue. The season finale leaves viewers on an explosive cliffhanger, leaving them craving for more.
Sloane emphasized the show's efforts to subvert the genre while still providing satisfaction to fans of the original movie. She believes that both fans and newcomers to the franchise will be pleased with the way the finale wraps up. Sloane confidently stated that the ending is something that will have people talking.
Of course, whether or not we will see a second season ultimately depends on the show's viewership in the weeks following its release. However, commercial success has not necessarily been the driving factor behind the franchise in the past. The original movie was a massive hit worldwide, earning nearly $500 million against its $110 million budget, yet a sequel never materialized.
Despite the success of the film and the fame of its stars, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, who famously became tabloid sensations during their relationship, a sequel was never officially announced. While there was a tantalizing credits scene in the original movie that hinted at a continuation, it turned out to be more of a concluding gag than a serious tease.
Prime Video, on the other hand, has a proven track record of expanding franchises through interconnected universes, as seen with their plans for franchises like Tomb Raider. This indicates that if 'Mr. & Mrs. Smith' manages to captivate audiences and generate a large following, a second season may be on the horizon sooner rather than later.
As viewers eagerly await news of a potential second season, there is no denying the excitement surrounding 'Mr. & Mrs. Smith' as it takes on a new lease of life on the small screen. With an impressive ensemble cast and an intriguing storyline, the show promises to deliver an electrifying mix of action, romance, and suspense that will leave viewers on the edge of their seats.
So, while we may not have a definitive answer about the future of 'Mr. & Mrs. Smith' just yet, it's clear that the show has struck a chord with viewers and has the potential to become a long-standing favorite. Until then, let's enjoy the thrilling ride that the first season has provided and hope that the story continues to unfold in new and unexpected ways.
