Amazon has unveiled the first full-length trailer for its upcoming Mr. and Mrs. Smith series. From co-creators and executive producers Donald Glover and Francesca Sloane, the Prime Video action-comedy is a reimagining of the 2005 film of the same name starring Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.

In this new version, two lonely strangers who have given up their lives and identities 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. The catch? New identities in an arranged marriage as Mr. and Mrs. John and Jane Smith.

Now hitched, John and Jane navigate a high-risk mission every week while also facing a new relationship milestone. Their complex cover story becomes even more complicated when they catch real feelings for each other.
