Mr. & Mrs. Smith showrunner Francesca Sloane has refrained from commenting on reports of new leads joining the series, sidestepping questions about the titular couple's fate. "If we tell you too much, you'll know early if they survived," she said. Sloane also hinted at a possible anthology format, stating it is "a possibility" when asked about seasonal stories.
Sloane dismissed speculation about tension with departing stars Donald Glover and Maya Erskine, calling it a creative conversation to bring the best version of Season 2. "We love each other very much," she asserted in a Crew Call interview. The new casting calls, reportedly for one-year contracts, fuel theories of a refreshed storyline. Since John and Jane Smith are undercover names, new actors could play different characters, maintaining the series' intrigue.
