According to Variety, the series, which is based on the 2005 hit New Regency film, is due in 2022.

Glover and Waller-Bridge will star in and executive produce the series.

Former NBC Entertainment president Jennifer Stalke made the announcement via social media, posting a video to Instagram Stories with details of the project. Amazon Studios head Jennifer Salke also posted the news of the new show to her Twitter account on Friday.

The new take on ‘Mr and Mrs. Smith’ is neither Glover nor Waller-Bridge’s first project with the studio. Waller-Bridge created and starred in the hit series ‘Fleabag,’ which collected six Emmys, including Outstanding Comedy Series in 2019, while Glover’s musical film ‘Guava Island’ is also an Amazon Original.

The hit original ‘Mr and Mrs Smith’ from Doug Liman starred Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie and grossed almost USD 500 million worldwide.

Alfred Hitchcock also directed a screwball marriage comedy titled ‘Mr. & Mrs. Smith’ in 1941, starring Robert Montgomery and Carole Lombard.

Hobbs & Shaw helmer David Leitch will direct and also supervise the script, which will be written by Zak Olkewicz.

The film is based on the Japanese novel Maria Beetle by bestselling author Kotaro Isaka. Ryosuke Saegusa and Yuma Terada of CTB Inc., who represent Isaka and the IP, are executive producers on the project.

Even though Sandra Bullock and Brad Pitt have been in the movie business for decades and rose to prominence in the early 90s, the two have never worked together.

Bullet Train will be the first feature film in which they will be seen sharing space on the screen. The only tie between the two Oscar-winning actors is Ocean’s Eleven female spin-off, Ocean’s Eight starring Sandra Bullock, which was actually a franchise which Brad Pitt helped launch when he starred in the Ocean’s Eleven remake in 2001.
