The future of Donald Glover in Mr. & Mrs. Smith season 2 has become increasingly uncertain following a new casting announcement. The Prime Video series, based on the 2005 film, was a critical success, earning 16 Emmy nominations in its debut season. However, the upcoming season will see Mark Eydelshteyn take on the leading male role, further clouding Glover’s involvement.
Rumors of Billie Eilish joining the cast in the female lead were also dashed due to her packed schedule. With Eydelshteyn’s casting as the new male lead, the likelihood of Glover reprising his role as John seems slim. The first season concluded with a dramatic cliffhanger, leaving John and Jane in a precarious situation. However, Glover’s reduced role as an executive producer, combined with the showrunner’s anthological approach (similar to his work on Fargo), suggests the series may take a different direction, potentially without the original stars.
While speculation continues around Glover and co-star Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s returns, fans may want to focus on Eydelshteyn’s performance. The rising star, known for his role in Anora, has the potential to deliver a standout portrayal of John, perhaps rivaling Glover’s acclaimed performance in season 1.
