Glad to hear it. S1 ended perfectly and I think making it an anthology series with different couples is way more interesting.
I don't know...the chemistry between the leads is the whole appeal. So you're rolling the dice when you try to do this as an anthology. We'll see. Just a wee bit disappointing.
Glover and Erskine are both incredibly busy. I get it. It's not a cheap or easy show to film. Lots of locale jumping, they both have families. It's probably just not worth it for both of them long term.

Now you are almost forced to keep replacing them every new season if you do it once.
But casting a new set of Smiths every season is such a bold decision it verges on mismanagement.
The chemistry on the first season is perfect, so achieving that again and then throwing that away to start anew is an uphill battle.

Can certainly tell like half the replies in here haven't actually watched the show or grasp the concept of the organization that hires the Smiths, lol
This was a great show, but these 2 kind of made it. Interested to see how they go forward with different Smiths.
I don't really care about seeing other Smiths tho, or their organization
The concept for the show absolutely could work with a different couple and explore different dynamics/challenges within relationships.
As long as the chemistry between the leads is right, I don't have a problem with this at all.

Sigh.
I"ll watch it but I'm not super jazzed about this direction. Unless it takes place in a new city, with different Smiths and it doesn't flat out confirm their deaths. I'd be fine with that, because then I can imagine them moving on to have kids and live happily ever after, with the potential for cameo appearances from them in later seasons.
EDIT: Okay, the original thread title was super misleading lol.

I don't see why this wouldn't work with two new "Smiths" so long as they have chemistry.
Hopefully I will walk onto the active set of Mr and Mrs Smith season 2 accidentally just like I did season 1! 😂 (And unknowingly photograph the stars, too!)

Mr. & Mrs. Smith Season 1 | Official Trailer | Prime Video | Feb 2 | Donald Glover, Maya Erskine Entertainment - Video/Streaming
I happened to be staying in Manhattan in the meat packing district the day one of the final scenes for this was being shot. My wife and I were staying at The Standard and we walked out of the hotel and started walking down the block. Everyone was standing still and then everyone started walking...

I mean yeah, it's clearly spelled out in the 1st season that there are a number of Mr & Mrs Smiths.
LOVED that first season. Does not compute that Glover and Erskine wouldn't return given how they ended it. But maybe they are in it in the first ep of the season, wrap up their storyline, and introduce some sort of new element, new couple with some new dynamics and that's the concept of the show now. Each season is a couple being spies while dealing with relationship stuff. It's such a great launchpad for stories. But it even now, feels like it could get long in the tooth now that the novelty is kinda over. It would all depend on whether any given couple is interesting.
I mean, if people hopped from the movie couple to this one, doing it a third time doesn't seem impossible.
Well that was a rollercoaster of emotions.
I just don't see the appeal of retreading the same story beat with this premise. Especially when we already got a glimpse of another dynamic in the first season.
Not sure if I stick around for season 2, Glover and Erskine were near perfect for this.

That's so strange unless the limited series category is stacked this year and they didn't think they would win.
They're not the only ones.
Will FX Move ‘Shogun’ to Drama Series, Upending Several Major Emmy Races?
Is FX's "Shogun" moving to the Emmys drama series categories, from the limited or anthology races?
variety.com
In the end, nothing will be in the limited series category and like the Daily Wire will win an Emmy for their shitty Bluey ripoff
They kind of wrote them into a corner by the end of the first season so I'm not too surprised about new leads. Glover's busy and Erskine is pregnant again so it would be a while before we'd get another season with them anyway if they were to come back.
She already has a deal with them and without Donald around there shouldn't be any creative issues now.
It should have been a one and done since the first season told a complete story but the premise is already setup for a semi-anthology series with another couple exploring other types of relationships.
Finding a new leads to match Donald Glover and Maya Erskine will be tough but I think it's better than following those two as they're on the run from the company. Unravelling what the company actually is would be a mistake so that doesn't leave much room beyond having them get eliminated like Smith couple in the first scene anyway..

Yeah I'd be down with them not coming back. I'm a little over Glover's shtick and maybe we can get Phoebe-Waller Bridge back and her take this time around.
This is what I'm thinking
after killing the Smith assasins from season 1 they are now employed as Smith hunters and season 2 will end with them killing (or teaming up with) the new couple
I always appreciate it when a series goes the anthology route because it's risky but can pay off massively. However, I'm going to be honest, the only reason why I watched the show was because of Glover.
