‘Mr. & Mrs. Smith’s Francesca Sloane & Hiro Murai On Donald Glover & Maya Erskine Cliffhanger & What Season 2 Might Bring – Crew Call Podcast


Mr and Mrs Smith co-creator Francesca Sloane and director EP Hiro Murai tease season 2 and whether Donald Glover and Maya Erskine are returning; talk up Emmy nominated season one.

“We’re just trying to make the best version of season 2 possible,” Sloane tells Crew Call, “That’s why we’re being so coy about it.” That is whether Glover and Erskine are really not returning. The duo talk about their series adaptation of the Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt 2005 near half billion grossing blockbuster and putting their own spin on it. For Murai, who won a 2023 Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Comedy Series for The Bear, his inspiration for Mr. & Mrs. Smith was the quiet and deliberately paced Japanese reality series Terrace House, while for Sloane, it was movies like Elaine May’s Mikey & Nicky in which it’s “a night that keeps going and going; gosh if I can tell a 3-hour version of an episode that lasts too long.”
