Prime Video's Mr. & Mrs. Smith will reportedly have to wait a lot longer for answers. The second season, which fans were excited for, is on hold indefinitely.

The news comes as production plans were quietly pushed back, leaving viewers wondering if the cliffhanger ending of Season 1 will ever be resolved.



Why was the production pushed back?


Fans who were excited to see what happened after the cliffhanger ending of Season 1 will have to wait even longer for the second season of Mr. & Mrs. Smith.


Deadline says that filming was supposed to start in the fall, but it has been pushed back and a new date has not been set. Reports say that problems with the cast might be the reason for the production halt.

What part does Francesca Sloan's move play?



Francesca Sloan, who co-created the show with Donald Glover, was supposed to be the showrunner for Season 2. But she just signed a deal with HBO for everything, and she's now working on Season 3 of Big Little Lies. This change may have made it harder to stick to production schedules, which adds to the show's uncertainty, as per a report by Men’s Journal.

What does this mean for the future of the show?



Amazon hasn't said anything about the show's status, so fans are still in the dark. The delay happened even though Mr. and Mrs. Smith got a $22.4 million tax credit from the California Film Commission. They were going to move production from New York to Los Angeles.

The rules say that production must start within 18 months of getting the credit, which was given out in March, so there isn't much time left to stay eligible, as per a report by Men’s Journal.


The future of the series is still up in the air for now. The first season ended with a dangerous gunfight, and viewers were left wondering if John and Jane Smith made it out alive. Fans are left waiting anxiously for the story that captivated them to come to an end, since there is no word on when filming might start up again.
