Levon Hawke to be seen in second season of 'Mr. & Mrs. Smith'
Los Angeles, June 12
'Marty Supreme' actor Levon Hawke will be seen in a pivotal role in the second season of 'Mr. & Mrs. Smith'.
The show is in production in Los Angeles, as per The Hollywood Reporter.
Hawke joins a cast that also include Mark Eydelshteyn, Talia Ryder, Francesca Scorsese and Matt Rogers. Details about how the various Smiths and other characters will come together are being kept under wraps.
Anna Ouyang Moench is set to serve as showrunner for the second season of Mr. & Mrs. Smith. She joined the project in January, succeeding co-creator and season one showrunner Francesca Sloane. Moench's appointment follows a pause in production by Amazon MGM and New Regency last fall, around the same time Sloane signed an overall deal with HBO.
Moench is executive producing season two with season one stars Donald Glover (who also co-created the series) and Maya Erskine, Yariv Milchan, Michael Schaefer, Stephen Glover, Anthony Katagas and Fam Udeorji. Donald Glover is also directing a few episodes in season two.

Honestly, I'm a bit skeptical about how many Smiths they're adding. The original premise was about two spies being a married couple - now it sounds like an entire spy agency. Hope they don't lose the core chemistry that made season one work. Donald Glover directing is a good sign though. 🤔
Finally! I was wondering when they'd announce more about season 2. The first season was such a refreshing take on the spy genre - those slow-burn moments between Glover and Erskine were chef's kiss. Hope the new showrunner keeps that intimate vibe even with the expanded cast. Levon Hawke is a nice addition, he was good in 'The Crowded Room'.
More Smiths? Sounds like they're trying to do an anthology thing. I just hope they don't stretch it too thin like some Marvel shows. The original cast had such great chemistry - bringing in new faces every season could work if the writing stays sharp. Fingers crossed for Anna Ouyang Moench, she wrote some solid episodes of 'Better Call Saul'.
Good to see some fresh casting - Mark Eydelshteyn was brilliant in 'The Boy and the Heron'. But honestly, I wish they'd give more details about the plot. Keeping things 'under wraps' is fine, but after a year of delays, fans deserve a little more than just casting news. Hope Amazon doesn't rush this.
The showrunner change makes me a bit nervous - Francesca Sloane's vision was so distinct. But Anna Ouyang Moench has solid credentials. The fact that Donald Glover is still directing gives me hope
