EXCLUSIVE: Mr. & Mrs. Smith has cast another of the titular characters — Yonatan Gebeyehu has boarded the upcoming second season of the Prime Video series, which has been filming in Los Angeles.
He joins fellow Mr. Smiths Mark Eydelshteyn and Matt Rogers, who were previously cast as characters using the alias. On the distaff side, Talia Ryder and Francesca Scorsese are among those portraying Mrs. Smiths. Of the group, Eydelshteyn and Ryder are said to play a couple the way Donald Glover and Maya Erskine did in Season 1. (Glover and Erskine are believed to be reprising their titular John Smith and Jane Smith roles, respectively; to what extent is unclear.)
Plot details about Season 2 of the spy drama series from Amazon MGM Studios and New Regency are being kept under wraps.
From co-creators and executive producers Glover and Francesca Sloane, Mr. & Mrs. Smith is a reimagining of the 2005 New Regency film. Glover is set to direct multiple episodes in Season 2 after helming the Season 1 finale.
Anna Ouyang Moench serves as showrunner, writer and executive producer alongside Glover for Season 2. Yariv Milchan, Michael Schaefer, Stephen Glover, Anthony Katagas and Fam Udeorji return as executive producers, joined by Erskine.
Mr. & Mrs. Smith earned 16 Emmy nominations for its first season in 2024, winning two statuettes. No release date for Season 2 has been announced but a 2027 launch appears likely.
Gebeyehu comes from theater background. He has performed at various Off-Broadway theaters, including Theatre For A New Audience, Manhattan Theatre Club, Clubbed Thumb, and Bedlam, as well as international and regional theaters.
In TV, he has done one-off guest starring roles on Fox’s Prodigal Son, CBS’ Elementary and CBS’ Madam Secretary. Gebeyehu recently had a small role in the movie One Night Only headlined by Monica Barbaro and Callum Turner. He is repped by Julia Berman with Act One Management.
