The speculation machine is in high gear with whispers floating around that Grammy and Oscar-winning artist Billie Eilish might be stepping into the coveted role of Jane for the upcoming second season of Mr. & Mrs. Smith. If true, she would be taking on a part originally portrayed by Angelina Jolie in the film and more recently by Maya Erskine in the series spin-off. This casting rumor hints at a major shake-up for the series, which is stirring up quite the buzz in the entertainment world.
New Beginnings for Mr. & Mrs. Smith
Amazon MGM Studios seems to be on a hunt for a talented cast in their twenties to assume the roles of John and Jane Smith for the show’s second season. Talk of Eilish joining the cast has fueled speculation that the show is looking to reinvent itself, possibly embracing an anthology format where each season could feature a new storyline with different actors.
While the show’s creators, Donald Glover and Francesca Sloane, have yet to confirm which direction they’re headed, there’s chatter that Billie Eilish might be in talks, adding a musical twist to her already impressive filmography. Billie, who dipped her toes into the acting world with a role in Donald Glover’s series Swarm, might find herself embroiled in spy antics and espionage.
The Plot Thickens
The first season of Mr. & Mrs. Smith ended on a high-stakes note with Glover and Maya Erskine’s characters plunging into a dramatic cliffhanger, tangled in a guns-blazing showdown. Known for its nods to ’70s cinema, the series left fans eager and guessing about what happens next. If rumors are true, the second season would shift gears, not necessarily picking up where the original left off, but instead exploring new stories with fresh faces.
The potential departure from the original cast could signal a creative refresh, allowing for unique storylines while giving the previous cast the option to make appearances, should Glover and Erskine choose to pop back in.
The Waiting Game
For now, Amazon MGM Studios remains tight-lipped about the official casting developments for the new season. However, Jennifer Salke, head of Amazon MGM Studios, teases that audiences will be satisfied with what’s coming next. It’s a promise of renewed excitement as fans eagerly await confirmation on whether Billie Eilish will indeed be lending her talents to this reinvented espionage universe.
Closing Credits
