Mr. & Mrs. Smith Watch Order in the correct order

How to watch the Mr. & Mrs. Smith movies and series in order

A married couple who are secretly assassins has powered both a blockbuster film and a modern streaming series. Here's how the two versions of Mr. & Mrs. Smith fit together.

Mr. & Mrs. Smith explores a deliciously dangerous premise: a married couple who each secretly work as assassins. The 2005 film starred Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, while a 2024 series reimagined the concept with a fresh pair of spies navigating both espionage and a growing relationship.

The 2005 film was a box-office smash famous for the sizzling chemistry of its leads, while the 2024 series, co-created by and starring Donald Glover alongside Maya Erskine, took a more grounded, character-driven approach to the same premise. Comparing the two is a great way to see how a high-concept action-romance can be reinvented for the streaming era.

πŸ• Release Order

Release order shows how the hit film inspired its reinvented streaming counterpart.

  1. Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005)
  2. Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2024)

The 2024 series is a reimagining rather than a sequel, so the two share only a premise, not a timeline.

πŸ“– Story Chronology

Story chronology matches release order, as each version tells its own independent story of spies in love.

  1. Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005)
  2. Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2024)

Which Order Should You Choose?

You can start with either. The 2005 film is a breezy action-comedy, while the 2024 series is a more character-driven slow burn. Watching the film first gives you a fun sense of what the series is riffing on.
