Francesca Scorsese Joins Mr. & Mrs. Smith Season 2 as Production Restarts in Los Angeles

A $22.4 million California tax credit restarted filming in April under Donald Glover’s continued creative leadership.

Overview

  • Producers restarted Season 2 filming in Los Angeles after securing a $22.4 million tax credit from the California Film Commission, with principal photography beginning in April.
  • Francesca Scorsese has been cast as one of the Jane Smiths, joining new younger pairs that include Mark Eydelshteyn and Talia Ryder.
  • Anna Ouyang Moench is serving as showrunner, Maya Erskine joined Season 2 as an executive producer, and Donald Glover will direct multiple episodes.
  • Amazon MGM Studios and New Regency continue to produce the series with many Season 1 executive producers returning, but creators are keeping plot specifics and a release date private.
  • The move back to California follows Season 1’s strong awards showing—16 Emmy nominations and two wins—and the tax incentive highlights how state credits can sway where high-profile TV productions shoot and hire local crews.
