    The Mr. and Mrs. Smith cast just got bigger.

    The Amazon series, which will star Donald Glover and Maya Erskine in the title roles and feature Michaela Coel, John Turturro, and Paul Dano as guest stars, has added Parker Posey and Wagner Moura in recurring roles. 

    Details for their characters are not yet known, though the series, based on the 2005 film starring Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, sees a couple "hired by a mysterious spy agency, venturing into espionage, marriage, and learning to intimately navigate both."

    Moura, perhaps best known for playing Pablo Escobar in Narcos, was most recently seen in the Netflix action film The Gray Man. Longtime screen gem Posey recently appeared in HBO's The Staircase and AMC anthology series Tales of the Walking Dead

    Glover co-created Mr. and Mrs. Smith with Francesca Sloane (FargoAtlanta). Fleabag's Phoebe Waller-Bridge was originally set to star opposite Glover, but departed the project last year over "different creative visions".
