The most recent version of “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” became available on Prime Video last month and viewers were captivated by the extravagant locations featured in the spy-themed story.
In the 2005 movie, Brangelina settled into unholy matrimony in the suburbs. However, in the TV series, actors Donald Glover and Maya Erskine portray a more urban version of John and Jane Smith. Their characters have abandoned their individual lives and identities to become partners, both in espionage and in marriage, as stated in the promotional material for the show.
Imagine a series of Bond-inspired missions taking place in various locations throughout North America and southern Europe for a total of eight episodes.
Recordings were made of farmers’ markets and art auctions taking place in New York City.
Prime Video’s David Lee
Reworded: The new action series on Prime Video showcases New York City scenery and features scenes filmed in various high-risk places such as lakes, mountains, and towns in Italy.
Where was Mr & Mrs Smith filmed?
New York City
The Smith family lives in a modern townhouse in New York City.
The cameras captured footage in New York City as Jane and John familiarized themselves with each other in the desirable setting of a chic brownstone townhouse. This was a stark contrast to the suburban setting of the 2005 version.
In other locations, the couple frequently visited the farmers market and coffee shop, and the disturbing art auction in episode two took place in famous areas of Manhattan, Tribeca, and Central Park in New York City.
Colfosco
Jane and John embark on their inaugural trip to the Italian Dolomites, called “First Vacation”.
The spy pair embarks on their “First Vacation” during episode three, venturing to the snowy mountains of the Italian Dolomites to carry out a mission involving Gavol and Parker, a married couple.
The filming occurred in the cozy vacation destination of Colfosco, located in South Tyrol and a part of the Alta Badia ski area that is accessible by gondola.
Veneto
I’m not sure what this is asking for.
Rewritten: Veneto creates the setting for the process of extracting Italian heritage.
The duo experiences an Italian summer as they navigate through Veneto to complete a mission of retrieving something from a compromised safe house. This leads to an intense car chase at high speeds through the winding roads.

Lake Como
The lakefront cottage owned by the couple is located on Lake Como.
The latter portion of the fifth episode, titled “Do You Want Kids?”, was recorded in the highly lavish location of Lake Como. This is where Mr. and Mrs. Smith seek refuge in their lakeside cottage, having escaped from “the company” in Veneto.
While the designated safe area turned out to not be as secure as intended, the picturesque waters of Como provide a stunning setting for this thrilling installment.
The full season of ‘Mr & Mrs Smith’ can now be streamed on Amazon Prime Video.
