In a strong debut, the highly anticipated series "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" has quickly risen to the top of the charts on Amazon Prime Video. With its eight-episode first season premiering on February 2, the show has now become the number one series on Prime Video in more than 130 countries.

While exact viewership data remains undisclosed, "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" has already secured a place among Amazon's top five new series debuts in terms of total viewers in the United States. Amazon has traditionally focused on promoting global viewership, but it is noteworthy that the streaming giant is specifically highlighting U.S. viewership this time, likely due to the measurement capabilities of Nielsen, with their streaming charts expected to provide more comprehensive data next month.

The series, starring Donald Glover and Maya Erskine, follows the journey of two strangers who find themselves working for a clandestine spy agency, offering them a life of luxury, globetrotting, and a dream home in Manhattan. However, the catch is that they must assume new identities as Mr. and Mrs. John and Jane Smith in an arranged marriage. As they navigate dangerous missions and new relationship milestones, their charade becomes further complicated when genuine emotions arise between them. "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" combines the elements of espionage and marriage, challenging the characters to weigh the risks involved in both.

Created by Francesca Sloane and Donald Glover, the series has garnered significant attention and praise. With the entire first season released at once, "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" holds an advantage in terms of viewing time within the first few weeks, a factor that Nielsen takes into account when reporting viewership. As a co-production between Amazon MGM Studios and New Regency, the show is a reimagining of New Regency's 2005 film of the same name. Yariv Milchan is the executive producer for the series.

With its captivating storyline and star-studded cast, "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" has quickly amassed a massive international audience, securing its place as the number one series on Prime Video across numerous countries. Fans eagerly await the release of Nielsen's streaming charts, which are expected to shed more light on the show's impressive viewership numbers both in the U.S. and globally.
