Pada Januari 2006 , ABC mengumumkan bahawa satu siri televisyen sedang dibuat berdasarkan filemnyanya. Pengarang Simon Kinberg dan Pengarah Doug Liman bergabung membawakan satu kejutan kepada layar televisyen biasa. Walaupun Jolie dan Pitt tidak akan kembali untuk versi ini , ini talah dikatakan bahawa "penarian bakat seluruh dunia" akan diadakan untuk mendapatkan pasangan seperti yang dikehendaki. Filem ini secara rasminya ditempah kepada pilot. Aktres Jordana Brewster memilih untuk menjadi Mrs. Smith.[2]

Di ABC network's upfront presentation on May 15th 2007 it was revealed that the pilot was not ordered to series. It is not on ABC's fall schedule.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Regency TV is shopping its "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" pilot that failed to make it onto ABC's schedule.[perlu rujukan]

The trade paper says that Regency and production partner Dutch Oven had a contract stipulation that if "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" wasn't picked up, it would receive an early release. Thus, other networks will get the opportunity to see "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" as early as next week to decide if ABC made the correct decision.

If it were to find a new network home, "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" will retain its main creative components -- Simon Kinberg and Doug Liman, who wrote and directed both the pilot and the film -- as well as its stars, Jordana Brewster and Martin Henderson, who had the unenviable task of filling in for feature leads Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.

Like the movie, "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" focused on married assassins-for-hire. The pilot was rumored to be one of the spring's most costly.
