In the nine seconds of footage we're offered from Mr and Mrs Smith, Glover's John and Erskine's Jane stand in a lift together, before John asks an unknown figure: "Have you ever killed anyone?"
The two are then seen sitting on a park bench eating lunch together, as John notes "this marriage is starting off on a great foot" while Jane smiles.
The series also stars Jon Turturro and Michaela Coel, plus Parker Posey and The Batman's Paul Dano.
Phoebe Waller-Bridge of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny was originally involved as co-writer and co-lead, but dropped out in 2021 over creative differences.

She told Vanity Fair: "I worked on that show for six months fully in heart and mind and really cared about it — still care about it. And I know it's gonna be brilliant.
"But sometimes it's about knowing when to leave the part. You don't want to get in the way of a vision," Waller-Bridge added. "Some marriages just don't work out."
Mr and Mrs Smith premieres in November, streaming on Prime Video.
