Netflix has confirmed when Murder Mystery 2 will drop on the streaming platform, and film fans don’t have long to wait. The sequel to the 2019 comedy stars Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston as a husband and wife who are caught up in yet another mystery, this time after a friend is kidnapped.
Murder Mystery saw the popular actor-comedian reunite with the Friends actress after starring together in 2011 rom-com Just Go with It. The film received mixed reviews when it dropped in June 2019, but proved a big hit amongst general audiences.
It boasted the biggest ever opening weekend for a Netflix film with more than 30m households tuning in during its first 72 hours on the platform. Its success saw Netflix announce a sequel just four months later, with production taking place early last year in Hawaii, the Carribean and Paris.
