Netflix has released the first clip and key art for Murder Mystery 2, the upcoming comedy sequel to the 2019 film starring Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler. It will be available for streaming on March 31.
The Murder Mystery 2 clip gives us a preview of Nick and Audrey’s arrival on an island paradise, as they attend the wedding of Adeel Akhtar’s Maharajah, one of the friends they met in the first film.
“Four years after solving their first murder mystery, Nick (Sandler) and Audrey Spitz (Aniston) are now full-time detectives struggling to get their private eye agency off the ground when they’re invited to celebrate the wedding of their friend the Maharaja (Akhtar) on his private island,” reads the synopsis. “But trouble follows the Spitzes again when the groom is kidnapped for ransom soon after the festivities begin — making each glamorous guest, family member, and the bride herself a suspect. Murder Mystery 2 sends Nick and Audrey Spitz on a high-stakes case that finally gives them everything they’ve ever dreamed of: a shot at their detective agency finally becoming successful…and their long-awaited trip to Paris.”
