Big success of 2019 on Netflix, the police comedy with Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler will be entitled to a sequel which has just filled up with actors, including a French star and a former La Casa de Papel.
After Dany Boon in the first episode, Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler will star Mélanie Laurent in Murder Mystery 2.
The actress, who is not in her first American film – we have of course seen her in Inglourious Basterds or more recently 6 Underground, already for Netflix – has indeed just been announced in the casting of this sequel currently in filming in Hawaii, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Released on Netflix in 2019, the first Murder Mystery had met with great success as soon as it was put online, even offering a record to the platform. At the time, the film became the most viewed in a weekend thanks to the 30.9 million households that had taken to the game of this whodunit.
No wonder therefore that a second episode has been ordered with, again, a large cast made up of faces known and less known to the public, surrounding the two American stars of the first opus who should once again find themselves at the heart of an investigation. wacky.
