Murder Mystery 2 finds Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston re-teaming for another globe-trotting whodunnit, and this is everything we know about the sequel, from plot and cast to release date and brand-new trailer.
The first Murder Mystery dropped on Netflix in 2019, and saw Sandler and Aniston becoming embroiled in a murder investigation on a billionaire’s yacht.
The comedy-thriller was viewed by more than 30 million households in its first three days of release, giving it the streamer’s biggest opening weekend up to that time.
A sequel therefore became inevitable, and it’s now in the can and set to hit later this year. So this is everything we know about the forthcoming movie…
Murder Mystery 2 release date: When is it out?
Murder Mystery 2 is releasing on March 31.

Murder-Mystery 2 plot: What’s it about?
This is the newest synopsis for the action-comedy…
Four years after solving their first murder mystery, Nick and Audrey Spitz 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 on his private island. 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.
Speaking of the streamer’s reasons for continuing this story, Netflix executive Kira Goldberg told Variety: “We have two sequels this year coming in two different genres – Murder Mystery 2 and Extraction 2. Both are delivering on characters that the audience loved and expanding those storylines. Murder Mystery takes you to places that you haven’t been before in the last installment.”
