Murder Mystery premiered last 2019 on the streaming service Netflix, reuniting 2011's Just Go With It stars Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler. Impressively, Murder Mystery broke a streaming record for Netflix, surpassing 31 Million views in less than three days. Following the film's successful launch, a sequel was officially announced by Netflix last September, and Aniston and Sandler will reprise their roles in Murder Mystery 2.

Helmed by Kyle Newacheck, Murder Mystery follows Nick Spitz (Adam Sandler) and Audrey Spitz's (Jennifer Aniston) attempt to reinvent the spark of their marriage but eventually leads them to be framed for the murder of an elderly billionaire.

Now, according to Aniston's recent Instagram post, the actress revealed that Murder Mystery 2 has wrapped filming. Aniston shared some behind-the-scenes while filming the sequel, a clip of Aniston and Adam Sandler together, Eiffel Tower, and some scenes behind the camera. The video is captioned, "Merciiii Paris. That's a wrap."

While we don't have much information yet about the upcoming sequel, aside from the film being set in Paris, Jeremy Garelick is confirmed to direct Murder Mystery 2. Alongside Aniston and Sandler, Adeel Akhtar is also reprising his role as The Maharajah, with John Kani (Black Panther) as Colonel Ulenga.

As for new additions to the cast, Mark Strong, Mélanie Laurent, Jodie Turner-Smith, Kuhoo Verma, Enrique Arce, Tony Goldwyn, Annie Mumolo, and Zurin Villanueva are set to join the sequel. However, their roles are still unknown.

Murder Mystery ended with both Nick and Audrey being handed an invitation to the famed orient Orient Express, which hints that the sequel might take place on the infamous train. However, Aniston's latest Instagram post, reveals that the sequel will instead center on Paris.

According to recent reports, Murder Mystery is being fast-tracked to push a scheduled 2022 release date, but Netflix hasn't officially announced it yet.
