We've had droves of new music coming out already in 2023 – now it's time to start getting excited about the year's upcoming movie releases. While some huge titles like Margot Robbie's Barbie and Halle Bailey's The Little Mermaid will be making their debut in theatres, others, like Murder Mystery 2 will be available on Netflix for your streaming pleasure.
On Monday (January 30), the platform unveiled the long-awaited trailer for the 2019 favourite's sequel. Starring Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler, the original movie went on to become the year's most-streamed project, though it earned just a 44% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Murder Mystery found the on-screen couple attempting to revive their marriage's spark in Europe. The follow-up takes place four years later, as Nick and Audrey Spitz (Sandler and Aniston) are working as full-time detectives with aspirations of launching their own private eye agency.
As PEOPLE notes, a wedding invitation comes their way from Maharaja (played by Adeel Akhtar), who requests their presence on his private island. "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," a synopsis explains.
Aside from the Uncut Gems lead and the Friends starlet, other MM2 cast members include Jodie Turner-Smith, Mélanie Laurent, Dany Boon, and Mark Strong, among others.
In today's trailer, it was confirmed that the highly anticipated movie will make its debut on March 31.
If you're in need of a Netflix recommendation while we wait for the arrival of Murder Mystery 2, we suggest you stream You People. The comedy stars Jonah Hill, Lauren London, Nia Long, Eddie Murphy, and more – it's a must-watch for anyone in need of a good laugh.
Check out the trailer for that movie here, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.
