Mark Strong, Jodie Turner-Smith, and Mélanie Laurent are among the new roster of cast members Netflix has just announced will be appearing in the sequel to the Adam Sandler and Jenifer Aniston led movie, Murder Mystery.
The first movie was a big pull for Netflix with it pulling in 83 million accounts in the first 28 days with 30.9 million doing so in the first 72 hours. Up until Netflix switched its viewership metrics, the movie was the fifth most-viewed title by accounts.
Murder Mystery was soon given a sequel which is going to be set in Hawaii as well as Paris and the Caribbean with Jeremy Garelick taking over director duties from Kyle Newacheck.
