The Netflix film “Murder Mystery” starring Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston was somewhat of a surprise hit, and consequently a sequel is in the works at the streaming service. Sandler and Aniston are expected to return for the second film, with James Vanderbilt in negotiations to return to write the script.
Per Deadline, “Murder Mystery” starred Sandler and Aniston as a married couple who become embroiled in a murder plot while on a European vacation, bickering their way through the solving of the mystery. Luke Evans and Terence Stamp co-starred.
It was directed by Kyle Newacheck.
While no specific viewing numbers are usually revealed on Netflix shows, the company did announce that almost 31 million households viewed the movie in the first 72 hours, making it one of the biggest opening weekends in Netflix’s history.
No deals have been set yet but Sandler does have a deal in place at Netflix already for his films.
