Where Was ‘Murder Mystery 2’ Filmed? Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston’s Netflix Movie Travelled the World

Netflix’s Murder Mystery, a new comedy starring Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler, is the perfect movie to turn on when you want to turn off of your brain after a long week at work. The latest in Sandler’s deal with the streaming service deal via his production company Happy Madison, it’s a harmless, silly film that reunites two comedy powerhouse. In 2011’s Just Go with It, Aniston and Sandler were a fake husband and wife on vacation in Hawai’i. In Murder Mystery, they play a real husband and wife on vacation in Europe, who get caught up in a murder investigation.

Writer James Vanderbilt doesn’t hold back on the Agatha Christie references, which means this is an old-fashion murder mystery, complete with a list of suspects. (And that list includes Aniston and Sandler’s characters.) This left plenty of room for director Kyle Newacheck to cast a fun supporting cast for these quirky characters that will remind you of the board game Clue. There’s even a colonel!

So who did it? The butler? The Maharajah? The guy who supposedly doesn’t speak English? You’ll have to watch the movie to find out. But if you’re looking to get to know the cast, you’ve come to the right place. We assume you know who Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston are already, so we’ve left those A-listers off the list. But scroll through the slideshow above if you want to get to know the supporting Murder Mystery cast, including Gemma Arterton, Luke Evans, Shiori Kutsuna and more.
