Two new comedies are coming to Netflix, and they both have A-list casts.

First up: Murder Mystery 2. The 2019 movie starring Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston is getting a sequel, Deadline reports. The original movie followed a married couple whose vacation is derailed when they get framed for murder on a billionaire's yacht. Sandler and Aniston haven't officially confirmed that they'll be returning, but they're reportedly expected to reprise their roles. 

Jeremy Garelick is directing the sequel – he previously scripted 2006's The Break-Up, which starred Aniston and Vince Vaughn. He also directed The Wedding Ringer and The Binge.

The streamer also has a new movie starring Kevin Hart and Mark Wahlberg on the cards – Me Time is a comedy about a stay-at-home dad (Hart) who finds himself with some free time for the first time in years. He ends up reconnecting with an old friend (Walhberg), and a wild weekend ensues. 

Hart is also producing, while John Hamburg, who co-wrote Night School with Hart and has directed movies like Along Came Polly and I Love You, Man. This will be the first time that Hart and Wahlberg have appeared in a movie together.
