Murder Mystery 2 Interview: Jodie Turner-Smith on the Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston Sequel
11Like the first movie, Netflix’s sequel, Murder Mystery 2, pits the hilarious Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston up against an ensemble cast of suspects when their friend is kidnapped from his own wedding. One of those in attendance is the regal Countess Sekou, played by Jodie Turner-Smith. Turner-Smith is best known for roles like Queen opposite Oscar-winner Daniel Kaluuya in Queen & Slim and as the titular ill-fated queen in the three-part miniseries, Anne Boleyn. Before Murder Mystery 2 premiered on Netflix, Collider’s Steve Weintraub spoke to Turner-Smith who told us, “this is the most fun I've ever had on a movie.”
Four years since their European debacle, Nick (Sandler) and Audrey (Aniston) Spitz are struggling to get their own private eye agency recognized. Having solved their first mystery, how hard could it be? When the couple is invited to a luxurious wedding by none other than The Maharajah (Adeel Akhtar), that very question is put to the test. The Spitzes set off to a private island, where a new crop of suspects – er, guests – are ready to party. Soon, however, The Maharajah is taken hostage, and it’s up to Nick and Audrey to sort through the clues and the mayhem. Murder Mystery 2 also features Mark Strong, Mélanie Laurent, John Kani, Jillian Bell, and more.
During their conversation, which you can watch in the video above or read below, Turner-Smith shares what it’s like on set with Sandler and Aniston and raves about Aniston’s epic action stunts in the film. Turner-Smith also discusses her many upcoming projects, from joining the Star Wars universe in The Acolyte, to the joy of working with Ncuti Gatwa in Sex Education Season 4, and Vince Vaughn in Bill Lawrence’s novel adaptation of Bad Monkey.
