In February 2022, Aniston shared a photo of herself and pal Sandler on a beach as they began filming the movie.

“Back to work with my mate. #MurderMystery2,” she captioned the snapshot. Then, in April, the co-stars documented their behind-the-scenes experience as they marked the conclusion of filming: “Merciiii Paris 🇫🇷 It’s over.”

Aniston told PEOPLE in June that he did the sequel, saying, “It was three months away from home. And it was hard, only because I hadn’t been away from my dogs since the [beginning of the] pandemic. Also, Ukraine was just around the corner.”

She added that she felt “so pointless” doing a comedy after Russian President Vladimir Putin launched his invasion of Ukraine in February, but was quick to remember the importance of laughter in people’s lives.

“I reminded myself that this is what people need. People want to laugh. People need comedies. People like not to think for a minute,” Aniston said.

The actress admitted she doesn’t put “as much pressure” on herself after going through the pandemic.

Plus, “It’s also about ‘What would I like to do?’ ‘Cause there’s been enough work I’ve done that I haven’t had fun. There’s been movies I’ve done where I’m like, ‘Ugh, I just ate a Big Mac to breakfast, lunch and dinner. .’

Aniston added, “It’s about how I want to spend my time and who I want to spend it with.”

Murder Mystery 2 is on Netflix on March 31.
