The film, which also stars Luke Evans and is directed by Kyle Newacheck, centres on a New York City cop (Adam) who finally takes his wife (Jennifer) on a long promised European trip.

A chance meeting on the flight with a mysterious man (Luke) gets them invited to an intimate family gathering on the Super Yacht of elderly billionaire Malcolm Quince. When Quince is murdered, they become the prime suspects in a modern day whodunit.

Filming is currently taking place in the harbour of Santa Margherita Ligure (Genoa) and in the Lake Como Area of Italy.

“I love Italy. I was here with my wife a year ago and loved it so much I brought the kids with me this time and an entire movie crew... great food, great people, great family life,” said Adam on working in the European country.

Murder Mystery will be released worldwide on Netflix in 2019.
