Filming forthe project first began in Oahu, Hawaiiin January 2022, andeventually wrapped that Aprilin Paris.
Aniston talked to PEOPLE in June 2022about making the sequel, saying, “It was three months away from home. And that was challenging, only because I hadn’t been away from my dogs since the [beginning of the] pandemic. Also, Ukraine was a stone’s throw away.”
She added that she felt “so useless” making a comedy after Russian president Vladimir Putin launched his invasion into Ukraine in February but soon remembered 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 to not think for a minute,” Aniston said.
