Amazon Studios has announced that its 2020 film “My Spy” will be receiving a sequel.

The streaming giant recently confirmed that “My Spy: The Eternal City” will feature the return of Dave Bautista, Ken Jeong, Chloe Coleman, Kristen Schaal and director Peter Segal, who has previously worked on hit films such as “Get Smart” and “50 First Dates.”

In the franchise’s first film, which premiered on June 26, 2020, CIA agent JJ, played by Bautista, is sent on an undercover mission to watch the family of a young girl named Sophie, played by Coleman.

The sequel takes place several years later and has JJ chaperoning Sophie’s school trip to Italy. Chaos ensues as the two find themselves caught up in a terrorist plot involving Sophie’s best friend, Collin, and Collin’s father, CIA Chief David Kim.
