Shooting is underway in Venice on “Upgraded 2,” the sequel to Amazon MGM Studios’ buzzy 2024 rom-com “Upgraded” that, as announced, is set to star Leslie Bibb alongside Camila Mendes.

Mendes is returning to the franchise as Ana Santos, an intern at a New York City auction house who feigns a higher job status after she is upgraded to first class on her flight to London. During the flight, she impresses a wealthy young Englishman named William who is connected to the high-society art world, played by Archie Renaux.
