The "Horrible Bosses 2" trailer was released Tuesday and reunites old friends Nick, Kurt and Dale from the popular 2011 comedy, though they're taken in a new direction. Jason Bateman, Charlie Day and Jason Sudeikis return as the men who tried to kill their destructive and sadistic bosses.

The "Horrible Bosses 2" movie trailer revealed that the sequel takes place after their stunt in the first film. The three friends started their own business, but when a conniving investor steals their start up money, they decide to become real criminals and kidnap his son as ransom— a crazy scheme that is sure to involve a lot of hi-jinks.

Returning to the franchise are the horrible bosses themselves: Kevin Spacey and Jennifer Aniston reprise their roles as the crazed, domineering killer and sex-crazed dentist, respectively. Jamie Foxx is also in the movie as Dean "Motherf-----" Jones, the three friends' crime consultant.

"Ya'll the craziest criminals I ever met," says Jones, referencing their last dangerous scheme. "You wanna pull this s--- off? You gotta act like it."

Newcomers to the series are Christoph Waltz of "Django Unchained" and Chris Pine of "Star Trek: Into Darkness." The men play the investor father and son.

Though not everyone expected a "Horrible Bosses" sequel, the comedy gained positive reviews after its release and managed to bring in $210 million at the box office. Sean Anders, who helmed "Hot Tub Time Machine," "Dumb and Dumber To" and "We're The Millers," will be directing the film.

"Horrible Bosses 2" is set for release on Nov. 26.
