Another Simple Favor (2025) is a dark comedy mystery and sequel to the 2018 film A Simple Favor, once again directed by Paul Feig. The film sees the return of Anna Kendrick as Stephanie Smothers and Blake Lively as Emily Nelson, alongside returning cast Henry Golding, Andrew Rannells, Bashir Salahuddin, and Ian Ho. New additions include Michele Morrone, Elena Sofia Ricci, Elizabeth Perkins, Alex Newell, and Allison Janney.
Set five years after the events of the first film, Stephanie travels to Capri, Italy, to attend Emily’s opulent wedding to a wealthy Italian businessman. The scenic celebration quickly unravels as murder, betrayal, and secrets from Emily’s mysterious past resurface. As Stephanie is drawn into yet another twisted web, the line between ally and adversary becomes increasingly blurred.
The film premiered at SXSW on March 7, 2025, and released on Amazon Prime Video on May 1, 2025. The movie was praised for its performances and visual flair, but criticized for its unfocused tone and provocative content.
Despite the backlash, director Paul Feig has shown interest in continuing the series, suggesting more might be in store for Stephanie and Emily. It is currently streaming now on Amazon Prime Video.
