Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick Reunite in Thrilling Sequel
Amazon Prime Video has officially dropped the first trailer for Another Simple Favor, the highly anticipated sequel to the 2018 cult hit A Simple Favor. Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick reprise their iconic roles in this stylish mystery-thriller, which is set to premiere globally on May 1, 2025, exclusively on Prime Video.
Emily and Stephanie Are Back—But Trust Is Thin
Directed by Paul Feig, the film picks up with Emily (played by Blake Lively) fresh out of prison and preparing to marry a wealthy Italian businessman in the breathtaking coastal setting of Capri, Italy. She invites her unlikely friend (and former adversary), Stephanie (Anna Kendrick), to serve as her maid of honor. But what begins as a luxe Mediterranean celebration quickly takes a dark turn.
The trailer hints at rising tension as Stephanie grows suspicious of Emily’s new fiancé, portrayed by 365 Days star Michele Morrone, and the eccentric guests surrounding the opulent affair. Stephanie’s doubts resurface about Emily’s past—and what she might be hiding this time.
A Return to Stylish Deception and Deadly Games
Another Simple Favor promises the same blend of camp, couture, and crime that made the original a hit. The film debuted at the 2025 SXSW Festival, receiving early praise for its sharp script, glamorous aesthetic, and high-stakes drama. The original film, released in 2018, grossed $97 million worldwide and gained a devoted fanbase for its twisty plot and the electric chemistry between Kendrick and Lively.
Fans can expect more cocktails, couture, and conspiracies as the story unfolds in the sun-drenched Italian Riviera. With secrets unraveling against the backdrop of lavish wedding festivities, Another Simple Favor ups the ante in every way.
