Another Simple Favor
Another Simple Favor is a 2025 American black comedy mystery film directed by Paul Feig from a screenplay by Jessica Sharzer and Laeta Kalogridis. It is the sequel to A Simple Favor (2018), which in turn is based on the 2017 novel by Darcey Bell. Anna Kendrick, Blake Lively, Henry Golding, Andrew Rannells, Bashir Salahuddin, Kelly McCormack, Joshua Satine, and Ian Ho reprise their roles from the first film, with Michele Morrone, Elena Sofia Ricci, Alex Newell, and Allison Janney joining the cast, while Elizabeth Perkins replaces Jean Smart.
The film's development was announced in 2022 by Lionsgate in partnership with Amazon MGM Studios, and with Feig returning to direct, while Kendrick and Lively were confirmed to be reprising their roles. Production started in 2024, when it was also announced that the film will be released on Amazon Prime Video, despite the first film being released theatrically. Filming took place between March and May 2024 in Capri and at the Villa Adriana, in Italy.
Another Simple Favor premiered at the South by Southwest Festival on March 7, 2025, and was released on Amazon Prime Video on May 1. It received mixed reviews from critics.
Five years after the first film, Stephanie Smothers is a famous true crime vlogger, an amateur detective and has written a book about her friendship with Emily Nelson and her subsequent imprisonment. At a book signing, Emily appears, as she is filing an appeal. Marrying her old friend Dante Versano, a wealthy Italian from a mafia-connected family, she asks Stephanie to be her maid of honor. Emily pressures her to accept, promising increased book sales and threatening a potential lawsuit.
Arriving in Capri with Dante and Stephanie's agent Vicky, they reunite with Emily's ex-husband Sean and son Nicky. Also there are Emily's mother Margaret and her aunt Linda, as well as Dante's mother Portia. The latter accuses her of marrying Dante for his money. At the pre-wedding lunch, bitter and intoxicated, Sean argues heatedly with Dante.
Stephanie and Emily reconnect at her "bachelorette party", where she is the only guest. Returning to the hotel, Stephanie finds Sean murdered in his hotel room, which local police write off as an "accident". Suspecting Emily's involvement, she follows her the next day, but an American tourist distracts her.
The 'tourist' is FBI agent Irene Walker, investigating Linda. She shows Stephanie a photo of Linda talking to a mysterious woman with Emily's tattoo. They are interrupted by Dante, who Stephanie later sees in a heated discussion with Matteo Bartolo, a Versanos' rival family member.
Emily and Dante are married. At the reception, he overtly burns their prenuptial agreement, declaring it a gesture of peace between the Versanos and the Bartolos. Later that evening, Stephanie follows Dante as he leaves the reception, only to witness him being shot dead.
