Get ready to raise a toast — and your heart rate — because ‘A Simple Favor’ is back, and this time, the stakes are even higher. Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively return to their iconic roles in the much-anticipated sequel, set against the dreamy backdrop of Capri, Italy.

The film, a Lionsgate and Feigco Entertainment production, will premiere globally on Prime Video starting May 1, 2025.

Directed by Paul Feig and based on characters created by Darcey Bell, the film brings back the deliciously dark energy of the original with a glamorous Mediterranean twist. Kendrick reprises her role as Stephanie Smothers, the prim and proper mommy vlogger turned accidental sleuth, while Lively returns as the mysterious and ever-enigmatic Emily Nelson — now preparing for an extravagant wedding to a wealthy Italian businessman.

But this isn’t just a fairy-tale wedding. The trailer teases a celebration gone sinister, with betrayal, secrets, and murder lurking behind the designer gowns and luxurious scenery. Capri, known for its picturesque charm, becomes the setting for a story that twists tighter with every frame — a perfect metaphor for the winding roads that cut through the island.

Paul Feig, who also produced the film alongside Laura Fischer, promises another gripping blend of thriller, dark comedy, and irresistible style. “It’s more than a sequel,” Feig shared in a press statement. “It’s a deep dive into who these women have become — and what they’re willing to do to stay one step ahead.”

The cast is packed with star power, with returning favorites and new faces joining the suspense-filled saga. The lineup includes Andrew Rannells, Bashir Salahuddin, Elizabeth Perkins, Michele Morrone, Alex Newell, Elena Sofia Ricci, Henry Golding, and the formidable Allison Janney.

Written by Jessica Sharzer and Laeta Kalogridis, the script brings fresh layers to the already complex relationship between Stephanie and Emily, exploring themes of identity, power, and deception — all wrapped in high fashion and sharp wit.

The trailer, which has already sparked a frenzy online, gives viewers a first glimpse of what’s to come — cryptic whispers, suspicious glances, and one very stylish but possibly deadly wedding. You can watch it here: Trailer.

As the countdown to May 1 begins, fans of the first film and lovers of mystery alike are in for a wild ride. One thing’s for sure: on the island of Capri, nothing is as perfect as it seems.
