Another Simple Favor Scheduled for May 2025 Release

Blake Lively reprises her role as Emily Nelson in 'Another Simple Favor,' now streaming on Prime Video, with Anna Kendrick returning as Stephanie Smothers. Director Paul Feig and Lively herself have both emphasized how different Lively is from her manipulative on-screen persona, describing her as a 'very sweet' and devoted mother who transforms into Emily's 'tiger' character when filming. The sequel picks up five years after Emily's imprisonment, with the plot centering on her lavish wedding in Capri and a new round of mysteries involving Stephanie. Lively has called Emily her favorite character and teased viewers that the film will subvert expectations with its unpredictable twists. Feig has also highlighted the strong chemistry between Lively and Kendrick, attributing much of the film's appeal to their dynamic performances. Rumors that legal drama from Lively's other project, 'It Ends With Us,' disrupted the sequel's release have been dispelled, and Feig has publicly defended Lively against such claims.
