Paul Feig Discusses Possible 'Another Simple Favor' Sequel

Paul Feig's sequel, Another Simple Favor, now streaming on Prime Video, continues the story of Stephanie Smothers and Emily Nelson, with Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively reprising their roles. The film explores why Stephanie agrees to get involved with Emily again, primarily due to blackmail, and delves into a plot involving Emily's secret third sister and a series of cons and murders. Significant twists include the revelation of Emily’s long-lost sister Charity and the involvement of various characters in schemes that lead to a higher body count than the original film. The ending leaves several questions unanswered, featuring a dramatic climax and a mysterious cliffhanger that could set up a potential third installment. Feig has commented on alternate script ideas and remains secretive about the film's unresolved elements and the possibility of continuing the story. The sequel also reflects ongoing debates about the viability of comedies in theaters, especially as this film bypassed a theatrical release despite the original's box office success.
