In the teaser of one minute 38 seconds, we see that Another Simple Favour takes place after the events of the first film, and will follow Stephanie Smothers (Kendrick) and Emily Nelson (Lively) as they reunite on the Italian island of Capri for Emily’s lavish wedding to a wealthy businessman, played by Michele Morrone. However, the event takes a dark turn, with “murder and betrayal” set to unfold.
The film is directed by Paul Feig, who also helmed A Simple Favour, the first installment in the series.

Anna Kendrick was most recently seen in Woman of the Hour, which was also directed by her. Blake, on the other hand, was last seen in It Ends With Us, opposite Justin Baldoni and Brandon Sklenar.
Stephanie (Anna Kendrick) has written a book on all the incidents that took place with her mysterious friend (Emily played by Blake Lively), in the first part. The revenge plot is about to get all the more intense, as Emily invites Stephanie to her wedding.
When Stephanie feels suspicious about Emily’s return and the intentions she has on her mind, Emily asks her, “Do you think I invited you to get revenge? For stealing my life and taking my kid away from me.”
Henry Golding, Andrew Rannells, Bashir Salahuddin, Joshua Satine, Ian Ho, and Kelly McCormack, are all reprising their roles in the sequel.
The excitement around Another Simple Favour is quite high, the first part received a positive response with Blake’s sinister onscreen personality leaving the audience impressed.
Currently in post production, Another Simple Favour arrives on May 1 on Prime Video.
