The Another Simple Favor trailer has arrived—and it’s serving couture, chaos, and killer chemistry. Reuniting Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively, the sequel takes us to Capri, where secrets simmer under the Mediterranean sun. Social media is buzzing with excitement over the tension, the fashion, and that iconic maid-of-honor twist. With murder on the menu and sapphic vibes cranked to eleven, fans are wondering: will we see a kiss, a kill, or both? RSVP yes—this one is set to premiere May 1, 2025, on Prime Video.
Revisiting the Twisted Charm of A Simple Favor
Back in 2018, A Simple Favor hit the big screen with a wild ride of mystery, martinis, and dark humor. The original, based on Darcey Bell’s novel, saw Anna Kendrick as the perky mommy-vlogger-turned-sleuth, Stephanie Smothers, and Blake Lively as the enigmatic femme fatale, Emily Nelson. After Emily faked her death and landed in prison, you’d think that would be the end. But in Another Simple Favor, the chaos is far from over.
The action picks up in glamorous Capri, Italy, where Emily is getting married again—and she wants Stephanie as her maid of honor once more. Couture, cryptic motives, and criminal antics ramp up the drama. Premiering globally on Prime Video, this sequel isn’t just A Simple Favor 2—it’s the Godfather: Part II of girlboss crime comedies, according to director Paul Feig.
Trailer Breakdown
The trailer for Another Simple Favor wastes no time reintroducing us to the wild world of Stephanie Smothers (Anna Kendrick) and Emily Nelson (Blake Lively). Set against the sun-soaked cliffs of Capri, the teaser opens with explosions, shady dealings, and jaw-dropping couture. It’s an opulent wedding with a twist—and not the kind you’d want for your big day.
Stephanie, now a published author, is reading from her book when Emily reappears—fresh out of prison and looking as unbothered as ever.
“Emily!” Stephanie gasps. “How are you here?”
“I’m getting married,” Emily responds with a sly smirk. “Will you be my maid of honor? Did I mention it’s in Capri?”
From there, it’s all high fashion and higher tension. Emily’s signature power suits return, and Stephanie’s wide-eyed optimism is clearly no match for the wealthy, dangerous crowd. There are yacht parties, slow-motion catwalks, a bloody hand, and—of course—at least one murder.
And the sapphic tension? Oh, it’s still sizzling. The trailer hints at moments between Emily and Stephanie that leave us wondering: are they going to kiss… or kill each other?
Cast & Crew Details
Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively are back in action, bringing the same fiery chemistry to the table after seven years, a prison stint, and a boatload of unresolved tension. This time, it’s under the sun in Capri for Emily’s (suspiciously glamorous) wedding.
Joining the returning duo is a fresh, eclectic ensemble featuring Henry Golding, Andrew Rannells, Michele Morrone, and the legendary Allison Janney is here too—because no dramatic cocktail party is complete without her.
Paul Feig, who directed the first film, is back in the chair, promising a sequel that’s part mob drama, part assassination thriller, and 100% unhinged. Feig joked in an interview, “I was like, maybe we can make Godfather Part II and not Speed 2.” We like his thinking.
Sapphic Energy & Tailored Menswear
Behind the scenes buzz? Word on the cobbled streets of Capri is that the chemistry between Kendrick and Lively is turned up to eleven. One pivotal moment in the trailer—Emily’s surprise proposal to Stephanie to be her maid of honor—has already sent fans into a frenzy.
Oh, and Emily’s back in tailored menswear.
Another Simple Favor Drops May 1, 2025
Get ready, because Another Simple Favor is set to premiere on May 1, 2025, globally on Prime Video. The film had its world premiere as the Opening Night selection at the 2025 SXSW Film & TV Festival, setting the tone for what promises to be a glamorously unhinged return to the Emily-Stephanie saga.
Director Paul Feig calls this his “Godfather Part II” moment—and after watching the trailer, it’s clear: the stakes are higher, the couture is louder, and the chaos is cranked up to eleven.
This time, Emily’s back in Capri for her high-society wedding—and Stephanie is once again roped into the madness as her maid of honor. Explosions, a mysterious corpse, and more double-crossing than a mafia family reunion await. Will they kiss? Will they kill? Who knows—but it’s sure to be a wild ride.
Another Simple Favor, Blake Lively – A Must-See
If Another Simple Favor isn’t already on your watchlist, it should be. With Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively stepping back into their dangerously delicious roles, this sequel promises to top its predecessor—more couture, more chaos, and yes, more sapphic tension.
Set against the sun-soaked backdrop of Capri, Italy, this isn’t just a reunion; it’s a high-stakes game of cat and mouse, dressed in designer threads. Director Paul Feig has gone all in, blending mob drama, mystery, and comedy into a blood-stained silk bow.
The trailer alone gives us everything we loved about the first film—shocking twists, stylish power moves, and the magnetic chemistry between Stephanie and Emily. And while the murder-mystery setup is wild, it’s their complicated, intoxicating relationship that hooks us. Will they kiss? Will they kill? Or do both while zooming through the winding streets of Capri?
We don’t know. But we’re here for it.
