Prime Video is previewing Another Simple Favor starring Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively, which sees the women reprising their roles as Stephanie (Kendrick) and Emily (Lively) for director Paul Feig‘s sequel to his 2018 film A Simple Favor (which earned $53 million at the domestic box office and collected $97 million globally).

Another Simple Favor, set to begin streaming May 1 on Prime Video, also stars Henry Golding, Andrew Rannells, Bashir Salahuddin, Michele Morrone, Elizabeth Perkins and Allison Janney.  Director Feig helmed the movie from a script by Jessica Sharzer and Laeta Kalogridis; Sharzer wrote the screenplay for the original film, which was based on the 2017 novel of the same name by author Darcey Bell.

The trailer for the upcoming film shows Stephanie giving a reading from a book she’s apparently written about the traumatic experience, called The Faceless Blonde’ and later shows Stephanie and Emily taking off for Italy, as Emily prepares to get married.  An official synopsis reads: “along with the glamorous guests, expect murder and betrayal to RSVP for a wedding with more twists and turns than the road from the Marina Grande to the Capri town square.” 

Another Simple Favor premiered at the SXSW Film & TV Festival on March 7, and will land on Prime Video beginning May 1. See the teaser trailer – HERE.
