The sequel will see Stephanie Smothers (Kendrick) and Emily Nelson (Lively) jetting off to the beautiful Italian island of Capri for Emily’s lavish wedding to a rich Italian businessman. This film is bringing many twists and turns our way, with murder and betrayal also on the wedding menu for everyone who RSVPs.

In addition to Kendrick and Lively in the lead roles, A Simple Favor 2 will also mark the return of Henry Golding, Andrew Rannells, Bashir Salahuddin, Joshua Satine, Ian Ho, and Kelly McCormack.

A Simple Favor originally came out in 2018, and it drew inspiration from Darcey Bell’s book about a small-town woman trying to solve the disappearance of her elegant, rich friend. The film was a major success for Lionsgate, grossing $97 million worldwide on a $20 million budget.

Paul Feig is returning to direct the sequel, written by Jessica Sharzer, with revisions by Laeta Kalogridis and Feig. The production will kick off this spring, and Amazon MGM is yet to set the streaming release date on Prime Video.

Based on a Black List script by Ian MacAllister McDonald, this film draws inspiration from one of the most mind-blowing plot twists from the popular matchmaking TV show The Dating Game. Contestant Cheryl Bradshaw thought she found the love of her life in the funny and charming Rodney Alcala, until it turned out he was secretly a serial killer.

Kendrick said she decided to jump on board as a director because she felt connected to the story, the tone, and the themes around gender and intimacy that this film explores.

“I’ve loved this script from the moment I read it… The support I’ve received already from Stuart Ford and everyone at AGC, Vertigo, and BoulderLight has been inspiring and empowering,” said the Pitch Perfect star in an official statement.

Stuart Ford’s AGC Studios is fully funding and co-producing the project, with Kendrick serving as one of the producers. He said it makes absolute sense for her to step behind the camera because she has an innate feeling for the characters and the tone of the film.
