Paul Feig Does A Simple Favor By Confirming Sequel’s Coming Soon

by

What a surprise! The team that created the entertaining and suspenseful movie “A Simple Favor” from 2018 is preparing for a sequel. In this movie, Anna Kendrick, Blake Lively, and Henry Golding took on roles. Kendrick played a mommy blogger who delved into the mystery of her missing friend and fellow mom, Lively. Golding portrayed the husband, but romantic tension was present between all characters, so let’s not get too caught up in labels. The movie could have signaled the martini’s comeback as a trendy drink, though this is debatable. However, the question of when the film will be released has been somewhat answered, thanks to director Paul Feig.

A simple announcement

On May 11, 2022: Deadline reveals that Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively are set to return for their roles, with Paul Feig directing from a script by Jessica Sharzer. Further details are scarce, but there’s plenty of room for speculation. We can guess that Blake Lively might don several suits. The film may take a turn towards the risqué and absurd. Things might not be as they seem.

A more complicated answer

2025-01-11: Director Paul Feig has put an end to the speculation, confirming that A Simple Favor 2 is indeed on its way! Contrary to a recent claim suggesting the film had been indefinitely postponed, Feig dismissed it as “completely false.” He explained that while the movie is now completed, its release date hasn’t been finalized yet. This is because studios typically decide on the best time to launch a film after a year of planning. As previously planned, expect A Simple Favor 2 in the spring or summer of this year. So, let’s stock up on martinis!
