Partial character poster for “Another Simple Favor” featuring Blake Lively.
Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick’s A Simple Favor sequel Another Simple Favor premieres on streaming this week. Where and what time can you watch the movie at home?
Director Paul Feig, who directed A Simple Favor in 2018, reunites with Lively and Kendrick for Another Simple Favor. The summary for Another Simple Favor reads, “Stephanie Smothers (Kendrick) and Emily Nelson (Lively) reunite on the beautiful island of Capri, Italy, for Emily’s extravagant wedding to a rich Italian businessman.
“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.”
A Simple Favor stars Henry Golding and Andrew Rannells also return for Another Simple Favor, which also stars Allison Janney, Alex Newell, Michele Morrone and Elizabeth Perkins.
Rated R, Another Simple Favor will begin streaming exclusively on Prime Video on Thursday, May 1, at 3 a.m. ET/12 a.m. PT.
Prime Video, of course, is the streaming component of Amazon Prime, which costs $14.99 per month and $139 per year. However, viewers who don’t have Amazon Prime can subscribe to Prime Video only for $8.99 per month.
Prime Video is ad-based, but an ad-free component can be added to the service for an extra $2.99 per month.
‘Another Simple Favor’ Marks Rare Occasion For Paul Feig
Despite major success with his films Bridesmaids, Spy and The Heat, Feig has to date resisted making sequels. Another Simple Favor, of course, marks a rare occasion for Feig, but he needed a good reason to make a sequel to A Simple Favor and he found it with the new film’s setting.
“I love Capri – my wife and I have been going there for 30 years now. It’s such a cinematic place that, forever, I was like ‘I gotta shoot something here’,” Feig told Esquire UK in an interview published Wednesday. “I’ve avoided sequels in the past because I feel like when a movie works, it’s the discovery of those characters for the first time that makes it successful.
“You really have to put them in a whole new place [for the sequel] and so we were like ‘Well, wait, Capri!’” Feig added. “Anna’s character thinks she’s finally mastered seeing everything weird and challenging in the U.S., and then you put her in a completely foreign land with ultra-rich people and the mob – it felt like a good way to go.”
Another Simple Favor begins streaming on Prime Video on Thursday at 3 a.m. ET/12 a.m. PT.
