Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick are back together on screen in the much-awaited sequel Another Simple Favor, which just dropped on streaming platforms. Fans on social media are already calling it a crazy, stylish, and entertaining ride that lives up to the original movie.
A Look Back at the First Film
The original film, A Simple Favor, was released six years ago and was directed by Paul Feig. It introduced us to two very different women—Stephanie Smothers (played by Anna Kendrick), a cheerful single mom and vlogger, and Emily Nelson (played by Blake Lively), a mysterious and stylish woman with a dark past. Their unexpected friendship took a dark turn when Emily suddenly disappeared, leading Stephanie to dig deeper into her new friend’s secrets. The film was a hit thanks to its mix of mystery, comedy, and surprising twists.
What Happens in the Sequel?
Now, in Another Simple Favor, Emily is back! After serving 20 years in prison, she reaches out to Stephanie and asks her to be her maid of honor. This shocking reunion kicks off another wild adventure filled with secrets, lies, and plenty of surprises. The film keeps the dark humor and stylish flair of the first one, with even more twists and turns along the way.
Fans React: “Deliciously Insane!”
As soon as the sequel hit OTT platforms, fans were quick to watch and share their thoughts online. According to Twitter reviews, viewers are loving the chemistry between Kendrick and Lively once again.

Besides the thrilling plot and humor, fans are also praising the costumes and performances. One viewer shared, “Blake Lively & Anna Kendrick sell every twist & turn #AnotherSimpleFavor offers with their intoxicating dynamic. It tries to outdo the original with varying degrees of success but captures its spirit. Unreal costuming that I wish could be seen in theaters. Imperfect fun.”
The stylish outfits, especially those worn by Blake Lively, are getting a lot of love online just like in the first film. Paul Feig is known for giving his characters a strong fashion sense, and he delivers again in this sequel.
Another Simple Favor: Will There Be a Third Film?
There are rumors that a third movie might be in the works, especially with the success and positive response from fans. However, there’s no official word from the filmmakers yet. But given how much viewers are enjoying the sequel, there’s definitely interest in seeing where Stephanie and Emily’s story goes next.
