A Simple Favor 2 is here, in spite of everything, and now I can die satisfied.
Well, drama aside, when A Simple Favor came out in 2018, I knew for a fact that this movie would be my go-to for years to come, and that’s what happened, because I’ve recommended this movie to just about everyone. and every user I can. . .
We now know that A Simple Favor 2 is screening and happening, and while it probably won’t be on any movie schedules for 2024, we know at least a decent amount. Who will play the main role? And what is this new movie about? This is what we know so far.
At the time of the update in July 2024, there was no set release date for A Simple Favor 2, which is rarely that surprising. Amazon Prime officially announced the film in March 2024. However, we may be able to release it on a release schedule for 2025.
This year is already full of upcoming movies, from the highly anticipated Deadpool
This means that 2025 could be a wonderful release date for A Simple Favor 2, and yes, I will be.
Several cast members are shown to be returning for Amazon Studios’ A Simple Favor 2. Let’s move on to the full lineup below:
As shown when the film was first previewed, Blake Lively, best known for starring in the cast of Gossip Girl, several wonderful films, and her adorable friendship with Taylor Swift, returns as Emily Nelson in A Simple Favor 2.
Anna Kendrick, who has appeared in films such as the Pitch Perfect franchise, Noelle, and many more, will return as Stephanie Smothers.
Henry Golding, who has appeared in films such as Crazy Rich Asians, Last Christmas, The Gentleman and Snake Eyes, will return as Sean Townsend.
Andrew Rannells, known for his presence on stage and in several television shows including The New Normal and Girls, will return as Darren in A Simple Favor 2.
Bashir Salahuddin, who has had roles in Miller’s Girl, Family Switch, Cyrano, etc. , as well as the TV series The Dropout, will return as Detective Summerville.
Joshua Satine has appeared in The Watcher, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and Hunters, but will return as Miles Smothers in A Simple Favor 2.
Ian Ho is a young actor who has appeared in several children’s series and other shows, such as Goosebumps and Kung Fu, but will now return as Nicky Townsend-Nelson in Simple Favor 2.
Kelly McCormack, known for her roles in Killjoy and Letterkenny, will return as Stacy.
Confirmed until the end of March 2024, Aparna Nancherla, known for her roles in BoJack Horseman and Corporate, will return as Sona.
While we have a lot of cast members backing up, let’s talk about the new ones as well. In the Deadline article where Nancherla’s return was confirmed, several new cast members were also confirmed. Are:
Variety has revealed that comedy veteran Allison Janney, who has appeared in films such as I, Tonya, American Beauty, Spy, Bad Education, and more, will play a role in Simple Favor 2.
Deadline has shown that Elena Sofia Ricci, who has basically given the impression in Italian films, such as Superheroes, Parrot and more. She will appear in A Simple Favor 2.
Michele Morrone, known for her role in the Netflix 365 Days trilogy. she is shown to appear in the sequel.
Elizabeth Perkins, who has played Weeds for several years and has also appeared in films such as About Last Night, Hop, and many others, will also appear in A Simple Favor 2.
Alex Newell, known for his roles in the cast of Glee and Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist, where they sang to death, will appear in A Simple Favor 2, showcasing more of his comedic prowess.
Taylor Ortega, who played roles in Welcome to Flatch and Party Down, will appear in A Simple Favor 2.
Lorenzo de Moor, an Italian actor who has appeared in several foreign films such as Robbing Mussolini, appears in A Simple Favor 2.
None of their roles have been revealed lately, but with something like that, I have a feeling that A Simple Favor 2 is going to bring us down.
If you’re wondering what A Simple Favor 2 is going to be about, Amazon Prime has given us an idea. A Simple Favor 2 will take us to Italy, where Emily is going to marry an Italian businessman. But, of course, “murder and betrayal” will occupy a vital place in this marriage, with several “twists and turns” that will make us lose our balance.
I will say it’s a little bit contemplating the end of the movie when I saw Emily in prison, so I don’t know how she marries an Italian businessman. But if someone could make it work, I think Emily would be the right user to do it.
Henry Golding even commented on the upcoming film in an interview with Entertainment Tonight in April 2024, that the film “turned up the dial” when it came to hilarity and that Feig (the director) brought back what enthusiasts enjoyed about filming it. First of all:
Paul [Feig] goes all out and brings the enthusiasts what they enjoyed so much in the first one. Only hilarity and all the absurdity of the situation.
Ugh, can we still have this movie please?
Amazon Prime also showed that Paul Feig will return to direct A Simple Favor 2. The director has produced projects such as Last Christmas, 2016’s Ghostbusters and Bridesmaids, where we had the funny cast of Bridesmaids.
It has also been shown that Jessica Sharzer will reteam with Feig to rewrite the script for this sequel, so we will have a family collaboration.
Feig spoke about creating the sequel in an interview with Variety in May 2024, as it was the first sequel the director had made and he was literally looking to revisit the characters but make sure the script was the best before do it. . :
That’s a lot because, besides, if you take a look at my work, I’ve never done a sequel before just for that reason. I tried to stay away, but in this one, I just enjoyed those characters and the idea that we could revisit them. . . . We threw away the original draft that was going to be made. We thought, “As much as we like what we have here, we don’t think it’s what the other people who really liked the first movie will need one hundred percent. We’ve been running with it for two and a half years. “almost 3 years, to extend it and do it well.
As someone who has been waiting for this sequel for years, I can’t wait to see what they have and how fun it will probably be.
While A Simple Favor was released in theaters, A Simple Favor 2 will be broadcast directly on Amazon Prime, in 240 countries. We don’t know why the transfer to streaming happened, but at least we will be able to see it. as soon as it is released.
The last thing we know is that A Simple Favor 2 is that filming has already ended. The deadline showed that the cameras were about to start filming, but the Daily Mail spotted the cast and crew in April 2024. However, Paul Feig appeared on his Instagram in May 2024 that completes the shoot:
