Another Simple Favor is gearing up for its OTT release. Sequel to A Simple Favor, it has Anna Kendrick, Blake Lively, Henry Golding, Andrew Rannells, Bashir Salahuddin, Joshua Satine, and Ian Ho reprising their roles from the 2018 movie. Michele Morrone of 365 Days fame, Elena Sofia Ricci, Elizabeth Perkins, Alex Newell, and Allison Janney complete the cast. Here's more on the upcoming black comedy mystery.
Another Simple Favor: What Does The Trailer Show?
Ahead of its OTT premiere on May 1, the makers of Another Simple Favor released its first trailer. Lasting 2:28 minutes, the promotional clip gave a glimpse into what the black comedy mystery film will offer us. And from the looks of it, we can more or less conclude that Another Simple Favor will retain the thrill and flavour of A Simple Favor.
The trailer for Another Simple Favor starts with Emily Nelson (Lively) entering a classroom-like area where her old friend-turned-nemesis Stephanie Smothers can be seen addressing a bunch of young people probably about her book. The interruption has a lot of tension since five years back, Stephanie sent Emily to jail and there's a huge possibility that she has returned to avenge that.
When Stephanie asks Emily the purpose of her visit, she informs her of her impending wedding to Italian businessman Dante Versano (Morrone) in Capri, Italy, and asks if she can be the maid of honour. Stephanie understands from the beginning that Emily didn't invite her because of their past friendship. There's a larger conspiracy but she still relents to quench her curiosity. And the eventual frames imply the same.

The antagonistic attitude of Sean Townsend, Emily’s ex-husband, towards the "farce" of a wedding is reflected in the entirety of the trailer through every character aware of her past. Only Versano's family has probably no knowledge about the swindler of a woman Emily is.
The wedding is extravagant, and the views are breathtaking, but a murder transpires, leaving the attendees, except Stephanie shell-shocked. A sequence where Lively's wedding gown tail is smeared with what looks like blood is striking and particularly stands out.
Stephanie is on the hunt and wants to know what's happening because she is cognizant of the lengths Emily can go to get her job done and also of the previous bad blood between them.
What happens next will only be revealed once Another Simple Favor releases next month.
