Although the sequel was initially announced in May 2022, it wasn’t until March 2024 that Amazon MGM Studio officially gave the green light for the film to proceed
‘A Simple Favor 2′ Release Date’
Filming for the sequel reportedly begins in the spring of 2024. It it not currently clear when it will reach theaters, but Amazon Prime is planning a streaming release in more than 200 countries.

What Have Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively Said About the Sequel?
After the sequel was confirmed in May 2022, Anna expressed her excitement to rejoin the mysterious world between Stephanie and Emily.
“I can’t wait to revisit the hilarious, deeply dark inner world of Stephanie Smothers, and reunite Stephanie and Emily under the watchful and stylish eye of the glorious [director] Paul Feig,” Anna told Entertainment Weekly at the time.
What Happened at the End of ‘A Simple Favor’?
At the end of the original 2018 movie, Stephanie and Emily were upset over Sean’s relationship with both of them. They both got him arrested, but Stephanie changed her mind, so she and Sean staged a fake argument to frame Emily. Emily, though, anticipated the trick and disabled their microphones, shooting Sean in the shoulder. Upon turning the gun to shoot Stephanie, Stephanie reveals that she had been live-streaming the entire moment, leading Emily to make a run for it.
Emily is arrested and sentenced to 20 years in prison, where she wins a basketball game against other inmates; Sean releases his next book, which becomes a hit, and Stephanie ends up dating a man from the city and works part-time as a private detective while her vlog becomes a TV show after hitting one million followers.
