Will There Be ‘A Simple Favor 3’? Here’s What We Know So Far
Fans of Another Simple Favor, now streaming on Amazon Prime Video, are already asking the big question: Will there be A Simple Favor 3? The ending of the latest film leaves plenty of room for a third movie. And honestly, who wouldn’t want to see Blake Lively back in more eye-catching outfits?
The sequel, Another Simple Favor, was directed by Paul Feig and written by Jessica Sharzer and Laeta Kalogridis. It continues the story from the 2018 hit A Simple Favor. Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick return to their roles as Emily and Stephanie, two moms with a complicated history. In the first movie, we saw mommy vlogger Stephanie (Kendrick) uncover Emily’s (Lively) dark secrets. In the sequel, Emily returns unexpectedly. Is it for revenge? That part is still a bit of a mystery.
Is A Simple Favor 3 Happening?
As of now, there’s no official confirmation for a third Simple Favor movie. But the ending of Another Simple Favor gives a clear hint that the story could continue. In the final scene, Emily receives an envelope from her new mother-in-law, who asks her for “a simple favor.” It feels like the setup for a brand new adventure, much like a superhero movie tease.
Director Paul Feig confirmed that they left the ending open on purpose. In an interview with Decider, he said, “We definitely set it up so the story can continue… Who knows? We’ll see how the movie does and all that.”
So while Amazon hasn’t given the green light yet, it sounds like a third movie is definitely possible, especially if the current one performs well.
Will Paul Feig Return to Direct?
Feig seems very willing to return for a third film. When asked, he said, “I’m very open to it. Working with those two wonderful women is just the greatest.” His love for the cast and the story makes it likely that he’d be part of a third chapter, if it happens.
Is There a Release Date for A Simple Favor 3?
There’s no release date yet because the movie hasn’t been officially confirmed. If it does get the go-ahead, we probably won’t see it for a while. Another Simple Favor took about three years to make due to delays, including the writers’ and actors’ strike. That means A Simple Favor 3 could arrive sometime in late 2026 or early 2027.
What to Expect From A Simple Favor 3?
While nothing is confirmed, the ending of Another Simple Favor hints at an exciting new storyline. Emily might be stepping into the world of organized crime. Her new mother-in-law, Portia, whose son was a mobster, seems ready to bring Emily into the family business. Could Emily become the next big mafia boss?
Paul Feig finds the idea interesting, especially when it comes to Emily’s style. “The thought of what Emily looks like as she possibly works for the mob is very exciting to me,” he said. “Because all the mob to me means is: You’ve got a lot of money!”
While there’s no official word on A Simple Favor 3 yet, there’s strong hope among fans, and even from the director. If the latest movie is a hit on Prime Video, we might just get another thrilling, stylish adventure featuring Emily and Stephanie.
