Paul Feig Explains Why He Made ‘A Simple Favor 2’ After Tending To “Shy Away” From Sequels


After wrapping filming in Spring, 'A Simple Favor 2' director Paul Feig revealed what enticed him to return for the sequel.

The A Simple Favor 2 director recently gave an update on the sequel to his 2018 dark crime comedy starring Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively, which is set during a destination wedding in Capri, Italy, where murder ensues. Although he tends to “shy away” from sequels, Feig explained why he decided to return to the Jessica Sharzer-penned adaptation of Darcey Bell’s 2017 novel A Simple Favor. Along with the glamorous guests, expect murder and betrayal to RSVP for a wedding with more twists and turns than the road from the Marina Grande to the Capri town square.
