Kendrick and Lively are reprising their roles as Stephanie Smothers and Emily Nelson, respectively, in “Another Simple Favor,” a sequel to 2018 dark comedy “ A Simple Favor .” The new film also stars Henry Golding, Allison Janney and Andrew Rannells.

Feig, Kendrick, and Lively attended the premiere of the Simple Favor sequel at the 2025 SXSW Film & TV Festival on Friday. Following the event, one YouTuber shared a selfie of the cast and crew — which included Kendrick and Lively — and claimed the film’s leads were not getting along.
