Captain LagbeardBecause one psychotic bestie wasn’t enough, here’s a sequel!
If you thought Blake Lively’s Emily Nelson was done faking her death, committing fraud, and looking obnoxiously stylish while doing it—think again.
The new trailer for Another Simple Favor just dropped, and surprise! Emily’s back, Stephanie (Anna Kendrick) is still being manipulated, and someone’s definitely getting murdered.
Emily Is Getting Married. Thoughts and Prayers for the Groom.
Because nothing says “I’ve changed” like inviting the people you tried to kill to your wedding, Emily Nelson is tying the knot.
This time, the ceremony is set in Capri, Italy—because let’s be honest, a woman like Emily wasn’t about to settle for a basic wedding at the Hilton.
Stephanie, who somehow still has not learned how to say “no” to Emily, is attending as the maid of honor.
Which makes sense, because every wedding needs:
✔ A stressed-out, easily manipulated best friend
✔ A groom who may or may not survive the honeymoon
✔ A bride who has a literal track record of attempted murder
So, naturally, we expect this wedding to go smoothly with absolutely no criminal activity whatsoever. Right?
Spoiler Alert: Absolutely not.
Things Start Getting Weird… FAST
The trailer wastes no time showing us that Emily is very much up to something. A few clues:
👀 Stephanie finds a secret room in Emily’s villa full of fake passports (because normal people definitely have those).
💥 There’s an explosion during the wedding—because Emily doesn’t just say, “I don’t” like the rest of us.
🔪 Someone gets stabbed. And honestly? If you’ve ever planned a wedding, you know how stressful things can get.
It’s basically The White Lotus meets Gone Girl—but with 500% more designer outfits and witty one-liners.
Stephanie’s Career Is Thriving… Her Survival? TBD.
Since we last saw her, Stephanie has turned her traumatic experience into a bestselling book called The Faceless Blonde (because nothing says “self-care” like monetizing your near-death experience).
But just when she thinks her life is normal, Emily swoops back in like the world’s most fashionable hurricane.
And like any good author, Stephanie decides that getting involved in Emily’s latest crime spree will probably make for a great sequel.
Someone give this woman a raise. Or a restraining order.
So, Who’s Actually Dying This Time?
Let’s be real—somebody isn’t making it out of this movie alive. Our top predictions:
🔹 The Groom—Marrying Emily Nelson is basically a death sentence.
🔹 Stephanie—If she still trusts Emily after all this, she might just deserve it.
🔹 Literally Everyone in Capri—Because Emily doesn’t do small-scale drama.
Of course, Emily could be the one to die… but let’s be honest, she’d fake her death again just for the aesthetic.

Final Thoughts: This Woman Needs to Be Stopped (But Also, Never Stop)
Emily Nelson is back, still terrifying, and still somehow making us root for her. Will she finally get caught? Will Stephanie ever learn her lesson?
Or is this just the start of a multi-movie franchise where Emily fakes her death in different countries like some sort of psychotic travel influencer?
Either way, I’m watching. And you should too.
