Director Paul Feig Discusses Plans for More ‘A Simple Favor’ Films

Acclaimed director Paul Feig, known for his work on films like “Bridesmaids” and “Spy,” is excited about the potential for more sequels in the ‘A Simple Favor’ series. In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, Feig revealed that he has some “weirder” ideas for where the story could go in future installments of the popular franchise. The latest film in the series, “Another Simple Favor,” premiered recently and has left fans eager for more.

The sequel, which debuted on May 1, continues the story of the enigmatic characters portrayed by Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick. Feig shared that he already has a vision for a potential third film in the series, stating, “I definitely know where I want it to go.” The director expressed his enthusiasm for the possibility of collaborating with the cast once again and taking the characters on even more bizarre adventures, potentially on an international scale.

Feig hinted at the prospect of expanding the storyline beyond its current setting, suggesting that future films could explore new and exciting locations around the world. The shift from small-town Connecticut to the picturesque island of Capri, Italy in “Another Simple Favor” has set the stage for even more thrilling escapades in subsequent movies.

The success of the ‘A Simple Favor’ films can be attributed in part to the incredible chemistry between the two leading ladies, Kendrick and Lively. Feig praised their performances, highlighting their ability to bring depth and nuance to their respective roles, even as the plotlines become increasingly intricate and unpredictable.

The original film, “A Simple Favor,” which premiered in 2018, was based on a novel by Darcey Bell. The screenwriters for the sequel are Jessica Sharzer and Laeta Kalogridis, the latter of whom expressed her eagerness to continue exploring the characters and their evolving narratives. Feig’s strategic approach and creative vision have set the stage for a potential third installment that promises to captivate audiences once again.

As fans eagerly await further developments in the ‘A Simple Favor’ series, the success of “Another Simple Favor” on Prime Video has solidified the franchise’s popularity. Feig’s commitment to delivering fresh and entertaining content, coupled with the stellar performances of Kendrick and Lively, bodes well for the future of the series.

With plans for more ‘A Simple Favor’ films already in the works, audiences can look forward to even more thrilling twists and turns in the lives of Emily and Stephanie. As Feig continues to push the boundaries of storytelling and creativity, the possibilities for the franchise appear endless, promising fans a cinematic experience like no other.
