A sequel to director Paul Feig’s 2018 film A Simple Favor, the upcoming movie will be released internationally on Prime Video on May 1.

The film is Lively’s first project to release amid new developments in the Justin Baldoni case and fresh allegations leveled against her by the It Ends With Us director.

In December 2024, Lively accused Baldoni of sexual misconduct during the shoot of It Ends With Us and running a smear campaign against her later. Baldoni, who denied the allegations, filed a lawsuit against Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds, accusing the couple of using their influence to take control over the shooting for the film and making last-minute changes to the script.

Another Simple Favor is set to premiere on May 1.
