Another Simple Favor represents a 2025 American black comedy mystery motion picture helmed by Paul Feig and adapted for the screen by Jessica Sharzer and Laeta Kalogridis. This production serves as a follow-up to A Simple Favor (2018), itself derived from the 2017 literary work authored by Darcey Bell. Anna Kendrick, Blake Lively, Henry Golding, Andrew Rannells, Bashir Salahuddin, Kelly McCormack, Joshua Satine, and Ian Ho return to their respective parts from the initial installment, alongside newcomers Michele Morrone, Elena Sofia Ricci, Alex Newell, and Allison Janney, with Elizabeth Perkins substituting for Jean Smart.

Announcements regarding the project's creation occurred in 2022 through Lionsgate in collaboration with Amazon MGM Studios, featuring Feig's return as director and confirming Kendrick and Lively's participation. Principal photography commenced in 2024, coinciding with the disclosure that the movie would debut on Amazon Prime Video, although the original film opened in cinemas. Cinematography occurred from March through May 2024 across locations including Capri and the Villa Adriana, situated within Italy.

The film made its debut at the South by Southwest Festival on March 7, 2025, followed by an Amazon Prime Video release on May 1. Critical reception proved divisive.
