Paul Feig Confirms 'A Simple Favor 2' Is Complete and On Track for Release

The director debunks rumors of delays tied to Blake Lively's legal battles and alleged tensions with Anna Kendrick, affirming the sequel's progress.

Paul Feig, director of 'A Simple Favor 2,' has denied online rumors that the sequel has been shelved, calling the claims 'total BS.'
The film completed shooting in April 2024 and is currently in post-production, with a release planned for spring or summer 2025.
Feig clarified that the lack of a release date is due to standard post-production timelines and studio scheduling, not external controversies.
Blake Lively has been embroiled in legal disputes with 'It Ends With Us' co-star Justin Baldoni, including allegations of sexual harassment and a smear campaign, which Baldoni has denied.
Feig praised both Lively and Anna Kendrick for their performances in the sequel, which will see their characters navigate new twists and challenges.
