The movie was confirmed two years ago, but it has only just been greenlit by Amazon MGM Studios.
Two years ago, it was revealed that A Simple Favour would be getting a sequel and that Blake Lively, Anna Kendrick, Henry Golding, Andrew Rannells, Bashir Salahuddin, Joshua Satine, Ian Ho, and Kelly McCormack would all be reprising their roles while Paul Feig directed again. However, at that time, the movie was actually not fully greenlit, meaning while the cast were ready to return, production giant Amazon MGM Studios had yet to decide if it was going to bankroll the project.
