Looks like a sequel to "A Simple Request" with Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick will finally take place! Here's everything we know about A Simple Request 2, with an estimated release date and trailer in 2021.
About the plot

When Emily disappears after telling Stephanie to look after her son, Stephanie decides to investigate her friend's disappearance.
Production
Director - Paul Feig (My Name Is David, The Spy, What You Do, Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Last Thrust, Exactly at 3 o'clock).
There's a real buzz going on on Twitter. In a thread related to a Mel Magazine article, author Joseph Longo tagged Fig and asked when we would receive "Simple Request 2". And Fig replied that he was working on it!
Quoting a retweet from Paul Fig's response, Forbes author Scott Mendelssohn said he clearly sees the sequel as perfect for Hulu or Prime. Feig responded to that as well, saying that he already had an idea for the film and "would be happy to do it for any studio or streamer who wants a film."
Of course, this may be just a guess, but as the popularity of the film grows, it may happen that some studio or streamer does acquire the rights. P. Fig, for his part, is happy to develop this issue on social media.
“In many ways, this is my favorite film I've ever made,” Feig said in an article from Decider, where he also mentioned that he constantly wants more and more people to watch the film in any way possible. Also, despite the short notice, Feig is set to appear on the podcast.

No data yet. But Blake Lively (Age of Adaline, Elvis and Annabelle, City of Thieves, New York, I Love You) and Anna Kendrick (Patrol, Life Is Beautiful) will probably play the main characters again. "Reckoning", "Up in the Sky", "Scott Pilgrim Against All").
