What Time Does Blake Lively's ‘Another Simple Favor' Begin Streaming?
Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick's A Simple Favor sequel Another Simple Favor premieres on streaming this week. Where and what time can you watch the movie at home?
Director Paul Feig, who directed A Simple Favor in 2018, reunites with Lively and Kendrick for Another Simple Favor. The summary for Another Simple Favor reads, 'Stephanie Smothers (Kendrick) and Emily Nelson (Lively) reunite on the beautiful island of Capri, Italy, for Emily's extravagant wedding to a rich Italian businessman.
'Along with the glamorous guests, expect murder and betrayal to RSVP for a wedding with more twists and turns than the road from the Marina Grande to the Capri town square.'
A Simple Favor stars Henry Golding and Andrew Rannells also return for Another Simple Favor, which also stars Allison Janney, Alex Newell, Michele Morrone and Elizabeth Perkins.
Rated R, Another Simple Favor will begin streaming exclusively on Prime Video on Thursday, May 1, at 3 a.m. ET/12 a.m. PT.
Prime Video, of course, is the streaming component of Amazon Prime, which costs $14.99 per month and $139 per year. However, viewers who don't have Amazon Prime can subscribe to Prime Video only for $8.99 per month.
Prime Video is ad-based, but an ad-free component can be added to the service for an extra $2.99 per month.
Despite major success with his films Bridesmaids, Spy and The Heat, Feig has to date resisted making sequels. Another Simple Favor, of course, marks a rare occasion for Feig, but he needed a good reason to make a sequel to A Simple Favor and he found it with the new film's setting.
'I love Capri – my wife and I have been going there for 30 years now. It's such a cinematic place that, forever, I was like 'I gotta shoot something here',' Feig told Esquire UK in an interview published Wednesday. 'I've avoided sequels in the past because I feel like when a movie works, it's the discovery of those characters for the first time that makes it successful.
'You really have to put them in a whole new place [for the sequel] and so we were like 'Well, wait, Capri!'' Feig added. 'Anna's character thinks she's finally mastered seeing everything weird and challenging in the U.S., and then you put her in a completely foreign land with ultra-rich people and the mob – it felt like a good way to go.'
Another Simple Favor begins streaming on Prime Video on Thursday at 3 a.m. ET/12 a.m. PT.

Kody Phillips Takes Us to the Cabaret for Fall/Winter 2025
Summary When you're looking at aKody Phillipscampaign, you know you're looking at a Kody Phillips campaign. It's through these captivating, quick-hitting visuals that the New York City-based label has nabbed a recurring top spot on our social media algorithms, transcending from a locally loved staple into a well-situated menswear outfitter with a growing global presence. The label's campaign for the Fall/Winter 2025 season is no stray away from the storytelling playbook, revelling in its retro-modern design approach and bringing the theatrical flair of the cabaret into a collection entitled 'The Great Show.' Phillips' largest and most ambitious presentation to date, 'The Great Show,' epitomizes the designer's commitment to sharp storytelling – and not, by any means, at the sacrifice of top-tier craftsmanship. Lensed by long-term creative direction collaborator of the brand, Kizzy Kalu, the latest ready-to-wear range is showcased in a lookbook set on a cabaret stage: curtains closed, light fixtures and prop ladders in place. The collection comes complete with both highly anticipated new silhouettes as well as a lineup of reworked signature pieces – the latter including a cleanly crafted Italian leather lasso jacket, finished off withPhillips' signature trim on the edges. For the first time ever, a handful of accessories shine under the spotlight, consisting of pastel pink riding gloves, elevated with all-over pearl detailing, while elsewhere, the coveted Rip Van Kody pants and Mesh Polo top are both revamped in new colorways. Before or after the curtain call, 'The Great Show' glimmers with elegance, asserting the bubbling brand, once again, as a force to be reckoned with in the high fashion zeitgeist. Check out the full collection in the lookbook above, and shop the drop when it lands on the Kody Phillipswebstorethis Friday, August 15.

‘New Panty & Stocking' Just Tackled the Gen Z-Millennial Divide in the Most Absurd Style
Although Prime Video hasn't adequately promoted Studio Trigger's sequel series to the raunchy cult classic New Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt, the show remains one of the funniest anime airing this season. Its latest episode prominently highlights the contentious generational divide between Millennials and Gen Z. In its sixth episode, titled 'The Brothers from Heaven,' the anime slows down its compilation of short stories to present a unified narrative filled with pop culture references throughout its 24-minute runtime. For those keeping track, this is the second time the show has adopted this approach since its premiere, the first instance being the opening episode, which had to resolve a 13-year cliffhanger. Included among the mayhem of the episode is the anime's long-teased introduction of two new angel twin characters joining the this plot-thrusting episode, two new diving troublemakers crash onto the scene: the 'twin twink angels,' Polyester and Polyurethane, played respectively by Junya Enoki (Yuji Itadori from Jujutsu Kaisen) and Yūto Uemura (Thorfinn from Vinland Saga) in Japanese and by Hunter McCoy and Corey Wilder (Zanka Nijiku from Gachiakuta) in English. Teased in the anime's official trailer, their arrival throws the debaucherous angels, Panty and Anarchy, and the disgraced demons, Scanty and Kneesocks, into a chaotic scramble to buy their way back into Heaven and Hell. In the episode, we learn that Polyester and Polyurethane are Panty and Stocking's younger cousins—a familial tie that wastes no time delving into generational warfare. Their introduction, which serendipitously echoes the disruptive flair of KPop Demon Hunter's Saja Boys, threatens the show's entire dynamic with their more high-tech approach, proving to be a precognitive force that makes the girls' demon hunting for coins like Mario characters obsolete. To add even further insult to injury, Polyester and Polyurethane dish out zoomer quips, mislabeling the millennial girlies 'boomers,' using slang ('deadass,' 'no cap,' 'period,' 'sussy'), and calling the girls 'Karens,' among other kitschy TikTok lingo. Not to be outdone, the gender and generational battle throughout the episode has Panty and Stocking firing back with their own insults, representing the millennials in this divide by calling the boys 'iPad kids.' While their comeback may not be as substantial as that of the boys, as the old saying goes, 'brevity is the soul of wit,' so perhaps the girls are onto something with only one diss registering from their side of the aisle. All that said, the episode still has its fun with referential humor. Amid their contest to collect the most coins by slaying demons, the episode also continues the series' signature of pop culture references. Chief among them is a reference to John Carpenter's They Live, which sees the town of Daten City transformed into a horde of bug-eyed creatures, a Good Burger, and The Matrix's infinite armory. The last of which introduces another new character, Gunsmith Bitch, the show's second Black leading cast member. Played by Yoshino Aoyama (Hitori Gotoh in Bocchi the Rock!) in Japanese and Krysta Gonzales (Eddy Ripple in Elemental) in English. Gunsmith Bitch's whole deal is she's a nerd girl who moonlights as an arms dealer. She also has a sexual attraction to guns. She comes in handy for Panty and Stocking when Polyester and Polyurethane's Gen-Z angelic iPad-baby tactics disable the girls' divine weapons. After a glorious angel-demon team-up, the boys are defeated, and the episode sees the girls reign supreme, with their 'uncle Rami' emerging from heaven through a giant hand gag straight out of SpongeBob SquarePants, bringing the boys back to heaven. However, that's probably not the last we'll see of them because the episode's stinger sees their uncle, and Panty and Stocking's father, deliver an edict allowing them to continue running amok for his daughters. With an ending like that, fans can expect more shenanigans from Polyester and Polyurethane when new episodes of New Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt air every Wednesday on Prime Video.

The Boys actor Antony Starr says goodbye to his iconic Supe Homelander in farewell post: "We created a monster... and I will miss him"
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Filming has already wrapped on The Boys season 5 and, now, Antony Starr has found the right time to say goodbye to his iconic Homelander character. In a lengthy post on Instagram, Starr paid tribute to the cast, crew, creator Eric Kripke, and – of course – The Boys' wonderfully twisted fanbase. "This complicated character allowed the space and range to discover and push boundaries in a way I never expected and I will always be grateful for this experience," Starr wrote. "And of course huge gratitude to my co-parent with this twisted gem of a character [Eric Kripke]. We created a monster, sir. And I will miss him, and you. Til we roll out the last season. When I'll see you. But this creative chapter is closed, and I'll miss it, brother." You can read the full post below. Antony Starr's Homelander has been at the centre of some of The Boys' most controversial and shocking moments. Whether it was a unique act of self-love, an obsession with milk, or bumping off some of the Prime Video series' most notable characters, the stars-and-stripes-clad Supe is almost always around to wreak havoc. As of The Boys season 5, the leader of the Seven is firmly embedded in the corridors of Washington as a major figure in the U.S. government. With The Boys either on the run or in captivity, it appears all roads lead to the White House in the final season. Before then, Gen V season 2 is premiering on September 17.
