Murder and betrayal are back in play as frenemies Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick reunite for an extravagant wedding in Capri, Italy in the trailer for Another Simple Favor, director Paul Feig’s sequel that dropped on Monday.

That’s after Emily went to jail at the end ofA Simple Favor, and Stephanie, moonlighting as a private detective,helped put her there.
