If you enjoyed the 2018 dark comedy mystery A SIMPLE FAVOR, you’re in for a treat with its chic sequel, ANOTHER SIMPLE FAVOR. This 2025 follow-up, directed once again by Paul Feig, brings Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively back together to play Stephanie Smothers and Emily Nelson, respectively.
The 2018 movie A SIMPLE FAVOR was primarily filmed in and around Toronto, Ontario, Canada. But where exactly was ANOTHER SIMPLE FAVOR filmed? Here’s a detailed look at the incredible locations that brought the sequel to life, from coastal luxury in Italy to sleek studio work in Canada.
CAPRI, ITALY – THE STUNNING CENTERPIECE

Capri, an island known for its cliffside views, deep-blue waters, and old-world charm, serves as the backdrop for the main part of the movie.Director Paul Feig purposely chose Capri for its dramatic contrast between beauty and the dark narrative. In his words, “There’s nowhere more beautiful than Capri… I want everything bad that’s happening to be going on in this really beautiful place.”
GRAND HOTEL QUISISANA
The lavish Grand Hotel Quisisana on Via Camerelle served as the focal point for filming and also housed the cast during the shoot. The hotel was the perfect place for Emily’s wedding because of its beautiful views of the Faraglioni di Capri and its classic Victorian architecture. The film crew stayed on-site for 12 days and used the private pool, balconies and other areas to film.
Jennifer, played by Anna Kendrick, had a great time and said it was like the most luxurious vacation of her life. The hotel’s unbeatable views of the Faraglioni di Capri and the gardens around it gave the mystery-filled plot both style and a hint of tension.
OTHER KEY LOCATIONS IN CAPRI
Beautiful sunsets and views of the coast can be seen from Lido del Faro and the nearby Punta Carena Lighthouse in Anacapri, which were used for outdoor scenes.
Villa Jovis, the ancient Roman palace of Emperor Tiberius, added a mysterious, historical tone. Its staircases and mosaics were featured prominently to echo the film’s sense of hidden secrets.
Filming also occurred near Ristorante Da Gemma, a well-known Capri eatery with 80 years of culinary heritage, and on the water near the iconic Faraglioni rock formations.
ROME, ITALY – CINECITTÀ STUDIOS
While Capri handled the bulk of the visuals, interior sequences—especially those meant to replicate locations in the U.S.—were filmed at Cinecittà Studios in Rome. Known for its cinematic history, Cinecittà allowed for controlled filming environments and high-end production design. The studio’s LED Volume Stage was used to create immersive virtual sets that blended seamlessly with the real-world locations.
TORONTO, CANADA – RETURNING TO ROOTS
A few indoor scenes were shot in Toronto, the primary location for the first film. Its versatile architecture and experienced film crews made it an ideal stand-in for various interior locations, adding continuity between the two films.
FILMING TIMELINE AND CHALLENGES
The filming for ANOTHER SIMPLE FAVOR began in March 2024 and ended in late May 2024, after two months of work. Production was supposed to start in the fall of 2023 but it was pushed back several times, mostly because of the SAG-AFTRA strike. It finally got going again with a focus on international travel and visual grandeur.
Even though there were problems, the production team was able to capture the wealth and mystery that fans expect from this high-stakes franchise.
It wasn’t just for show that Paul Feig chose to set the sequel in such a beautiful and exotic place. The contrast between the movie’s beautiful visuals and its darker themes of murder and betrayal makes the story stronger. Capri’s beauty, from its peaceful beaches to its old ruins, is the perfect cover for the secrets that are hidden below the surface.
