Per an official synopsis, Another Simple Favor follows Kendrick’s character Stephanie and Lively’s character Emily as they “head to the beautiful island of Capri, Italy, for Emily’s extravagant wedding to a rich Italian businessman,” where deadly twists occur.

Kendrick previously spoke to PEOPLE in October about reuniting with Lively on set, describing the reunion as “lovely.”

“She lives on the East Coast, I live on the West Coast, so we don’t get to see each other often,” Kendrick said. “But it was lovely, and I think that those characters have such weird chemistry that it’s so fun to just get the gang back together. And it does feel a little bit like riding a bike.”

Stone was recently cast in the upcoming third season of Euphoria, and she’ll star in the action sequel Nobody 2 with Bob Odenkirk.

Another Simple Favor is on Prime Video May 1.
