Exclusive: Following recent confirmation from Amazon MGM Studios and Lionsgate that A Simple Favor 2 is a go, the film has added seven new cast members: Elena Sofia Ricci, Michele Morrone (365 Days), Elizabeth Perkins (Minx), Alex Newell (Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist), Taylor Ortega (Grand Death Lotto), Lorenzo de Moor, and Aparna Nancherla (The Drop).
While Nancherla reprises her role as Sona, all other roles are new and under wraps for now.

Last May, Ellen Rapoport’s workplace comedy Minx — which caused a bit of a stir thanks to its pilot episode’s parade of private parts — was met with a resounding show of support in the form of a season two renewal at the Warner Bros. Discovery streamer, then named HBO Max. But by December, amid a somewhat unprecedented money-saving effort led by Wbd CEO David Zaslav, the platform (now dubbed simply Max) reversed course and canceled the show’s second season with just a single week left of filming.
Minx‘s axing sent up alarm bells in the live-action scripted space, which found itself being written off for tax purposes, much like a number of titles in the animated space earlier that year. It also signaled a new, unsettling era in the streaming age for creators and their crews, who now were not just facing the standard renewal chopping block...

Years after wrapping up his role as Nick Miller on "New Girl," Jake Johnson is still making us laugh with his latest role as Peter B. Parker in the animated Spider-Verse franchise. In the first film, "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse," Peter is introduced as a divorced man who never saw himself having kids. However, in the second film, "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse," we learn that his character has rekindled his romance with his wife, Mary Jane, and become a father to a baby girl named Mayday.
While speaking about Peter's growth in a May 30 interview with Entertainment Tonight, Johnson said he's got "a lot of respect" for Peter because "he's trying to raise little Mayday while saving the world."
Johnson has a lot of similarities with Peter. First of all, the "Minx" actor is also a married man in real life. Although Johnson has rarely opened up about his personal life over the years,...

Jake Johnson’s feature directorial debut, titled “Self Reliance,” is coming to Hulu on Sept. 8. The streamer will launch the comedy thriller, written and starring the “Minx” and “New Girl” star, as a Hulu original.
Hulu acquired the film in a deal with MRC and Paramount Global Distribution after fierce competition following its debut at the SXSW Film Festival in March. The logline for the film reads: “When a man is offered a million dollars to play a game in which hunters try to kill him, he thinks he has found the perfect loophole: they can only attack when he’s alone. His only problem is that none of his friends or family believe the game is real.”
Along with Johnson, the film stars Anna Kendrick, Natalie Morales, Andy Samberg, GaTa (“Dave”), Emily Hampshire (“Schitt’s Creek”), Mary Holland, Boban Marjanović, Christopher Lloyd and Wayne Brady.
