The first sequel to 365 Days will continue the story of Laura and Massimo's romantic entanglement, and there is more that's currently known about the Netflix movie. The erotic thriller 365 Days follows the relationship between Laura and Massimo, a Sicilian crime boss, after he kidnaps and imprisons her. The movie proved to be a critical disappointment, heavily criticized for its depiction of sexual violence and apparent glorification of criminal activity.
It wasn't just critics that weren't enthralled with the movie, either: 365 Days was controversial with audiences, too. Considered an unintelligent cash-in on the success of the 50 Shades franchise, 365 Days was widely criticized but still managed to draw a significant audience. Despite — or perhaps thanks to — the controversy surrounding 365 Days, Netflix announced two sequels.
The first of these sequels, titled 365 Days: This Day, will continue Laura and Massimo's story after the cliffhanger ending of the first movie, and it looks to be maintaining the tone of the original as well. Ahead of the 365 Days sequel's release, here's everything you need to know about the story, cast, and more.
365 Days 2 Release Date
365 Days: This Day, like the first movie, will be streaming on Netflix. The sequel will be released as part of Netflix's April line-up, specifically set to land on the platform on April 27, 2022. The original movie's success on Netflix was fueled by its controversy, although whether the sequel will replicate that remains to be seen.
365 Days 2 Cast
The full cast of 365 Days: This Day has yet to be revealed, although many of the first movie's cast will return. Michele Morrone and Anna-Maria Sieklucka reprise their roles as Massimo and Laura for the sequel, as do Magdalena Lamparaska and Otar Saralidze as Olga and Domenico, respectively. In addition, Simone Susinna joins the cast as Nacho for 365 Days: This Day.
365 Days 2 Story
The story of 365 Days: This Day will clear up the cliffhanger ending of 365 Days. The trailer for the erotic thriller sequel reveals that Laura is alive and well, although her pregnancy isn't overtly referenced.
It's not yet clear exactly how 365 Days: This Day will handle the first film's ending, but as the trailer shows Laura and Massimo's wedding, the sequel will obviously continue the story of their relationship. However, new characters such as Nacho may pose a threat to their dynamic, although exactly how remains to be seen.
365 Days 2 Trailer
The trailer for the 365 Days sequel actually reveals relatively little about the movie itself. The main indication is that 365 Days: This Day will center on the marriage of Laura and Massimo, and the continued tensions of both Massimo's criminal life and the couple's sexual appetites. The 365 Days: This Day trailer also doesn't clearly reference the first movie's ending, meaning that the sequel will still have questions to answer upon its release on April 27.
