"365 Days" Author Blanka Lipińska Says the Movie Sequel Will Be Even Steamier (2024)

• Speaking to OprahMag.com, 365 Days author Blanka Lipińska gave a preview for the movie sequel, which she is writing.
  
• "It will be a really hot movie," Lipińska says.
• Here's what we know about the sequel to 365 Days, which will once again star Michele Morrone and Anna-Maria Sieklucka.

It looks like we'll be getting more 365 dni—aka 365 Days—in the future, baby girl. After it began streaming on Netflix in June of 2020, viewers couldn't get enough of the plot hole-filled tale of a billionaire mafia man kidnapping the unsuspecting tourist Laura (Anna-Maria Sieklucka), forcing her to fall in love with him within 365 days.

Weeks after 365 Days began streaming, star Michele Morrone confirmed a sequel to the runaway hit. "We're going to shoot the second part," Morrone, recently cast in season 2 of Netflix's Toy Boy, said in a video first reported by TMZ. "We still don't know when because of the problem the whole world got about the COVID, but for sure we will make it."

Seeing as the film is based on the first of a sexy book trilogy by Blanka Lipinska—the subsequent novels are titled Ten dzień (This Day) and Kolejne 365 dni (Another 365 Days)—there's plenty more plot to work with.

Speaking to OprahMag.com, 365 Days author Blanka Lipińska gave a preview for the sequel, which she's co-writing. "I wanted to give my fans more than what they'll find in the book and create something new," she says. When asked whether there will be another scene on par with that yacht scene, Lipińska says, "I cannot tell you a lot—but there will be more sex scenes, for sure. It will be a very hot movie."

Until the "very hot" sequel comes out, we'll hold ourselves over by reading the English translation of Lipinska's book, available starting February 2.

What's the 365 Days sequel release date?

Unfortunately, not anytime soon. Newsweek reported that production was supposed to start on the second film in August 2020 in Sicily, but was postponed due to the coronavirus. According to the outlet, Sieklucka said in an Instagram Q&A, "We will not be able to go abroad to shoot this year because of the pandemic. You must be patient and wait. It will probably be next year. We do not know exactly when we will be able to start."

So as with many things affected by COVID-19, the future is unknown. And seeing as the film would first premiere in Poland before steaming on Netflix, we estimate that fans here in the U.S won't see Massimo and Laura until late 2021. 2022 is also a possibility, but we won't let ourselves get to that dark place just yet.

Is there a trailer?

Taking into account everything we just told you, definitely not. But if you're craving some 365-esqué content, we've got plenty of movie and book recommendations that will scratch that itch—not to mention the trilogy's first book finally translated in English. As soon as there is a trailer, you can bet we'll be trying to report the news first.

Will the original cast return?

Morrone, Sieklucka, and Magdalena Lamparska (Olga) have all spoken publicly about returning for filming, so it looks like our faves will be back.

What will happen in the 365 Days sequel?

If the films continue to follow the book series, we're in for even more of a wild ride in the second movie—if that's even possible.

OprahMag.com already broke down the book spoilers for you here, so you can get all the juicy details of what's to come. But we'll touch on a few major possible plot points:

• Laura doesn't die: At the end of 365 Days, we're left with a major cliffhanger as Mario rushes to inform Massimo that there's been an assassination attempt on Laura on her way home. We then see Massimo drop to his knees in agony. But guess what? Our girl is definitely not dead, 'cause she gets a whole two new books.
• Massimo has an evil twin: Yes, it's straight out of a daytime soap. The twin's name is Adriano, and he's British, y'all!
• Olga and Domenico are a thing: Who else called that? The bff and the lackey always hook up. It's an essential romance novel trope.
• Another lunatic sets his eyes on Laura: This guy's name is Marcelo "Nacho" Matos, and he also kidnaps Laura. And she enters into yet another toxic relationship and falls for him, too. Queue the love triangle.
