“One of Them Days” 2 Is Coming—Here’s Everything You Didn’t Know You Needed
The buzz around the sequel to “One of Them Days” is real, and fans can’t wait to see what’s next for Dreux and Alyssa. Keke Palmer and SZA are reprising their roles, bringing back the chemistry that helped make the first film a hit. With TriStar Pictures behind the project and the original creative team—director Lawrence Lamont and writer Syreeta Singleton—returning, expectations are high for another round of laughs and heart.
“One of Them Days” Premise
While the plot’s still under wraps, fans are already speculating about what challenges and misadventures await. The first movie followed Dreux and Alyssa as they tried to avoid eviction, blending humor with real-life struggles. The sequel will likely stick to that formula, exploring friendship, resilience, and maybe a few new curveballs.
“One of Them Days” Success and Release
The original was a breakout success, grossing over $50 million and earning a 94% on Rotten Tomatoes. Its authentic voice and cultural impact resonated with audiences and helped it stay in Netflix’s top 10 for weeks. The sequel is being developed through Sony’s CoCre lab, a program that supports underrepresented screenwriters—Singleton’s original script took seven years to craft, and the sequel continues that journey.
More than just a follow-up, the sequel is a celebration of the characters, the culture, and the kind of storytelling that’s finally getting its due. If the first film proved anything, it’s that stories rooted in authenticity and community can win big—and make us laugh while they’re at it. Variety first reported the news.
