It has been well over two years since the movie 365 Days captured the attention of Netflix fans all over the world and now the third movie in the trilogy, The Next 365 Days, is arriving on Netflix. Based on a trio of bestselling novels from Polish author Blanka Lipińska, the mafia romance found a whole new audience while people were in lockdown.
Although the pandemic delayed production on the second movie in the series, 365 Days: This Day, it finally arrived earlier this year and now the final chapter in the story has arrived.
The unexpected international hit surprised some viewers for its dark tale of a woman being held captive by a mafia boss who gives her a year to fall in love with him. However, Mafia romance is a very popular subsection of the romance genre at large, so there’s no question that romance fans drove those numbers higher and higher.
Here’s everything we know about The Next 365 Days.
When is The Next 365 Days release date?
The Next 365 Days comes to Netflix on August 19 in the US and Poland. While we expect that the movie to also be released in the UK on the same date, it hasn’t been confirmed. As soon as we know, we'll have that information available.
365 Days, the first movie in the erotic thriller trilogy debuted on Netflix in February 2020 and the sequel, 365 Days: This Day, arrived in April 2022.
Who is in The Next 365 Days cast?
Since 365 Days: This Day ended in a bit of a cliffhanger, we can only make assumptions about which cast members will return for The Next 365 Days.
