Update: 365 Days: This Day is now available to stream on Netflix worldwide!

365 Days: This Day will be released on Netflix on Wednesday, April 27, 2022. The surprising release date was confirmed via a surprised announcement by Netflix, following the announcement of the official April release schedule.

Netflix already shared its list of movies and TV shows coming to its streaming service in April 2022, and it's included, so expect the movie to come out soon!

Netflix already released its slate of upcoming original movies coming in 2022, and sadly, 365 Days: This Day is not in the list, but that doesn't mean the film doesn't have a chance in premiering this year. It's probably not in the slate because it might not be considered as a Netflix original.

We will update this article once Netflix officially confirms a release date for 365 Days: This Day.

365 Days: This Day Plot: What will happen in the sequel?

365 Days: This Day

The plot of the first 365 Days movie is based on the 365 Dni novel by Blanka Lipińska, and the sequel movie will likely adapt the follow-up novel, This Day. The story of the first film features a young woman from Warsaw named Laura Biel (Anna-Maria Sieklucka) falling for a dominant Sicilian man named Don Massimo Torricelli (Michele Morrone), who imprisons and enforcers on her a time frame of 365 days for which to fall in love with him.

The first 365 Days movie ends in a cliffhanger. Laura mentions feeling bad but brushes off seeing a doctor. They discuss their upcoming wedding that her family is not allowed to attend, as she does not want them to find out what Massimo does. However, Massimo invites Olga to come as Laura's bridesmaid. When Olga visits, Laura reveals that she's pregnant, and Olga urges her to let Massimo know about her pregnancy. Laura calls Massimo and asks if they can talk after dinner.

Meanwhile, Mario receives a phone call from a Torricelli informant that a rival mafia family is about to murder Laura. Laura's car enters a tunnel but doesn't come out the other side. Mario rushes to find Massimo just as Laura's call goes out. After finding out what happened, Massimo breaks down, and a police car blocks the entrance of the tunnel.

Netflix already released an official synopsis for 365 Days: This Day, which you can read in the tweet below:

Without spoiling too much, if the story of 365 Days: This Day follows the sequel novel closely, a new character named Marcelo "Nacho" Matos (Simone Susinna) is introduced, and he seizes Laura, and she succumbs to Nacho as well, and that's when the drama escalates.

Massimo will also face another rival, his twin brother Adriano, who lives outside the criminal world and has no affinity with his brother.

Expect more steamy scenes and disturbing storylines in the sequel, but don't expect the sequels to fully adapt the novels 100%. During an interview with Oprahdaily, author Blanka Lipińska said, "I wanted to give my fans more than what they'll find in the book and create something new".

What critics are saying about 365 Days: This Day

Katie Rife of Rogerebert.com:

"365 Days: This Day is barely a movie. Its the emotionally bankrupt id of late capitalism, a braindead miasma of choreographed sex."

Shikhar Verma of High on Films:

"365 Days: This Day is not only dumber, more problematic, and downright un-sexy, it is also incredibly lazy, bland and so supremely unengaging that you wonder if it will even make sense to the returning audiences."

Shaun Munro of Flickering Myth:

"This blandly horny sequel tries in vain to distance itself from its predecessor's icky foundations, and while its sub-telenovela plot is outrageous enough to be perversely entertaining, by any standard metric it's truly terrible stuff."

Are there other steamy movies like 365 Days: This Day coming in 2022?
