Keke Palmer & SZA Are Coming Back for ‘One of Them Days’ Sequel—And Chaos Will Absolutely Ensue

Buy Me A Coffee

SOUND THE ALARM. HIDE YOUR RENT MONEY. THROW ON A BONNET AND A BONKERS ATTITUDE—because Keke Palmer and SZA are BACK! That’s right, our favorite chaos agents are returning to the big screen in a sequel to One of Them Days, which means more drama, more delinquency, and more decisions that make your therapist go, “…Why?”

According to Variety (aka the town crier of Hollywood), the sequel is cookin’ in the development kitchen with none other than Issa Rae stirring the pot again like a five-star chaos chef. And yes, the original dream team of writer Syreeta Singleton and director Lawrence Lamont are reportedly returning too—because why mess with perfection when you can double down on the nonsense?

For those who missed the first movie (where WERE you?), One of Them Days introduced us to Dreux (Keke Palmer) and Alyssa (SZA), two besties/roommates/walking hurricanes who find out Alyssa’s boyfriend used the rent money for God knows what—NFTs? A pyramid scheme? A new personality? Anyway, the girls go on an unhinged mission to pay the rent and not kill each other in the process. Think The Hangover but with better wigs and much more emotional damage.

The original film premiered in January and made $51.8 million, which is wild for an R-rated, female-led comedy—especially one where someone definitely tries to pawn a blender for bail money. Critics loved it. Audiences loved it. Rotten Tomatoes gave it 94% Certified Fresh, which is literally fresher than most of our produce drawers. (RIP to that sad cucumber from March.)

But wait—don’t go running to the box office yet. The sequel’s still in early development, which means the script is probably just a Word doc titled “CHAOS PLAN 2: ELECTRIC BOOGALOO.” But with this cast and crew? It’s going to be iconic. Maybe they lose their job, start an MLM, accidentally run for mayor—WHO KNOWS. We’re here for all of it.

In extra spicy news, SZA and Kendrick Lamar are currently playing Billboard ping-pong with their chart records like it’s a family reunion dance-off. Their song “Luther” just broke the Billboard record for most weeks at No. 1 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs Chart, sitting comfy for 23 weeks, sipping coconut water and ignoring the haters. This knocks out Kendrick’s previous record of 22 weeks with “Not Like Us,” which had KO’d SZA’s earlier record of 21 weeks for “Kill Bill.” Basically, they’re just passing the crown back and forth like Beyoncé and Rihanna at a wig boutique.

So, buckle up, grab your emotional support snacks, and start manifesting rent money that doesn’t disappear into your partner’s crypto account. One of Them Days 2 is coming, and it’s bringing the drama, the comedy, and probably another totally preventable felony.

✨Stay tuned. Stay messy. Stay iconic.✨
