This Hit Keke Palmer and SZA Movie Has a Whopping 94 Percent on Rotten Tomatoes—and Now It's Getting a Sequel

One of Them Days is officially getting a sequel.

The buddy comedy, starring Keke Palmer and SZA that proved to be a sleeper hit at the box office earlier this year, is back in action, according to an exclusive from Variety. The sequel, which  Issa Rae is producing, is in early development at TriStar Pictures, and while details of the plot are being kept under wraps, both Palmer and SZA are expected to reprise their roles. 

One of Them Days debuted with a whopping 95 percent on Rotten Tomatoes upon its release, narrowly beating out Mufasa for the number one box office spot over MLK weekend. (The film currently still has a 94 percent on RT.) It also reached the number one spot on Netflix when it made its streaming debut.

In the movie, Palmer and SZA star as best friends and roommates, Dreux (Palmer) and Alyssa (SZA). They encounter a day of dramatic chaos, as a young woman’s boyfriend takes the rent money, putting them in a situation where they have to come up with $1,500 before the end of the day.

Considered something of a modern female version of Friday, it also stars notable names like Janelle James, Lil Rel Howery, Maude Apatow and Katt Williams. One of Them Days was produced by Issa Rae in conjunction with her Hoorae Media production company and directed by Lawrence Lamont.
