Currently, Sony is also promoting 'Karate Kid: Legends', which opened to a solid box office performance, showcasing the studio's ongoing success with diverse projects.

This follow-up aims to continue the themes of friendship and resilience while maintaining the comedic tone that resonated with audiences.

The original film, released in early 2025, follows best friends Dreux and Alyssa as they navigate a chaotic day in Los Angeles after discovering that Alyssa's boyfriend has misused their rent money.

The first film was a commercial success, grossing over $51 million worldwide on a budget of approximately $14 million, and received critical acclaim with a 94% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Critics have described the original film as a 'big-laughs, mid-budget theatrical comedy,' which has contributed to the excitement surrounding the sequel.

On June 4, 2025, it was announced that a sequel to the successful film 'One of Them Days' is in early development, with Keke Palmer and SZA expected to reprise their roles.

The sequel has been ordered by TriStar Pictures less than three months after the original's release, indicating strong confidence in the franchise.

Critics praised the film for its humor and engaging theater experience, especially in contrast to the trend of comedies moving to streaming platforms.

The success of 'One of Them Days' has sparked increased interest among studios in investing in diverse storytelling, as noted by producers like Syreeta Singleton and Deniese Davis.

Developed through Sony's CoCre lab, the original project aimed to support diverse writers and took nearly seven years to reach production.

The sequel is set to begin pre-production in April 2025 to align with the schedules of Palmer and SZA, with a target release in early 2026.

While details about the sequel's plot and additional cast members have not yet been disclosed, the anticipation remains high following the original's success.
