Another week and more viral Facebook posts are spreading misinformation about the return of popular movies and shows. This time, we’re debunking the fact that 365 Days is currently not set to return for a fourth movie entry despite multiple accounts stating otherwise.
It’s been around a year since The Next 365 Days landed on Netflix, with parts 2 and 3 of the movie franchise dropping throughout 2022, hoping to capitalize on the insane viewership numbers the first viral movie got in 2020.
The sequels are loosely based on the 365 Days book trilogy by Blanka Lipinska, with all three of the movies produced out of Poland.
Viral posts on Facebook suggest a 365 Days 4 is coming soon
Since around May of 2023, dozens of posts about a 365 Days 4 coming to Netflix have surfaced on Facebook and gone viral.
One of the biggest accrued tens of thousands of likes and shares.
Only, it’s not true. There is currently no plans for a 365 Days 4.
Viral posts on Facebook saying a 365 Days 4 is coming soon
This is the second time in recent weeks we’ve had to do a post about these various Netflix-inspired Facebook pages by the name of “Netflix Addict,” “The Netflix Memes,” and “Netflix Daily Updates.”
In the last few weeks, we debunked one post that stated that The Queen’s Gambit is returning for a second season (it’s not).
It’s unclear whether they’re all operated by the same person, but we do know they’re all promoting NetflixLife.com. Why that specific site? Well, they’re being paid by NetflixLife to deliver traffic to them, as you can see by the affiliate code slapped onto the end of the respective links. They’re earning anywhere up to $7 per 1000 sessions, depending on where a visitor is from.
The kicker comes in when you navigate to the NetflixLife page in question; there’s no mention of a fourth movie being in development.
The closest we’ve ever come to a fourth movie is a tease by Michele Morrone (who plays Massimo in the movies), who posted on Instagram last August: “The end of something is always a little bit sad.. but.. who knows….”
Hardly a confirmation, is it? If anything, that’s more of an announcement we won’t be getting a 365 Days 4.
It’s worth noting Netflix never stated that the third movie was the last. They did refer to it on multiple occasions as the “next installment,” suggesting the door could be open to more. With that said, the movie notably declined in viewership over the course of the three movies, never replicating the boom of the first.
These accounts also make claims about other hit Netflix movies returning for sequels when they’re not. Purple Hearts is not officially returning for a part 2 as it stands, nor has Enola Holmes been greenlit for a third entry. Given how these are going viral, we’ll no doubt be back to debunk them too.
Do you wish Netflix was bringing back 365 Days for a fourth movie? Let us know in the comments.
