Singer SZA recently made waves on Jimmy Kimmel Live! where she playfully discussed the chance of a sequel to her buddy comedy film “One of Them Days.” The film, which also stars Keke Palmer, was a box office success, and fans are eager to see if there will be more cinematic adventures featuring their favorite characters. With her upcoming Grand National Tour alongside Kendrick Lamar on the horizon, it seems SZA has a lot on her plate, but could a sequel be part of the mix?
SZA Shares Hopes for a Sequel
During her lively appearance on the show, SZA shared her enthusiasm for the idea of revisiting her character in a follow-up to “One of Them Days.” While she would love to team up with Keke Palmer again, she did mention that scheduling could pose a challenge for the talented actress. The friendship and chemistry they exhibited in the film were truly enjoyed by audiences, making the thought of them returning together exciting!
An Audience-Favorite Film
The original film, released on January 17th, has captured the hearts of many since its debut. Directed by Lawrence Lamont and produced by Issa Rae, “One of Them Days” blends laughter and heartfelt moments into a buddy comedy that resonates with viewers of all ages. With its fun storyline and great performances, the film quickly grew popular, raising questions about a potential sequel.
SZA’s Musical Success Continues
In addition to her film endeavors, SZA’s album “SOS” is making headlines. The album has been on the Billboard 200 chart for an astounding 80 nonconsecutive weeks! This remarkable achievement has positioned SZA as one of the longest-running Black artists on the chart, surpassing the legendary Michael Jackson’s album “Thriller.” Such success is less common, making it a noteworthy achievement for this young star!
Chart-Topping Achievements
As of March 16, 2025, “SOS” is still holding onto the number four spot on the Billboard 200 chart. During that week, the album garnered 69,000 album-equivalent units sold, signaling that listeners are still excited about SZA’s music. The album’s popularity has been significantly boosted by the release of its deluxe edition, “LANA,” which included new songs that have gotten many fans buzzing.
What’s Next for SZA?
Looking ahead, SZA is gearing up for her Grand National Tour which kicks off on April 19th in Minneapolis and wraps up on August 9th. This tour might further elevate the album’s performance on the charts as concert-goers are introduced to her latest songs live. There’s also speculation that SZA may release music videos for the new songs from the “LANA” edition, which could help to keep the streaming numbers climbing and her presence on the charts strong.
The Future of ‘One of Them Days’
While fans eagerly await news about a potential sequel to “One of Them Days,” SZA reminded everyone of the hard work and creativity that would go into making such a project a reality. She acknowledged the expectations that come with more successful films and expressed her willingness to meet them. Whether or not Keke Palmer can join her remains to be seen, but both stars have left a memorable mark on their audience with their original film, and many hope to see them again soon!
