The Next 365 Days is the last film from the trilogy based on the books by Blanka Lipi

How Is Netflix’s ‘The Next 365 Days’ Different From the Book?

Avid readers are always apprehensive when their beloved book gets adapted into a
film or a TV show. Fans get so attached to the story that even a slight
deviation can set them off. While most of them worry if the on-screen rendition
would do justice to the source material, things are a little different for the
film adaption of The Next 365 Days. Let us find out why.



Based on the book series by Blanka Lipińska, 365 days is a trilogy. Its latest
film, The Next 365 Days released on Netflix as recently as August 19, 2022.
While the first film in the series closely followed the book’s narrative, the
same cannot be said for the sequels. Even the official announcement
[https://about.netflix.com/en/news/netflix-announces-the-start-of-production-for-365-days-part-2-and-part-3]
for the production explicitly mentions that the movies are only “loosely based”
on the novels. And what is more? The alterations might just be for the better.

Part two, titled 365 Days: This Day,
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-365-days-this-day-have-a-look-at-the-filming-locations-of-new-erotic-thriller/]
already set a precedent for the deviation the movies would take when compared to
the books. The meet-cute with Laura and Nacho in the book is also an imposter
syndrome trope where she develops feelings for Nacho as he holds her against her
will. Thankfully, the creators changed this detail in the film, and their
relationship is harmless for the most part. The Next 365 Days, however, made
many more changes to the flick.

THE NEXT 365 DAYS: BOOK VS MOVIE

The beginning of the film mirrors the novel as we see Laura survive and recover
after being shot. This is more detailed in the book, as it involves Nacho
getting Laura a heart for her transplant from a source not mentioned anywhere.
Also, in the book, she was actually pregnant. The movie takes a different route
as Laura is pregnant in the first part and loses her baby after a car crash. 

[data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==]

Distinct from the movie, Laura is actually madly in love with Nacho, bordering
on obsession, and moves in with him as Massimo does his own philandering. While
shacking up with Nacho, a package with the remains of her dead dog (a gift from
Massimo) is delivered to Laura’s doorstep. Massimo even falsely accuses Nacho of
murdering the dod at Olga’s wedding.

The naive Laura takes Massimo on his world alone, ends things with Nacho, and
goes back to her former love and captor. Massimo, once again, holds her captive
when she discovers it was he who, in fact, killed the dog. If that wasn’t
enough, he drugged Laura and tried to impregnate her. As part of her escape
plan, Laura seduces Massimo and runs away from him back to Nacho.

The book ends with Laura and Nacho happily married with a daughter. Massimo
ultimately gets over Laura, signs the divorce papers, and also gives up the
company to her. While the book has a definitive ending, the movie went a
different way and kept things open. We still don’t know whether Laura will
choose Nacho or Massimo.


WHY WERE THE CHANGES MADE?

Lipińska’s final book received a barrage of negative comments and backlash upon
its release. The masochistic, problematic characters and storylines did not sit
well with many fans. So, the alterations made for the film were probably to
redeem itself and make things right.

However, the same might not be true for the ending. There is no fourth 365 Days
book, as the trilogy has a clear ending with a payoff. But the film’s open-ended
finale definitely hints at another movie
