How different is the book's ending from the movie? It has been a minute since the apparent finale of the steamy franchise, and the smoke has somewhat cleared in its surprising wake. So, let's break it down. First off, here is a * huge spoiler warning * for those that need that (and a cold shower) before reading more about "365 Days." Now that you have done that, here is the answer to a potential burning question after watching the threequel. Is the film series over? So far, there are only three books in author Blanka Lipinska's series, presumably making "The Next 365 Days" the final movie. However, the way Lipinska ends Book 3 ("Kolejne 365 dni") is so different from the film that it stands to reason that Netflix could theoretically produce another ...

Nick Drnaso on 'Acting Class,' a Short Story - The Atlantic

"Acting Class" is a new story by Nick Drnaso, adapted from his forthcoming book Acting Class (available August 16). To mark the story's publication in The Atlantic , Drnaso and Oliver Munday, the design director of the magazine, discussed the story over email.
