Teyana Taylor Is Begging Paul Thomas Anderson for a 'One Battle After Another' Sequel

Paul Thomas Anderson's Leonardo DiCaprio-starrer One Battle After Another has been a dominant force during the 2026 awards season, taking major prizes at the BAFTAs, Golden Globes, and Critics' Choice Awards. The film heads into the 98th Academy Awards with 13 nominations, including Best Picture.

The awards buzz has sparked talk of a follow-up, and Teyana Taylor says she is pressing Anderson to move forward. "The conversations are very, very real," she told IndieWire. "I want to give everybody confirmation that I am currently begging PTA to give us that.

I'm begging him to give us that." Taylor portrays Perfidia Beverly Hills, a far-left revolutionary and leader of the activist group French 75. Perfidia is the former partner of Bob Ferguson (DiCaprio) and the mother of Willa (Chase Infiniti), and the story forces them to survive off-grid after she sells them out to save herself from prison.
