TL;DR:
- Knives Out 3 has already been green-lit by Netflix.
- Rian Johnson and Daniel Craig will return for the next sequel.
Knives Out sequel Glass Onion made its Netflix debut in December, and the film has accumulated just as much praise — if not more — than the original. Glass Onion has reignited fans’ love of murder mysteries and made viewers eager for more adventures with Detective Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig). Fortunately, they can look forward to another film in Rian Johnson’s series. Here’s what we know about Knives Out 3 so far.
Is ‘Knives Out 3’ happening? Another sequel was green-lit by Netflix
That’s right, Knives Out 3 is already confirmed and happening — so, fans of Rian Johnson’s whodunits won’t need to wait with bated breath for news on that front.
In fact, Variety reported that Netflix had purchased the rights to two Knives Out sequels in March 2021. So, viewers knew that the Knives Out mysteries would continue beyond Glass Onion before the film even came out. Needless to say, that’s something of a relief among fans of the series. But what exactly can we expect from the follow-up to Knives Out and Glass Onion?

Rian Johnson and Daniel Craig will return for ‘Knives Out 3’
Not much is known about Knives Out 3 as of this writing. However, Rian Johnson will return to write and direct the third movie. And Daniel Craig will reprise his role as Detective Benoit Blanc, the man the entire series centers on.
In fact, Craig seems game to keep doing Knives Out sequels for as long as he can. During an interview with Variety, he admitted as much, praising Johnson’s writing.
“If he keeps writing them, I’ll keep doing them,” Craig said of Johnson. “That’s what makes it easy then, he’s such a wonderful writer that it’s there on the page for me to do.”
As far as the rest of the cast for Knives Out 3, there’s no word on which actors will star in the upcoming film. Judging by the fact that Knives Out and Glass Onion had completely different lineups, it’s unlikely we’ll see any familiar faces. The ending of Glass Onion brought the characters’ stories to a satisfying close. And if Ana de Armas’ Marta didn’t return for the second movie, it’s hard to imagine Janelle Monáe’s Helen making a comeback.
Of course, we’ll have to wait for more updates to know for sure who’s in the cast of Knives Out 3.
