Knives Out sequel Glass Onion: When can you watch it on Netflix?
Knives Out, the hit 2019 mystery film written and directed by Rian Johnson, has a sequel in the work called Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery. Here is everything you need to know about the upcoming movie, including when you'll be able to watch it online through Netflix.
Knives Out sequel Glass Onion: What you need to know
When the original Knives Out released in cinemas a few months before the pandemic, it received critical acclaim and grossed $311.4 million worldwide against a $40 million budget. Both the 73rd British Academy Film Awards and the 92nd Academy Awards even nominated the moving for Best Original Screenplay. So, it was no surprise to learn that Netflix paid a massive sum last year for the rights to two sequels written and directed by Johnson, with Daniel Craig reprising his role as detective Benoit Blanc.
The first sequel, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, is scheduled to be released in late 2022. Filming took place last summer.
Little is known about the plot of the movie. Netflix’s official description simply says that the movie will show Detective Benoit Blanc traveling to Greece to "peel back the layers of a mystery involving a new cast of suspects".
In a recent thread on Twitter, Johnson revealed how he has also been inspired by Agatha Christie while making the sequel:
Something I love about Agatha Christie is how she never tread water creatively. I think there’s a misperception that her books use the same formula over and over, but fans know the opposite is true.
