The donut hole is getting another donut hole: Knives Out is getting a sequel. Writer-director Rian Johnson's murder mystery Knives Out recalls the glory days of the murder mystery where Agatha Christie adaptations like Murder on the Orient Express and Death on the Nile reigned supreme. Just like those previous murder mystery movies, Knives Out also boasts a truly star-studded cast led by Daniel Craig as top-notch sleuth Benoit Blanc. In addition to Craig, the Knives Out cast includes Jamie Lee Curtis, Don Johnson, Chris Evans, Ana de Armas, Michael Shannon, LaKeith Stanfield, Toni Collette, Katherine Langford, and Christopher Plummer.

The little whodunit that could became a box office success after its theatrical run kicked off in November 2019. To date, the Lionsgate feature film has earned a jaw-dropping $306 million worldwide, more than making back its $40 million budget. Not only was it a hit at the box office, it was an awards season favorite with three Golden Globe nominations and an Oscar nomination for Best Original Screenplay. Given its success, it’s no surprise that Lionsgate would be interested in making a sequel to the film.

Now that Rian Johnson no longer has his hands full with Star Wars — the proposed trilogy he’s developing with Lucasfilm seems to be at a standstill for the time being— there’s more time to conjure up another mystery for Knives Out 2. Whether there will be an abundance of knit sweaters in the sequel is unclear, but here’s everything we do know about Knives Out 2 so far.

Is there a release date for Knives Out 2?

The sequel is in the early days of development, meaning there’s no scheduled release date at present. Johnson told The Hollywood Reporter that he was already working on the sequel, Lionsgate and MRC have not officially greenlit the sequel to Knives Out.

However, Lionsgate chairman Joe Drake says that he’s eager to read Johnson’s completed script. There seems to be potential to turn the film into a franchise. Johnson also added that he’d ideally like a quick turnaround, which is super similar to Knives Out's one-year production and release schedule. As such, Johnson hopes to have the sequel finished within the year. If this is the case, it means it’s possible we could see Knives Out 2 at some point in early 2021. But, since nothing's confirmed, it's best to wait and see.

Will any Knives Out cast members return to the sequel?

Daniel Craig’s character, gentleman detective Benoit Blanc, would be the focus of the Knives Out sequel, according to THR. Johnson’s producing partner Ram Bergman said Craig “had so much fun doing it, and he wants to do more.” So, it’s a pretty safe bet that Craig will be on board if the film does become a reality.

There’s no word yet on whether anyone else from the original cast would return, but it’s more likely that the film will have a new cast of characters, especially if Johnson is aiming to create a murder mystery universe in the style of novelist Agatha Christie's famed Poirot mysteries. That said, we're not opposed to Ana de Armas' Marta Cabrera returning to be the Watson to Blanc's Sherlock.

What is the plot of Knives Out 2?

All we know so far about the plot is that it involves Benoit Blanc investigating a new case. That makes sense since, Craig is the only original cast member mentioned as possibly returning. Given what we know about Harlan Thrombey, and his fondness for crafting intricate mysteries in fiction and real life, it’s possible he has a posthumous mission for Blanc. Craig’s character also briefly mentions that his father and Thrombey had been old friends, so that could also tie in somehow.

In one particularly notable scene early in the film, Toni Collette's character, Joni, mentions that she read a tweet about a NewYorker article profiling Blanc. According to Joni, the article includes a mention about Blanc's work on a case involving a dead tennis instructor. It would definitely be fun to see a pre-New Yorker article Blanc working a case that eventually catapults him to fame.

Then again, the first Knives Out established that Blanc isn’t averse to traveling to take on a case, so the plot to Knives Out 2 could take him anywhere so long as there’s enough intrigue.

What is the title of Knives Out 2?

Wouldn't you like to know! Speculation about what the new title of the Knives Out sequel could be — because it can't just be Knives Out 2, I mean c'mon — has occupied many a fan's time. So far, no official sequel titles have been revealed. However, it's extremely likely we'll get word on the new title around the same time filming on the sequel begins.

Wait, so I won't see more of Chris Evans in that incredible sweater?

Hate to burst your bubble, pal, but probably not. But that doesn't mean Johnson and the Knives Out costume department won't figure out a way to give us even more swoon-worthy sartorial moments featuring ridiculously good-looking people in the sequel.

Knives Out is now available on digital, DVD, Blu-ray, and 4K Ultra HD.

‘Knives Out’ has been elaborately categorized as an ensemble black comedy-thriller. However, at its core, the movie is a murder mystery that promises to tug at the boundaries of the genre, and break it down, only to rebuild it. Aptly, it has been labeled as a modern take on the mystery genre. The basic plot is about a dysfunctional family that comes together for a gathering to find that things have gone horribly wrong when the patriarch shows up dead. A master detective shows up to investigate, only to become increasingly baffled by the case.

The film comes from Rian Johnson, who started off on a similar note, making the fantastic movie ‘Brick’. However, his directorial debut channeled the noir vibes to a high school setting. ‘Brick’ makes it clear that Johnson knows his mystery genre well enough to shake things up. However, while ‘Brick’ is a clear homage to hardboiled writers like Dashiell Hammett, ‘Knives Out’ has been structured like a classic locked-room mystery with a limited number of suspects, which is a trademark of Agatha Christie.

The movie promises to be an entertaining watch and one that will certainly keep us guessing as the filmmaker gradually reveals all the pieces on the table like a magician setting up a grand act. We are definitely excited to see how the star-studded cast accentuates the plot with their performances. Thus, without much ado, we bring you everything that we know about ‘Knives Out’, the upcoming film.

Knives Out Plot: What Is It About?

‘Knives Out’ follows acclaimed and wealthy crime novelist, Harlan Thrombey. For his 85th birthday, he invites the members of his dysfunctional family to attend a gathering at his remote mansion. The hope is to reunite them all. However, the next day after the birthday party, Harlan is found dead by the members of the family.

This is where the Christie-like locked room mystery begins to add the features of a classic whodunnit, as masterfully portrayed by Alfred Hitchcock. We get the inkling that everything might not be as it seems when lead detective Lieutenant Elliott is more than eager to write off the death as an overly dramatic suicide. He believes that Harlan slit his own throat. Despite this, the investigation reveals that the party on the night before had its share of shouting matches and confrontations among various members of the self-righteous and largely indignant Thrombey family. Finally, an experienced private investigator, Benoit Blanc, is called to get to the bottom of the case. However, he soon becomes flustered as he comes to realize that everyone might be a suspect in the possible murder.

At its core, ‘Knives Out’ asks who committed the murder, but through the investigation, we are made aware of the household tensions that exist between different members of the family. We come across a bevy of fascinating characters like Harlan’s meek nurse, Marta, who vomits uncontrollably whenever she lies. This seems to be a particularly disadvantageous medical condition to have when one is caught up in a murder investigation and is likely to be privy to the secrets of other family members.

We are also introduced to Ransom Drysdale-Thrombey, the black sheep of the family, who everyone considers to be a troublemaker. It is abundantly clear that every member of the household has some motive or the other to want Harlan dead. The only question that Blanc must ask himself is who actually went through with the deed. ‘Knives Out’ becomes a study in the grievances the members have towards Harlan, which springs from the kind of relationship he shared with them. It also explores how the members react differently to Harlan’s death and process the grief.

Overall, it promises to be a somewhat serious plot with occasional comic streaks, making for an overall enjoyable experience.

Knives Out Cast: Who Is In It?

‘Knives Out’ has an immensely star-studded cast that is bound to make your head spin. Christopher Plummer appears as Harlan, the victim, while Daniel Craig appears as Benoit Blanc, the detective. Notably, Craig’s performance with a Southern drawl and infinite warmth and patience is a far cry from his portrayal in the James Bond movies. There are several other key characters like Harlan’s maid, who has a bad reaction to lying. Ana de Armas appears as the maid, Marta Cabrera. Chris Evans of the MCU movies appears as the black sheep of the family, Ransom Drysdale-Thrombey.

However, the cast does not simply end here. The members of the Thrombey family are portrayed by talented actors. Jamie Lee Curtis plays Linda Drysdale-Thrombey, Michael Shannon is seen as Walter “Walt” Thrombey, Don Johnson appears as Richard Drysdale-Thrombey, Toni Collette plays Joni Thrombey, while Katherine Langford is seen as Meg Thrombey. Lakeith Stanfield plays the role of Detective Lieutenant Elliot, who is eager to put the case to bed.

Knives Out Crew: Who Is Behind It?

Rian Johnson is directing ‘Knives Out’ and the story comes from him as well. Notably, the director made his mark with ‘Star Wars‘ films, besides directing ‘Looper‘ and some of the best episodes of ‘Breaking Bad‘ including ‘Ozymandias’. Johnson is co-producing with Ram Bergman. Steve Yedlin is the man behind the camera, and the entire project is being distributed by Lionsgate.
