According toVariety, a surprise discrete auction happened forKnives Out 2&3recently. It was probably an all-out war of the streamers that took place between Netflix,Apple, andAmazon. Ultimately, Netflix has won. They’ve closed the deal at $450 million for the two upcoming sequels that Rian Johnson has written. This is the biggest movie purchase in history. Lionsgate distributed the firstKnives Out, which came out in 2019 and lit up the Box Office. It had cost just $40 million and ended up making over $311 million. Now, the sequels have found themselves in an even better position.

Production & Potential Release

Netflix has been willing to hold strong franchises, and it’s safe to say that they’ve got a pretty strong one withKnives Out. Not much is known about the sequels, but we know for a fact that Daniel Craig is set to return as Detective Benoit Blanc. Deadline reports that Rian Johnson & Craig will begin with the production on June 29, 2025. With this filming window, we could end up gettingKnives Out 2in late 2022, or perhaps in 2023.

The case of Harlan Thrombey’s murder was solved in the first one. It’d be interesting to see what other complex mysteries Johnson has to offer us in the coming two sequels. We previously got an all-star cast with the likes of Chris Evans, Michael Shannon, Ana de Armas, Jamie Lee Curtis, Katherine Langford, and Christopher Plummer starring alongside Daniel Craig. So, we should expect some other big names to be a part of bothKnives Out 2&3.
