‘Knives Out 2’ will drop in late 2022 with a star-studded ensemble

Detective Benoit Blanc is back to solve the next big mystery! Following the release and success of the first installment of the film, Knives Out 2 will be on its way to theaters and Netflix this 2022.

Variety confirmed on January 21 that Knives Out 2 will drop in the last quarter of 2022 and is expected to make “a festival run” before releasing it to the public. Director and writer Rian Johnson first revealed to The Hollywood Reporter in January 2020 that he started developing the film’s sequel. Johnson returned to Knives Out 2 to direct the film. He also served as the producer of the film along with Ram Bergman through their T-Street banner. Steve Yedlin and Bob Ducsay had also returned as the film’s cinematographer and editor, respectively.

Knives Out 2 began its production in June 2021 in Greece and was concluded in September 2021.

Daniel Craig will return and reprise his role as Benoit Blanc. He will be joined by another star-studde ensemble including Dave Bautista, Kathryn Hann, Leslie Odom Jr., Janelle Monáe, Ethan Hawke, Edward Norton, Kate Hudson, Jessica Henwick, and Madelyn Cline.

As of writing, other details surrounding Knives Out 2, such as the plot and exact release date, still remain a mystery.

The first installment of the film revolves around the story of Southern private detective Benoit Blanc solving the mysterious death of crime novelist Harlan Thrombey. Blanc investigates Harlan’s family and his devoted staff, sifting through a web of red herring to uncover the truth behind the novelist’s death.
