Knives Out 3 – Will It Ever Happen?

Though it has already been announced that both «Knives Out 2» and «Knives Out 3» are going to be released on Netflix and are back-to-back projects from writer-director Rian Johnson, the previous film, «Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery,» was only released in late 2022. This fact is no doubt compounded by the SAG-AFTRA strikes that have been ongoing since late spring, but luckily for fans, Johnson had already started working on the third movie before the strikes even began.

Either way, with the strikes seemingly wrapping up, we can likely expect to see cast listings, a trailer, and a plot description for «Knives Out 3» sooner rather than later. Furthermore, given the prospective cost of the strikes for many studios, Netflix will likely be angling to get a surefire hit like «Knives Out 3» out the door as soon as possible. 

While the first movie opened in theaters, the sequel had a hybrid release, opening for a limited release for one week before Netflix added the film to its streaming catalog for home viewers. With that said, whether you want to potentially watch the upcoming sequel at home or on the big screen, you can likely expect a similar release strategy for «Knives Out 3.»
