Rian Johnson Has the Premise & Setting Figured Out For Knives Out 3

Rian Johnson has given an update on his plans for the next Knives Out film, noting that he has the setting and premise figured out. Johnson spoke with The Wrap for a new interview and was asked about the planned third film, which will follow the formats set up by Knives Out and Glass Onion by centering a new mystery around Daniel Craig’s Benoit Blanc.

“It’s coming along,” Johnson said. “I obviously couldn’t work during the strike, and now that it’s over, I’m diving in full force, and so it’s coming along. I’ve got the premise, I’ve got the setting, I’ve got what the movie is in my head. It’s just a matter of writing the damn thing.”

The most recent Benoit Blanc film, Glass Onion, released on Netflix in December of last year. It’s one of Netflix’s most watched films with 136.3 million views. Netflix has distribution rights on the new film as well.
