economictimes.indiatimes.com:

murder mystery film series, Knives Out, are eagerly awaiting the third installment. Here's what we know so far about Knives Out 3, from its release to the cast and possible plot twists.

Rian Johnson's take on the murder mystery genre has been a smash hit over the last decade. The first film received rave reviews and grossed an impressive $312.9 million worldwide at the box office.
Following this success, Johnson signed a massive $450 million deal with Netflix for two Knives Out sequels. The first, «Glass Onion,» premiered on the streaming service in 2022. With stars like Daniel Craig, Ana De Armas, Chris Evans, and Dave Bautista, the franchise has attracted top-tier talent.
