"Knives Out 2" to Be Released in Late 2022

The next installment of the hotly-anticipated sequel in “Knives Out” is set to debut this fall.

The sequel is expected to release in theaters and Netflix in the last quarter of 2022.

Details surrounding the film are still under wraps, with production wrapping in September 2021.

“Knives Out 2” features Daniel Craig reprising his role as the clever private investigator Benoit Blanc.

The sequel also stars a completely new cast, which includes Ethan Hawke, Edward Norton, Kate Hudson, Dave Bautista, Janelle Monáe, Kathryn Hahn, Leslie Odom Jr., Madelyn Cline, and Jessica Henwick.

The original movie, which had a budget of $40 million, grossed $311.5 million at the global box office.

In March, Netflix bought the rights to “Knives Out 2” and “Knives Out 3” for over $450 million.

Rian Johnson, who returned to write and direct the sequel, will also be producing alongside Ram Bergman under their T-Street production company.

The movie is expected to also make a festival run before its release. The streamer is also expected to dominate the Oscar season once again this year, with “The Power of the Dog”, “Don’t Look Up” and “Tick, Tick … Boom!” being heavy favorites to receive best picture attention.
