Netflix struck a deal to pay an eye-opening $450 million for the rights to Knives Out 2 and Knives Out 3, the upcoming sequels to the 2019 murder mystery film.
Don’t worry, Daniel Craig is back as private detective Benoit Blanc.
This is a big win for Netflix. Knives Out is one the best films to come out in the past three years, well suited for a trilogy run. The riveting film is quirky yet doesn’t lose its mysterious feel. Deadline says Netflix outbid its competitors Apple and Amazon auction-style for the films.
Though Amazon, HBO Max, Disney+, Hulu, Apple, and Peacock all offer quality content, Netflix still sits atop the Streaming Wars.
Rian Johnson will return to direct the film and has already written the sequels. Johnson was nominated for an Oscar for best original screenplay.
The first picture will begin shooting on June 28 in Greece and casting will begin immediately.
I would have considered paying $450 million to not make a sequel. That movie, despite its cast, sucked.
Overpaid. Plus, I fired Netflix last August.
Canceled Netflix service last year when they began proudly producing pedophilia content. Hope everything they touch fails spectacularly.
You and I are on the same page with Netflix.
Can’t wait to never watch!
Bobby loves Rian Johnson. Says it all about Bobby.
And WTF is this article doing on Outkick? Who is asking for this content? Or, perhaps more to the point, who is paying Bobby to write this content?

Just learn to read fast. You know, before the page burns.
Never heard of it.
Maybe they’ll reveal where Daniel Craig’s accent is supposed to be from.
