Knives Out quickly became a beloved franchise following its first two films — and Benoit Blanc’s adventures are just getting started.
The first movie, which was released in 2019, explored the death of renowned writer Harlan Thrombey (Christopher Plummer) and how his wealthy, dysfunctional family may have played a role in his demise. Viewers watched as detective Blanc (Daniel Craig) worked together with Marta Cabrera (Ana de Armas) to solve the murder — as the nurse secretly tried to cover up her own involvement.
Knives Out also starred Chris Evans, Jamie Lee Curtis, Don Johnson, Toni Collette, LaKeith Stanfield, Katherine Langford and Jaeden Martell.
Rian Johnson, who directed, wrote and produced the film, went on to expand the Knives Out universe with the first sequel. Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery served as an anthology with only Craig returning as his character from the first film.
Glass Onion, which premiered on Netflix in December 2022, introduced a new group of people at the center of a murder investigation. After traveling to a remote island in Greece, Benoit tried to figure out who was responsible for two deaths connected to fictional tech billionaire Miles Bron (Edward Norton).
Janelle Monáe, Kathryn Hahn, Leslie Odom Jr., Jessica Henwick, Madelyn Cline, Kate Hudson and Dave Bautista rounded out the cast of the second installment.
