As of March 2026, there is no confirmed release date for Knives Out 3. Director Rian Johnson has publicly discussed the possibility of a third film, but no official announcement with a release date has been made by Netflix or the production team.
Here is what is known: Netflix released Knives Out: Wake Up Dead Man in late 2024. Johnson has expressed interest in continuing the franchise with detective Benoit Blanc, but the industry norm for major productions is 2-3 years between announcement and release. If a third film were greenlit in early 2026, we would likely not expect a release until 2028 or 2029.
The best sources for confirmed updates are: (1) Netflix's official announcements, (2) Rian Johnson's verified social media accounts, and (3) entertainment news outlets like Variety, The Hollywood Reporter, and IndieWire that report directly from studio sources.
Pro tip: If you loved the first two films and want similar mystery-thriller recommendations while waiting, look for films directed by Johnson (Looper, The Last Jedi) or similar ensemble mystery films like Clue (1985), Poirot adaptations, or See How They Run (2022).
