As of March 2026, there has been no official announcement of a Knives Out 3. Director Rian Johnson has expressed interest in continuing the franchise, but no green light, release date, or formal project details have been publicly confirmed by Netflix or Johnson's production company.
What we know: Netflix signed Johnson to a deal for multiple Benoit Blanc mysteries after the success of Glass Onion (2022). Industry reports suggest a third film is in development, but announcements typically come 12-18 months before production wraps — so if one is in early development now, we might not hear official news until late 2026 or early 2027.
Your best move: follow Rian Johnson's social media and Netflix's official announcements. Netflix tends to announce mystery/thriller releases during their quarterly shareholder events or dedicated streaming announcements.
Pro tip: If you loved the Knives Out films, Glass Onion is worth rewatching while you wait — Johnson layers in details that reward multiple viewings, and there are hints scattered throughout about future mysteries.
