About the Knives Out saga
'Knives Out' is Rian Johnson's mystery series, reviving the Agatha Christie-style whodunnit with an unforgettable detective: Benoit Blanc, played by Daniel Craig with a broad Southern drawl. 'Knives Out' (2019) gathered a big cast, including Ana de Armas, Chris Evans and Jamie Lee Curtis, around the death of a famous crime novelist.
It was nominated for the Oscar for best original screenplay and was such a hit that Netflix bought its two sequels. 'Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery' (2022), set on a tech billionaire's Greek island, was also Oscar-nominated, this time for best adapted screenplay.
'Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery' (2025), the third film, sent Blanc to investigate a case in a small parish, with Josh O'Connor and Glenn Close in the cast. Each instalment is a stand-alone case with a new ensemble around Craig.
