Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, a sequel to the 2019 film Knives Out, will land on Netflix later this year. The flick will be the second part of the franchise, which has been written and directed by Rian Johnson during the COVID-19 lockdown.

Rian Johnson introduced the film in the Princess of Wales Theater and said, “Part of the real pleasure of it for me is having a whodunit that’s not a period piece but set in modern America and that fully engages with whatever’s on people’s minds at the time hopefully in a way that’s still completely encased within an entertainment”. “I hope we pulled that off again.”
