The original Knives Out received a strong, mostly positive reaction when it was released in 2019. The first of two Knives Out sequels will be directed by Rian Johnson and will be made for the streamer. Both films and much of Johnson's previous work have been praised for playing around with expectations of the genre or franchise he's in.
According to a recent story from Deadline, Johnson admitted that Knives Out lacks a strong foundation for where to go next. He said that mystery is not a broad genre. The genre of mystery novel is not known for its innovation. It doesn't feel like there's an unlimited amount of stuff to draw from. You do find yourself coming back to the same titles in the genre.
Johnson said he would look for gems within the genre as inspiration. He wants to avoid resting on his laurels, as he is also working on Poker Face, a separate mystery show for Peacock. We have talked a lot about how we have to stop when we feel like we're turning the crank on another one of these. If there is demand for the films, the duo will keep making them. Should the franchise begin to feel like an obligation, both of them have agreed to pull the cord.
Since the press tour for Glass Onion, Johnson has been working on Knives Out 3. He said that he wants the film to be different from its predecessors as he called it his most exciting creative thing. He said that it was important for each one to feel safe. The box needs to be shook.
