Rian Johnson is open to the thought of a “Knives Out – holiday special”. The director of Knives Out recently premiered the second installment in Nextflix, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery. It’s great that Daniel Craig will be back as the protagonist in a new mystery about a tech billionaire who killed his partner. Netflix subscribers were able to watch the movie right after its release. The movie’s critical acclaim and strong viewership are a reflection of its success. There’s a lot of speculation about Knives Out 3. Some fans are excited to see what we can expect from it and some fans are already suggesting crossover ideas or other possibilities.
Who is Benoit Blanc?
Benoit Blanc is a fictional character who first appeared in the 2018 crime thriller Knives Out. The film is based on a story written by Rian Johnson. However, he was already known to have written the script of Johnson’s previous project, Looper, in collaboration with his production partner David Coatsworth. The story of Knives Out is a relatively short one and follows a short period. To explain the plot, Coatsworth and Johnson described Benoit Blanc’s past, background, and social circle as well as his actions afterward so that his character would have a reason for what he does in the film.
Can Knives Out Holiday special happen?
In the early days of television, holiday specials were a way for networks to fill time slots. But in 1978, the Star Wars Holiday Special was released and was so bad that George Lucas never allowed it to be aired again. Since that time, very few films have continued the tradition. But opposite critics and audiences enjoyed Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special. In 2020, Star Wars got another chance at a holiday special with The Lego Star Wars Holiday Special. It follows the Disney sequel trilogy.

With Knives Out, Netflix has started its holiday special tradition with the release of its latest film, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery. It’s a good thing that while fans are waiting for the next movie, Rian Johnson can already go ahead and start planning a Knives Out holiday special. From his many previous works, he has been open to the idea of a crossover with the view of “giving back” to Netflix subscribers by giving them another movie to watch during this couple of years.
Who will be cast in this Holiday Special?
Right now, the only cast which is confirmed is Daniel Craig as Benoit Blanc. As a detective and protagonist of the movie, he is the center of the story and the movie is set up around him. And there is no other confirmation of actors or actresses for the movie. Rian just responded on the Holiday special. Would like a series with some of the characters.
Release date of the movie
As of now, there are no official plans for a Knives Out holiday special. But if this movie becomes popular enough and the tone of the movie works well, a Knives Out holiday special may be released within the next couple of years.
In conclusion,
Knives Out was only released a week before Christmas and there was already speculation that the film would be a good fit for Netflix’s Christmas special. However, the director of Knives Out has refused to confirm this speculation stating that he is not sure what his next movie will be. Based on the fact that he took a break after directing his last movie and that he took time to work on another project, Johnson may take another break before directing any other movie.
