Frequently Asked Questions about Knives Out Sequel:
What will Knives Out II be about?
No one knows yet, but we can expect a new detective duo and an unsolved murder case. It’ll probably have something to do with government corruption because of the use of ‘unsolved murders’ in the synopsis, or it might just feature more crimes that take place in London. We’re also expecting appearances from Shaw and Kennedy from Knives Out I, so you never know!
It’s likely to centre around political scandals like the MPs expenses scandal, which was uncovered by The Daily Telegraph newspaper back in 2009 – 2010. This could make for some interesting viewing, especially if they adopt inspiration from other real-life events such as Watergate (1972), where President Nixon’s staff attempted to cover up their connection to the break-in at Democratic National Committee headquarters.
A new murder mystery series is coming to Netflix! Knives Out II will be set in London and could feature actors from Knives Out I, such as James Norton, who played detective Jack Shaw or Jodie Comer, who played Sarah Kennedy.
Knives Out 2 trailer: Any Knives Out 2 footage yet?
We don’t have any footage yet of Knives Out 2, but we’d hope that when filming starts, we might get some first-looks at the cast in action. That might just be wishful thinking on our part, though.
Otherwise, we probably won’t see any footage from the movie until some point in 2022.
