Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery unveils plot details and streaming date

August 22, 2022 by EJ Moreno

The Knives Out sequel is almost upon us, and now we know a little more what Rian Johnson has in store with Glass Onion.

Coming this December, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery will see Detective Benoit Blanc in Greece as he attempts to solve another murder, this time concerning a tech billionaire and his eclectic group of friends.

The logline reveals, “In the follow-up to Rian Johnson’s Knives Out, Detective Benoit Blanc travels to Greece to peel back the layers of a mystery involving a new cast of colorful suspects.”

Other details have arrived concerning the plot, which reveals the film’s central focus. The story will follow a tech billionaire (Edward Norton) who invites his nearest & dearest for a getaway on his private Greek island, but then someone turns up dead. This will obviously lead to Benoit Blanc arriving on the scene and offering up his signature style of detective work.

In a statement from Netflix, Johnson detailed the film’s title – a reference to the 1968 Beatles song of the same name.

“I’m always fishing for something fun that Blanc can grab onto as an overwrought metaphor that he can beat to death. This is all in plain sight from the very start. So, the idea of glass came to me, something that’s clear. I’ll be very honest. I literally got out my iPhone and searched my music library with the word ‘glass.’ There’s got to be some good glass songs. I was like, “Oh, is it a glass fortress? Is it a glass castle? Is it a glass man?” The first thing that came up, because I’m a huge Beatles fan, is ‘Glass Onion.'”

Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery stars Daniel Craig, Edward Norton, Janelle Monáe, Kathryn Hahn, Leslie Odom Jr., Jessica Henwick, Madelyn Cline with Kate Hudson, and Dave Bautista.

Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery will be released in select theaters on a still-to-be-announced date and globally on Netflix on December 23rd.
