will there be a knives out 4

Right now there is no official confirmation of a Knives Out 4 – only that the series was structured to allow more Benoit Blanc mysteries beyond the third film.

What’s officially known

  • There are three movies so far: Knives Out (2019), Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022), and Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025), which is the third film.
  • Wake Up Dead Man is described as the “third” installment, not the last, which keeps the door open for further sequels.

Rian Johnson’s intentions

  • Writer‑director Rian Johnson has repeatedly talked about Benoit Blanc stories as if they were a continuing series, comparing them to separate mystery novels, each a standalone case.
  • That “new novel every time” mindset suggests he is creatively interested in doing more beyond three, even if Knives Out 4 has not been greenlit or dated yet.

Likelihood vs confirmed reality

  • Netflix bought a multi‑film deal for Benoit Blanc mysteries, and the success of the first three films on streaming and in limited theatrical runs makes more entries commercially attractive.
  • However, as of early 2026, there is no announced title, cast, production start, or release date for a fourth film, so anything about Knives Out 4 is speculation, not confirmed news.

Forum and fan chatter

  • Fan communities are already joking about and inventing hypothetical titles for a “next Knives Out” installment, showing strong audience appetite for a fourth film.
  • These conversations are fun temperature checks of fan interest, but they are not evidence that a studio has officially ordered or scheduled Knives Out 4.

Bottom line: a fourth Knives Out movie is very plausible given the franchise’s success and Johnson’s interest in continuing Benoit Blanc’s stories, but it has not been officially announced or dated yet.
