Knives Out

Knives Out is a series of American murder mystery films created by Rian Johnson, who also serves as the writer, director, and co-producer of all films. Beginning in 2019 with Knives Out, each film follows a different group of people involved in a classic whodunnit, with Benoit Blanc being the only recurring character across the 3 films. These films include a wide cast of notable actors, including Chris Evans, Ana de Armas, Edward Norton, Janelle Monáe, Josh O'Connor, and Glenn Close among others, with Johnson's closest collaborators Noah Segan and Joseph Gordon-Levitt appearing in small roles and cameos, respectively. Each film in the franchise is named after a song by a rock band from the British Isles: "Knives Out" by Radiohead, "Glass Onion" by The Beatles, and "Wake Up Dead Man" by U2.
