Rian Johnson’s eagerly awaited Knives Out sequel will close the 66th BFI London Film Festival this October.
Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery will receive its European Premiere on Sunday 16 October at the Southbank Centre in the Royal Festival Hall, ahead of its UK cinema cinema release and subsequent launch on Netflix.
Rian Johnson, and stars Daniel Craig, Edward Norton, Janelle Monáe, Leslie Odom Jr., Kate Hudson and Madelyn Cline will be in attendance with other names to be confirmed. There will also be simultaneous preview screenings of Knives Out 2 taking place at additional cinemas across the UK.
In the follow-up to Rian Johnson’s 2018 Knives Out, Daniel Craig reprises the role of master sleuth, Detective Benoit Blanc, this time travelling to Greece to peel back the layers of a mystery involving a new cast of suspects.
The first outing earned Johnson an Academy Award nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay.

“I’m thrilled to be back at LFF with Glass Onion, and it’s an honour to be closing the festival. A proper whodunnit really does belong in London, so it feels a bit like coming home!” said Rian Johnson.
Tricia Tuttle, BFI London Film Festival Director, added: “Knives Out was a major hit when we hosted the European Premiere at the Festival in 2019. Our audiences adored the film’s wit and that it tipped its very stylish hat to the wonderful tradition of British onscreen sleuths. And here, Rian Johnson strikes gold again with the help of the year’s hottest ensemble cast. Like its predecessor, Glass Onion is entertaining and culturally literate in equal measure, making some hilarious, razor sharp observations about the world we live in. The European Premiere of the Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery will bring the house down as the Closing Gala of the 66th BFI London Film Festival!”
The 66th BFI London Film Festival, in partnership with American Express, takes place from October 5 – 16 October, 2022.
