Early last month, we reported that Knives Out director Rian Johnson was developing a sequel that would follow the continued mystery adventures of Daniel Craig’s Foghorn Leghorn—err, Benoit Blanc. Craig was also reportedly up for a sequel, so the only catch was that Lionsgate (the studio behind the first one) had no officially given a sequel the proverbial green light. That is no longer the case, as Deadline is reporting that Lionsgate has given Johnson the go-ahead for a Knives Out sequel. Plus, Deadline says Lionsgate CEO Jon Feltheimer implied that a production date for the sequel is “imminent,” so it might even be coming sooner rather than later (assuming Johnson is happy with his script, though there’ll be some extra pressure on him in that department if Knives Out takes home the Best Original Screenplay Oscar on Sunday night).
