Good news!Two sequels to Rian Johnson's crime comedy A knives drawn will be released on Netflix. Daniel Craig will reincarnate Detective Benoît Blanc, who parodied the famous Hercule Poirot from Agatha Christie's novels.

In 2019, it was a surprise success. Today, A knives drawn will become a real film franchise! The crime comedy by Rian Johnson (Star Wars: The Last Jedi), conceived as a tribute to Agatha Christie's novels, starred Daniel Craig in the role of the brilliant detective Benoît Blanc with a rather atypical personality. As a reminder, the plot of the feature film revolved around a family suspected of being involved in the death of their patriarch, Harlan Thrombey (played by Christopher Plummer), a world-famous bestselling author. In his investigation, detective Benoît Blanc was assisted by Marta (played by Ana de Armas), the nurse of the deceased.
