Knives Out was one of the most well received and most entertaining films of recent years, with an Agatha Christie-style murder mystery starring a wildly entertaining ensemble cast. Daniel Craig was magnificent as the detective Benoit Blanc. As with anything that’s remotely successful in Hollywood these days, a sequel is sure to follow. Writer/director Rian Johnson once again has assembled an incredible cast of characters with Craig returning as Detective Blanc to solve another killing. This time the mystery is very much a busman’s holiday for us tech fans – it’s about a tech billionaire and his eclectic group of friends. Starring this time around is Edward Norton, Janelle Monáe, Dave Bautista, Kathryn Hahn, Leslie Odom Jr, Kate Hudson (returning as fashionista Birdie Jay), Jessica Henwick, and Madelyn Cline. The comedy mystery had a brief run in cinemas in the UK, but is now scheduled for its streaming arrival. Here’s how to watch Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery online from the comfort of your home (with an optional glass of mulled wine).
