Irish actor Andrew Scott, who has recently earned praise for his performance in the Netflix series “Ripley”, is set to join the ensemble cast of “Knives Out 3”,

The pair had previously worked together in Netflix’s “Knives Out” and “The Gray Man”.

There's no mystery as to why Knives Out deserves a sequel. The suspenseful whodunit's breakthrough at the box office in 2019, gave director Rian Johnson and star Daniel Craig, a good reason to return for Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery. Johnson received a 2020 Oscar nomination for best original screenplay for the first Knives Out, which had the potential to be an eccentric curiosity. It sparked a slight revival in the genre while subtly parodying the traditional whodunit.
