Are you wondering, is Knives Out on Netflix? Or where else you can stream the comedy whodunit film? Read this guide to find out.

Knives Out is an entertaining yet suspenseful whodunit tale that sees a detective come and investigate the mysterious death of crime novelist Harlan Thrombey. But soon, Detective Benoit Blanc has his hands full as the dysfunctional yet eccentric Thrombey family all become suspects in the case.

With a star-studded cast of Daniel Craig, Ana De Armas, Chris Evans, Jamie Lee Curtis, Christopher Plummer, and many more, it’s no surprise that this film shot to popularity after its release in 2019. 

Knives Out was a box office hit, pulling in $165 million in the US and more than $311 million worldwide.

It also went on to be nominated for Best Picture — Musical/Comedy at the 2020 Golden Globes.

A sequel called Glass Onion is now on the way and is expected to be released in late 2022. 

If you fancy giving this film a watch, or even a rewatch, you may be wondering if it’s available on Netflix and other streaming platforms.
