How to watch Knives Out online and stream from anywhere

Following the critical and commercial success of Knives Out in 2019, writer-director Rian Johnson recently marshalled another A-list ensemble to star in follow up Glass Onion, and audiences are understandably psyched.

But despite Netflix snapping up the rights to Glass Onion and a planned third movie, those looking to stream the first Knives Out film might be surprised to find it absent from Netflix. As a result, we've puzzled out where exactly you can watch Knives Out online in our guide below, so you can revisit the award-nominated first film before Glass Onion makes its Netflix debut on December 23.

Inspired by Agatha Christie’s detective novels, the whodunnit genre got a modern makeover in 2019 thanks to Rian Johnson, whose own head-scratching style of filmmaking (Brick, Looper) meshed perfectly with Christie’s labyrinthine plots.

Thrilling and unpredictable, Knives Out is elevated by an outstanding cast that includes Christopher Plummer as patriarch Harlan Thrombey, Ana De Armas as Marta, his Latina nurse, Halloween’s Jamie Lee Curtis, Toni Collette, and former 007 Daniel Craig as private detective Benoit Blanc.

When Harlan Thrombey is found dead the day after his 85th birthday, suspicions and insults fly, and an anonymous source hires detective Blanc to investigate. Despite appearing to be a suicide, Blanc’s interrogations reveal a strained family dynamic full of resentments, with every member of the household having sufficient motive for wanting the 85-year-old author six feet under.

Desperate to know whodunnit? Read on below, where we detail how to watch Knives Out online from anywhere.
