The news was announced on Twitter by Rian Johnson, the director of the original and soon to be sequel film. He announced it through a well-designed video that slowly reveals the title.
After the tweet, he discussed his inspirations for the films - mainly that which was garnered from Agatha Christie.
When I made Knives Out, that’s what excited me about the prospect of making more mysteries with Daniel as Benoit Blanc - to emulate Christie and have every film be like a whole new book, with its own tone, ambition, reason for being… and (ta dah) title.

Something I love about Agatha Christie is how she never tread water creatively. I think there’s a misperception that her books use the same formula over and over, but fans know the opposite is true.
