This is fresh air, I'm Terry Gross.

Our guest, Ryan Johnson, who wrote and directed the popular comedic murder mystery knives out,

has a new sequel called Glass Onion.

It starts streaming on Netflix December 23rd.

Ryan Johnson spoke with our producer, Sam Brigger.

Glass Onion brings back the Southern gentleman detective Benoit Blanc,

played by Dana Craig to uncover a new mystery.

has invited his closest friends, the group calls himself the disruptors

to his private island in Greece for a long weekend getaway during COVID

to play out a murder mystery game.

His invitation comes encased in a large elaborate puzzle box that each guest receives and has to solve.
