Get ready for another mind-bending whodunit! Netflix has officially announced the third installment of Knives Out, titled Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, set to drop in fall 2025. And yes, Daniel Craig is back as the world’s most dapper detective, Benoit Blanc!
Director Rian Johnson teased that Blanc will face his “most dangerous case yet,” leading fans to speculate—bigger stakes, darker twists? The film boasts a stacked cast, including Glenn Close, Josh Brolin, Mila Kunis, Kerry Washington, and Jeremy Renner in his first role since his life-threatening accident.
The Knives Out franchise has been a goldmine for Netflix, which shelled out a whopping $469 million for two sequels after the massive success of Glass Onion. This time, the mystery unfolds in an entirely new setting with a fresh batch of shady suspects—who’s hiding what, and who won’t make it out alive?
A cryptic teaser featuring Craig’s signature Southern drawl hints that the stakes are higher than ever. With Johnson at the helm, expect secrets, betrayals, and a whole lot of murder. Bring on the mystery!
