Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery | Date Announcement | Netflix
Netflix has unveiled a teaser for Wake Up Dead Man, the third installment in Rian Johnson’s acclaimed Knives Out series. Daniel Craig returns as the inimitable detective Benoit Blanc, whose southern drawl and razor-sharp instincts now face a case “unlike any he’s ever encountered.” While the teaser offers no plot details or cast appearances, its monochrome visuals and voiceover narration hint at a more haunting tone. “In the beginning, there was death,” Blanc states gravely—suggesting a story rooted in resurrection, deception, and possibly darker themes than the previous entries. With the film slated for a 2025 release, speculation is swirling over who will join the ensemble this time. As the detective dons his iconic white suit once again, audiences can expect Rian Johnson to twist the murder mystery formula into something thrillingly unexpected.
