The much-awaited first trailer for the third film in Rian Johnson’s detective movie series titled “Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery” has been unveiled, offering a sneak peek at its illustrious ensemble. Continuing from 2019’s “Knives Out” and 2022’s “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery,” the new film finds Daniel Craig reprising his role as private detective Benoit Blanc. In this installment, Blanc travels to the village of Chimney Rock to probe into the mysterious murder of the charming priest Jefferson Wicks portrayed by Josh Brolin, one of many distinguished actors featured in the “Knives Out” sequel’s roster.
Johnson had previously announced plans for a third installment in the Knives Out franchise before the release of Glass Onion. Now, with Wake Up Dead Man set to hit theaters on November 26, 2025, and arrive on Netflix on December 12th, an official teaser trailer offers a sneak peek into the upcoming mystery. The trailer highlights detective Benoit Blanc’s partnership with Josh O’Connor’s Reverend Jud Duplenticy as they interrogate characters played by Glenn Close, Jeremy Renner, Mila Kunis, Kerry Washington, Andrew Scott, Cailee Spaeny, Daryl McCormack, and Thomas Haden Church (via YouTube).
What to Expect From Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery
Both “Knives Out” and “Glass Onion” boast star-studded ensembles, and the upcoming film “Wake Up Dead Man” is continuing this stellar tradition for the highly acclaimed franchise. “Wake Up Dead Man” is anticipated to be the most ominous and gritty installment in the movie series to date, with its Gothic backdrop of Chimney Rock, the church, and the cemetery offering a spookier and potentially more profound atmosphere compared to previous releases. However, early feedback suggests that “Wake Up Dead Man” will also be the most whimsical installment in the series yet, which heightens our anticipation for the next sequel.
At present, “Wake Up Dead Man” boasts a remarkable 96% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes, trailing slightly behind the original “Knives Out’s” 97%, and surpassing “Glass Onion’s” 91%. All three films are exceptional in their own right. Critics have praised “Wake Up Dead Man” for its abundance of innovative ideas, calling it one of Rian Johnson’s finest screenplays. They also commend the chemistry between Craig and O’Connor, asserting that the cast is electrifying, and the film has impressive and captivating cinematography. This indicates a fantastic new installment in the “Knives Out” series.
It’s clear that both Johnson and Craig aim to produce more films in the “Knives Out” series as long as they are part of it, which means “Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery” won’t be the last film in this franchise. Fans can expect an exceptionally gripping journey for Benoit Blanc and a unique, enthralling tale, making the upcoming release dates highly anticipated. The trailer for “Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery” has certainly added fuel to our excitement!
