Rian Johnson's third installment in the Knives Out series, titled Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, is already generating buzz with a stellar cast lineup. Returning as detective Benoit Blanc is Daniel Craig, who will be joined by an impressive array of talent, including Jeremy Renner, Glenn Close, Kerry Washington, and Andrew Scott. This sequel follows the success of its predecessors, Knives Out (2019) and Glass Onion (2022), both noted for their star-studded casts and gripping mysteries. The film is set to debut on Netflix in 2025, part of a lucrative two-sequel deal with the streaming giant, valued at $469 million.

Jeremy Renner, Glenn Close, Kerry Washington, Andrew Scott, Josh O’Connor, and Cailee Spaeny have been announced as part of the cast, alongside the returning Daniel Craig.

The Knives Out series, known for its cerebral mysteries and ensemble casts, started with the original Knives Out film in 2019. Directed by Rian Johnson and featuring stars like Chris Evans and Jamie Lee Curtis, it received critical acclaim. This success prompted Netflix to secure a deal for two sequels, the first of which was Glass Onion, maintaining the tradition of big-name cast members and intricate plotlines.
