Suspense Builds for Wake Up Dead Man: A New Chapter in the Knives Out Mystery Series

Excitement is building as Netflix reveals new details about the upcoming installment in the popular Knives Out series. Confirmed as Awaken the Deceased: A Knives Out Puzzle, this third film marks the comeback of Daniel Craig in the character role of Detective Benoit Blanc. Scheduled for release in 2025, Netflix has provided a sneak peek through a behind-the-scenes image showcasing Blanc in a church alongside a character portrayed by Josh O'Connor. While further information remains limited, anticipation continues to grow.

This installment will feature Blanc as he investigates a fresh murder mystery set in a yet-to-be-revealed location. A vibrant cast of new suspects will join him on this thrilling journey. Netflix has hinted that the details surrounding Blanc's next adventure are closely guarded, possibly linked to a coffin highlighted in the film's brief teaser. In a reflective voice-over, Blanc mentions that this case may be his most perilous challenge yet, leaving fans eager to see how events unfold.

Although Netflix has not officially confirmed specific release plans, it appears that Awaken the Deceased: A Whodunit in the Knives Out Series may follow the pattern established by its predecessor, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, with a debut on the streaming platform near the year's end as part of their holiday offering. It remains unclear if the film will receive a theatrical run before its streaming release, a prospect that Craig has expressed interest in, but filming was completed in the summer of 2024, indicating strong progress for the project.
