Daniel Craig Back for Knives Out 3

Never fear, Benoit Blanc is here to solve yet another puzzling mystery.

Netflix has released the trailer for Rian Johnson’s “Wake Up Dead Man,” the third installment in the “Knives Out” series. The film will have a limited release in theaters on Nov. 26 as part of a two-week theatrical run before arriving on Netflix on Dec. 12.

“Wake Up Dead Man” will once again follow detective Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) as he returns for his most dangerous case yet. After a sudden and seemingly impossible murder rocks the town, a lack of suspects prompts local police chief Geraldine Scott (Mila Kunis) to team up with Blanc to unravel a mystery that defies all logic.

Josh O’Connor stars as priest Jud Duplenticy, who is sent to assist Monsignor Jefferson Wicks (Josh Brolin). Wick’s group will consist of devout churchgoer Martha Delacroix (Glenn Close), groundskeeper Samson Holt (Thomas Haden Church), lawyer Vera Draven (Kerry Washington), aspiring politician Cy Draven (Daryl McCormack), town doctor Nat Sharp (Jeremy Renner), concert cellist Simone Vivane (Cailee Spaeny) and author Lee Ross (Andrew Scott).

“Wake Up Dead Man” will be in theaters for 14 days, but in an interview with Business Insider, Johnson revealed that he was hoping for a longer theatrical window for the “Knives Out” sequel. “We’re going to push for everything we can get in terms of theatrical, because I want as many people as possible to see it in that form,” he said.
