Daniel Craig’s Benoit Blanc makes a triumphant return in “Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery,” the highly anticipated third installment in the beloved whodunnit series. Blanc, with his unmistakable foghorn drawl, is back on the case, investigating a fresh set of suspects in a gripping new mystery.
The star-studded cast includes Josh O’Connor as a young priest, Josh Brolin as a fiery monsignor, Glenn Close as a devout parishioner, Jeremy Renner as the no-nonsense town doctor, and Kerry Washington as a determined attorney. As the community is rocked by an impossible murder, Blanc teams up with police chief Mila Kunis to unravel the truth.
The film, “Knives Out 3,” was released in select theaters on November 26, 2025. Director Rian Johnson explained that the movie would have a limited theatrical distribution, with screenings at Landmark, Alamo, and other chains. While the movie will be available to stream on Netflix starting December 12, 2025, it may continue to play in theaters if there is demand.
Despite its eventual Netflix release, “Knives Out 3” is a must-see on the big screen, with the potential for an extended theatrical run beyond the streaming date. Johnson’s past film, “Glass Onion,” only had a one-week theatrical release to build excitement for its Netflix debut. So, for fans eager to catch the movie in theaters, it’s best to do so before December 12.
“Knives Out 3” is a Netflix original movie, exclusively available on the platform. While the run-time of 144 minutes makes it the longest in the series, offering a thrilling viewing experience for fans of the franchise. And while the future of the series remains uncertain, Johnson hints at the possibility of more “Knives Out” movies to come.
As we eagerly anticipate the release of “Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery” on Netflix, it’s clear that the legacy of this beloved franchise is far from over. Stay tuned for more twists, turns, and thrilling mysteries from the world of Benoit Blanc.
