Netflix has released an official teaser trailer for Wake Up Dead Man, the third installment in writer-director Rian Johnson‘s Knives Out Benoit Blanc murder mystery franchise. Let’s take a look.
Daniel Craig returns as Benoit Blanc for his most dangerous case yet in the third and darkest chapter of Johnson’s murder mystery opus. Starring alongside Craig are Josh O’Connor, Glenn Close, Josh Brolin, Mila Kunis, Jeremy Renner, Kerry Washington, Andrew Scott, Cailee Spaeny, Daryl McCormack, and Thomas Haden Church.
Plot Synopsis:
Wake Up Dead Man brings Blanc to a small hamlet in leafy upstate New York, where eager young priest Jud Duplenticy (Josh O’Connor) has been sent to assist the local priest, Monsignor Jefferson Wicks (Josh Brolin). A charismatic firebrand, Wicks tends to a flock that includes Martha Delacroix (Glenn Close), Samson Holt (Thomas Haden Church), Vera Draven (Kerry Washington), Cy Draven (Daryl McCormack), Nat Sharp (Jeremy Renner), Lee Ross (Andrew Scott), and Simone Vivane (Cailee Spaeny).
After a seemingly impossible murder rocks the town, local police chief Geraldine Scott (Mila Kunis) joins forces with Blanc to unravel a mystery that pushes the boundaries of both faith and reason. But as Blanc puts it, “This was dressed as a miracle, it’s just a murder. And I solve murders.”
Wake Up Dead Man opens in select theaters on November 26, 2025, ahead of its Netflix debut on December 12, 2025.
