Have your knives been away lately? It’s almost time to pull them back out!!! Knives Out was a fun whodunit hit back in 2019, and the sequel Glass Onion became a pandemic favorite for Netflix. Now, a third mystery is on the way, and Benoit Blanc is ready to solve some crime the only way he knows how: by being very stylish.
Writer/director Rian Johnson announced that the third installment in the franchise is called Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery and it will be released in 2025 on the streamer. Unfortunately for Johnson, the “Knives Out” portion is still in there
The teaser features a voiceover from Blanc himself and his unmistakable accent: “In the beginning, the knives came out. And then behold, the glass shattered. But my most dangerous case yet is about the be revealed.”
