Daniel Craig Returns as Benoit Blanc in Wake Up Dead Man Knives Out 3

Daniel Craig will return as private detective Benoit Blanc in Wake Up Dead Man, the third installment of Rian Johnson's Knives Out series, which the streamer and studio say will open in select theaters on November 26 before streaming globally on Netflix on December 12. The mystery, set in a small hamlet in New York's Hudson Valley near Sleepy Hollow, will receive an early festival rollout, with screenings scheduled in Toronto in early September and at the BFI London Film Festival in October.

Johnson's film brings Blanc to a tightly knit religious community after a "sudden and seemingly impossible" death upends parish life, according to the production. Josh O'Connor plays Rev. Jud Duplenticy, a young priest sent to assist the charismatic Monsignor Jefferson Wicks, played by Josh Brolin. Daniel Craig's Blanc is joined by an ensemble cast including Glenn Close as parishioner Martha Delacroix, Mila Kunis as local police chief Geraldine Scott, Jeremy Renner as Dr. Nat Sharp, Kerry Washington as Vera Draven, Andrew Scott as bestselling author Lee Ross, Cailee Spaeny as cellist Simone Vivane, Daryl McCormack as Cy Draven and Thomas Haden Church as groundskeeper Samson Holt.
