Look out, Benoit Blanc fans, the title for the Knives Out threequel has been revealed: Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery.

The official title for the third installment is “Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery.” This sequel will be the second of the trilogy to be released directly on Netflix and is expected to debut on the streaming platform in 2025. The director announced the title via a suitably fun social media post swiftly followed by the streamer’s official title reveal. Check out the reveal below.
THREEQUEL
“In the beginning, the knives came out. Then, behold, the glass was shattered. But my most dangerous case yet is about to be revealed,” narrates Daniel Craig in the 45-second video, referencing the first two titles of the murder mystery franchise, 2019’s “Knives Out” and 2022’s “Glass Onion.”
RELEASE
The Wake Up Dead Man is the last movie in Johnson’s two-movie deal with Netflix. After the agreement ends, it’s uncertain what will happen to the series. However, the first movie in the series was distributed by Lionsgate and made an impressive £312 million at the global box office. So, it’s likely that the studio would want to revive their partnership and make more money from loyal fans. At the time of this writing, the third movie’s plot remains a mystery, known only to a select few. However, with Rian Johnson again at the helm of this murder mystery, a thrilling third installment is almost inevitable.
Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery will release on Netflix sometime in 2025.
