Netflix shares new trailer for Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery

November 17, 2025 by Amie Cranswick

With less than a month to go until Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery lands on Netflix, the streamer has released another trailer for writer-director Rian Johnson’s newest Benoit Blanc whodunnit.

The third instalment in the murder mystery franchise sees Daniel Craig’s renowned detective return for his most dangerous case to date, when he teams up with a young priest (Josh O’Connor) to investigate a murder at a small-town church with a dark history.

Joining Craig and O’Connor in the cast are Glenn Close, Josh Brolin, Mila Kunis, Jeremy Renner, Kerry Washington, Andrew Scott, Cailee Spaeny, Daryl McCormack, and Thomas Haden Church; watch the trailer below…

Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) returns for his most dangerous case yet in the third and darkest chapter of Rian Johnson’s murder mystery opus. When young priest Jud Duplenticy (Josh O’Connor) is sent to assist charismatic firebrand Monsignor Jefferson Wicks (Josh Brolin), it’s clear that all is not well in the pews. Wicks’s modest-but-devoted flock includes devout church lady Martha Delacroix (Glenn Close), circumspect groundskeeper Samson Holt (Thomas Haden Church), tightly-wound lawyer Vera Draven, Esq. (Kerry Washington), aspiring politician Cy Draven (Daryl McCormack), town doctor Nat Sharp (Jeremy Renner), best-selling author Lee Ross (Andrew Scott), and concert cellist Simone Vivane (Cailee Spaeny). After a sudden and seemingly impossible murder rocks the town, the lack of an obvious suspect prompts local police chief Geraldine Scott (Mila Kunis) to join forces with renowned detective Benoit Blanc to unravel a mystery that defies all logic.

Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery arrives on Netflix on December 12th.
