Hollywood superstar Daniel Craig is gearing up to reprise his iconic role as the sharp-witted detective Benoit Blanc in the highly anticipated third installment of the Knives Out series, titled Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, set to hit screens in 2026.

The excitement reached new heights last week when Netflix unveiled the first official footage for Knives Out 3. The announcement was met with immense enthusiasm from fans and critics alike, promising another thrilling whodunit adventure.

The star-studded event saw Josh Brolin, Mila Kunis, Jeremy Renner, and others hyping up the crowd with playful t-shirt guns. Adding to the spectacle, Glenn Close made a special appearance via video message while Daniel Craig graced the stage in person—confirming his return as everyone's favorite Southern sleuth.

"The impossible crime," teased Craig in the newly released trailer. Describing a particularly baffling murder case at hand, he added with intrigue: "This is the Holy Grail."

The film boasts an impressive ensemble cast including Josh O'Connor (The Crown), Kerry Washington (Scandal), Andrew Scott (Fleabag), Cailee Spaeny (()()()), Daryl McCormack (Bad Sisters), and Thomas Haden Church (Sideways). Directed by Rian Johnson—who has already earned two Oscar nominations for his work on previous Knives Out films—the movie promises another masterfully crafted mystery filled with twists and turns.
