Per Netflix, the ending of the second film, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, “could also be seen as a beginning.” However, the platform only provided a vague description of the storyline.
“That’s right, Daniel Craig is back as the suave Southern investigator in Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, a new installment of the whodunnit franchise written and directed by Rian Johnson,” Netflix revealed. “Blanc will be unraveling a brand-new murder mystery in an as-yet-undisclosed setting, surrounded by a new colorful cast of suspects.”
Rian also dropped a teaser clip to X (formerly known as Twitter) on May 24, 2024. “The next Benoit Blanc mystery, the follow-up to Knives Out and Glass Onion, is called Wake Up Dead Man,” he tweeted.
