What is Knives Out 3 all about?

Officially titled Wake Up Dead Man, Knives Out 3 is the third movie in the Knives Out franchise from director Rian Johnson. The movie is expected to follow the same whodunit structure of the previous two movies, which remain some of the greatest in the genre.

While the makers have kept most of the details of the movie hidden from fans up to now, it has already been teased that this will be Blanc's most dangerous case yet. The teaser revealed a voiceover of Daniel Craig, where the detective says:

"In the beginning, the knives came out. Then, behold, the glass was shattered. But my most dangerous case yet is about to be revealed."

This refers to both the previous cases in the franchise and the upcoming one, whose exact plot details will be revealed later. The casting this time around looks like the most diverse and high-profile among any of the films in the franchise.

As with the second film in the franchise, Knives Out 3 will also be distributed through Netflix and will not have a theatrical release, as per Rian Johnson's contract with the streaming platform about the two sequels.

Glass Onion, the first of the two Netflix sequels, did get a limited theatrical release, and most expect this part to have the same trajectory.

More details about Knives Out 3 are expected to come out soon. Stay tuned for more updates.
