Detective Benoit Blanc&mdash;played by an enigmatic, bearded Daniel Craig&mdash;is officially back on the case.

Just in time for the peak movie and TV viewing season, a new installment in the Knives Out cinematic universe is arriving. Wake Up Dead Man will be the third installment in director, writer, and producer Rian Johnson's buzzy mystery movie series.&nbsp;
Witty, fast-paced, and set up like a cinematic game of Clue, the&nbsp;Knives Out&nbsp;movies are beloved by fans across the world for the ingenious, exhilarating plots and undeniable entertainment that they boast. Wake Up Dead Man comes after <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/glass-onion-knives-out-2-mystery-netflix-details-cast-trailer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Glass Onion</a> and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/all-the-style-to-expect-from-knives-out-3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Knives Out</a>, and though each film features Detective Benoit Blanc, they're all suitable as standalone watches&mdash;no prerequisite viewing required.

It wouldn't be a&nbsp;Knives Out&nbsp;movie without Detective Blanc on the case, so fear not, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/luca-guadagnino-queer-new-film-daniel-craig" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Daniel Craig</a> reprises his role as the now-iconic, Southern-drawling sleuth. Accompanying Craig is a standout group of actors&mdash;to be expected, at this point, from&nbsp;Knives Out&mdash;including Mila Kunis, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/andrew-scott-movies-tv-shows-fleabag-sherlock" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Andrew Scott</a>, Glenn Close, Josh O'Connor (taking on another role as a priest, after his portrayal of Mr. Elton in Emma), <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/kerry-washington-video-scandal-olivia-pope-netflix-the-school-of-good-and-evil-simpson-street-production-company" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kerry Washington</a>, Josh Brolin, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/cailee-spaeny-gigi-hadid-miu-miu-runway-tips-priscilla" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cailee Spaeny</a>, Jeremy Renner, Daryl McCormack, and Thomas Haden Church.
As per usual, the plot revolves around a murder in a small town, and though Johnson's films are notorious for their twists and turns, fans are already looking toward Renner and Scott's characters as potentially guilty parties.&nbsp;
