Netflix has shared the official Knives Out 3 poster for the highly anticipated next installment to Rian Johnson’s acclaimed murder mystery franchise.
“Benoit Blanc 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 (O’Connor) is sent to assist charismatic firebrand Monsignor Jefferson Wicks (Brolin), it’s clear that all is not well in the pews,” reads the official synopsis. “Wicks’s modest-but-devoted flock includes devout church lady Martha Delacroix (Close), circumspect groundskeeper Samson Holt (Church), tightly-wound lawyer Vera Draven (Washington), aspiring politician Cy Draven (McCormack), town doctor Nat Sharp (Renner), best-selling author Lee Ross (Scott), and concert cellist Simone Vivane (Spaeny). After a sudden and seemingly impossible murder rocks the town, the lack of an obvious suspect prompts local police chief Geraldine Scott (Kunis) to join forces with renowned detective Benoit Blanc to unravel a mystery that defies all logic.”
When is Knives Out 3’s theatrical release date?
Titled Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, the upcoming movie will have its world premiere at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival on September 6. It will then arrive in select theaters on November 26, followed by its streaming debut on December 12.
