Scott, O’Connor &  Cailee onboard for Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery

Netflix has revealed the first cast members that will join Daniel Craig in the highly anticipated third part of the Knives Out trilogy, Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery.
Andrew Scott, Josh O’Connor, and Cailee Spaeny head the new lineup. Scott, best known for his frightening depiction of Moriarty in Sherlock, lends his talents to the Benoit Blanc universe. O’Connor, who recently played Patrick in The Challengers and Prince Charles in The Crown, and Spaeny, who most recently appeared in Sofia Coppola’s Priscilla, complete the initial cast announcement.
Rian Johnson, the writer and director, used his social media platform to reveal the title of the upcoming picture as well as the names of its initial cast members. Fans are buzzing with conjecture about the plot, the setting, and the possibility of other surprise castings.
Knives Out, which was released in 2019, became a critical and economic success, with praise for its clever writing, sharp social commentary, and all-star ensemble cast. The sequel, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022), extended the franchise’s success on Netflix. Wake Up Dead Man promises to be another star-studded affair, keeping the series’ tradition alive. While no release date has been set, production is allegedly ongoing. While details regarding their roles are kept under wraps, one thing is certain: with Craig repeating his role as the eccentric and brilliant Benoit Blanc, Wake Up Dead Man promises another intriguing whodunit thriller.
