Andrew Scott and Josh O’Connor cast in Knives Out 3
Andrew Scott and Josh O’Connor have joined the cast of Knives Out 3. The third instalment in the murder mystery franchise, sub-titled Wake Up Dead Man, is set to premiere on Netflix in 2025.
Directed by Rian Johnson, the film will see the return of Daniel Craig as master detective Benoit Blanc as he takes on a new case.
In similar vein to its predecessors, Wake Up Dead Man will boast an ensemble supporting cast with O’Connor, Scott and Priscilla‘s Cailee Spaeny, with more stars to be confirmed.
Before announcing the title of the threequel, Johnson said in a statement: “I love everything about whodunits, but one of the things I love most is how malleable the genre is. “There’s a whole tonal spectrum from Carr to Christie, and getting to explore that range is one of the most exciting things about making Benoit Blanc movies.” The firstfilm (2019), co-starring Chris Evans, Toni Collette, Ana De Armas, Jamie Lee Curtis, Michael Shannon, Don Johnson and Lakeith Stanfield, received universal acclaim and an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay.
