Daniel Craig returns as Detective Benoit Blanc in the newest Knives Out mystery trailer, and fans can't keep calm; watch
If there's one thing OTT has mastered, it's turning murder mysteries into comfort food. Knives Out — the now-iconic whodunnit series crafted by Rian Johnson — has managed to stay razor-sharp through its clever storytelling, absurdly rich characters, and the ever-charismatic presence of Daniel Craig as detective Benoit Blanc. Now, the long-awaited trailer for the third film, Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, has finally dropped, and it's everything fans had hoped for, and then some. This time, Benoit Blanc isn't just solving another murder — he's entering a whole new tone. With a slightly rugged new look and that unmistakable Southern drawl, Craig returns to anchor what appears to be a darker, more gothic entry in the franchise. As always, he's backed by an all-star cast: Josh O'Connor, Glenn Close, Josh Brolin, Mila Kunis, Jeremy Renner, Kerry Washington, Andrew Scott, Cailee Spaeny, Daryl McCormack, and Thomas Haden Church are all set to appear, adding major star power to this next mystery. The internet, as expected, had a lot to say. Reddit lit up the moment the trailer hit screens, with reactions ranging from hyped to emotional. 'Southern Gothic Knives Out? Fuck yeah I'm in,' declared one user, perfectly summing up the collective mood. Another said, 'I'm happy to see the tonal shift from movie to movie. I wasn't a fan of Glass Onion. It was a little too on the nose for me, but I recognise a lot of people enjoyed it. Hoping to enjoy the third one as much as I did the first — this trailer certainly does much more to appeal to my tastes.' One comment read, 'Love all the previous movies in this franchise; can't wait to see what they do with this one.' Another fan added, 'I'm digging the murder mystery genre lately. Between this and the Brannagh Poirot movies, I have been spoiled.' Still, perhaps the highest praise came from a fan reflecting on Daniel Craig's post-Bond career: 'Daniel Craig could do this series for the rest of his life and I wouldn't complain... love that he's found his niche so quickly after his long stint as 007. I don't think any other James Bond actor has ever found such a compelling franchise after 007 like Craig has, very impressive 👏.' Knives Out began with a simple but delightfully twisted premise: a wealthy crime novelist dies on his 85th birthday, and everyone in the family is a suspect. The 2019 original was both a tribute to Agatha Christie-style mysteries and a clever social satire, earning critical acclaim and box office success. Its sequel, Glass Onion, took Benoit Blanc to a Greek island for a tech billionaire's murder-mystery party that turns fatally real. While some fans found it too on-the-nose, others praised its playful critique of the ultra-rich and clueless. Now, with Wake Up Dead Man, it seems Johnson is once again shifting gears — taking us deeper into darker territory while maintaining the franchise's ridiculously enjoyable plotting. And thank goodness, because murder has never looked so good!

Learn more. For more information on how we test products, click here. Netflix decided to come out of the gate swinging this week, after hosting its 'Tudum 2025 Live Event' over the weekend: a celebration of all the cool shit the streaming giant has cooking. While there were a few live music performances, and celebrity cameos, we're all actually interested in what the streaming brand is bringing us this year – and next. Thankfully, it came with the goods. We got new trailers for a bunch of Netflix's biggest series, as well as release dates for several of its major projects—from the long-awaited Happy Gilmore 2, to a brand-new rendition of Frankenstein. So let's not waste anymore time—here's all the big trailers and release date Netflix announced. 'Happy Gilmore 2' Launches July 25 Yep, everyone's favourite miscreant golfer is back on course. Netflix has given us our first proper look at the upcoming sequel this week, as well as dropping a release date bombshell: it's coming next month. Now set to release 25 July, 2025, Adam Sandler's Netflix-backed Happy Gilmore 2 looks every bit as irreverent as the original, if not a bit more formulaic. Fans of the classic movie will be glad to see quite a few returning faces—including Shooter McGavin, played perfectly as always by Christopher McDonald, as well as Happy's happy wife Virginia Venit, played by Modern Family's Julie Bowen. 'One Piece': Season 2 is Dropping in 2026 If you haven't heard on One Piece yet, what rock have you been hiding under? What is arguably one of the most influential manga of all time, which was turned into one of the most successful anime of all time, is making the jump back into live action with the second season of Netflix's One Piece adaptation. That second season is coming in 2026, Netflix announced, which is good news to every Straw Hat out there. And now we've got a good look at one of the series' most popular characters: Tony Tony Chopper, a sweet-loving reindeer that ate the human-human fruit and can speak and walk like a person. How fun! Check out the new trailer above. 'Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery' is Coming 12 December Probably the thing on this list we're most excited about, we've finally been given a good look at Rian Johnson's third Knives Out film: Wake Up Dead Man—and we got a release date! Dropping 12 December 2025, Wake Up Dead Man brings Daniel Craig back as renowned investigator Benoit Blanc as he looks to solve another 'perfect' crime. It seems Craig is one again joined by an absolute banger cast, with Josh Browlin, Mila Kunis, Jeremy Renner, Kerry Washington, Andrew Scott, and Glenn Close bringing some serious heat. If you haven't checked out either the original Knives Out, or its sequel Glass Onion, do it now. Take a Look at 'Squid Game' Season 3, Dropping 27 June After teasing that the incredibly popular Squid Game would finish with a third and final season, Netflix has given us our first look at the upcoming Season 3 with a trailer, and told us when we can expect to see the end of the game: June 27, 2025. The series follows Gi-hun through his initial dealings with the games in Season 1, and his attempt to understand and destroy the games from the inside in Season 2, and following the devastating cliffhanger ending of last season (no spoilers just yet), Season 3 is sure to kick off with a bang. 'Stranger Things' Season 5 Announces Staggered Release If you've been waited with bated breath for the end of Stranger Things, we finally, finally know when we're going to get to see what happens to the people of Hawkins—but, it's not as simple as a single release date. No, instead, we're going to get the first four episodes on 26 November, 2025, three more episodes on 25 December, 2025, and the final episode on 31 December, 2025. Yes, Christmas and New Years are Stranger Things Holidays this year. As for what you can expect from the end of this absolutely epic saga? Well, check out the new trailer above. Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein Teaser Hell yes. A new rendition of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, directed by Guillermo del Toro, starring Oscar Issac as the young scientist himself? What could be better? Well, it's coming this November. The official teaser we got is dripping with gothic charm, and looks absolutely fantastic. del Toro's characteristic style is on full display, and we honestly can't wait to see what crazy stuff he conjures later this year. I just really want him to make that At the Mountains of Madness movie he keeps talking about. An Extended First Look at 'Wednesday' Season 2, coming 6 August And finally, we got our first proper look at the highly anticipated second season of Wednesday. In fact, we got the first six minutes of the first episode, and the reveal that part 1 of the series will drop on 6 August, while part 2 will come on 3 September. Netflix really loves breaking their releases up, huh. In typical Wednesday fashion, she's taking her time tracking down her favourite childhood serial killer, relishing every minute of it. Somehow the killer is Haley Joel Osment, which actually makes it even better, and we now know Lady Gaga will be playing some role in the new season. We don't get much in the way of hints as to what season 2 will be about, but it's definitely going for a darker vibe.
