This is one minutes Since we have heard a lot about “knife out 3”, but it seems that Netflix is finally ready to open the case widely.
After months of silence, a cryptic new teaser has dropped, and while it does not reveal too much, it certainly sets tone for some deep, stranger, and perhaps even more dangerous than the previous two films.

The title “Wake Up Dead Man: A knife out mystery”, the third installment once again follows Daniel Craig’s southern Sleith, Benoite Blanc. The only other signs we have received so far is a single, inauspicious logline: “Are you ready for the most dangerous case of Benoite Blanc?”
With the arrival of Netflix’s Tudum Live event, this mysterious teaser can just start, so do not surprise if a full trailer falls soon.
The first “knife out 3” teaser is small but seriously terrible. It opens on a depressed church and a cemetery, in which a church bell rings in a distance. Instead of extinction, sound is formed, loudly becomes more intense until the screen is cut into black.
It is paired with a cryptic caption that states: “The wicked desire has a desire for the stronghold of Evldors, but the root of the righteous ends.”
This esoteric phrase can indicate the secret of “knife out 3”. This suggests a story where power, corruption, and hidden alliances play a major role, possibly with dark mysteries or characters sticking to dangerous loyalty.
This also means that under all deceit, someone can exclude all of them (someone with integrity). In other words, it seems that Benoite Blanc is going on in a case where morality and existence are deeply entangled.
Of course, this is only an estimate based on the phrase and on the fact that Netflix has called this sequel “the most dangerous case”.
The artist of “knife out 3” is one of the most impressive attire in the franchise. Daniel Craig, of course, leads a lineup of returns, acclaimed actors. Josh O’Coner, Glenn Close, Josh Brolen, Mile Kunis, Jeremy Rainer, Kerry Washington, Andrew Scott, Callie Spunny, Derryl McCormac and Thomas Haydon Church are to join him.
Hopefully, we will not have to wait longer for a full trailer, and perhaps a release date. Director Ryan Johnson has said that he wants Netflix the third film to “put as many theaters in many theaters as much as possible”, which means that Benoite Blanc can find its way on the big screen before knowing this.
Hopefully here Netflix does not keep this secret in wrapped for a very long time … or we can start checking ourselves.
