Rian Johnson Teases Fourth 'Knives Out' but Puts Original Film First

Johnson prioritizes an original film first, making any return contingent on Daniel Craig.

Overview

  • Wake Up Dead Man debuted on Netflix on December 12 after a brief theatrical run and has drawn strong reviews and significant viewership.
  • Johnson says he has only “basic, elemental” ideas for a potential fourth entry, with no script, theme, or location set and no formal green light.
  • Daniel Craig says he would return as Benoit Blanc if the next script meets his standards, and Johnson has said he will not continue without Craig.
  • The original 2019 Knives Out is spiking on multiple streamers like Prime Video and the Apple TV Store, reflecting renewed interest across platforms.
  • Streaming charts are already shifting, with FlixPatrol data reported by FandomWire showing The Great Flood temporarily edging past Wake Up Dead Man.
