Overview
- Wake Up Dead Man opens in select theaters on November 26 and streams on Netflix worldwide on December 12.
- The story follows Benoit Blanc probing a seemingly impossible murder at a small Catholic parish in upstate New York, with a young priest under suspicion.
- Daniel Craig leads an ensemble that includes Josh O’Connor, Josh Brolin, Glenn Close, Mila Kunis, Jeremy Renner, Kerry Washington, Andrew Scott, Cailee Spaeny, Daryl McCormack and Thomas Haden Church.
- Rian Johnson says he and Craig are already formulating ideas for another sequel, while producers emphasize there is no overarching franchise plan and no intent to make a Benoit Blanc prequel.
- Early festival reactions have been largely positive as Johnson frames this installment as a darker, more personal exploration of faith and power, completing his two‑sequel arrangement with Netflix.
