Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery

Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025) is a detective thriller from writer-director Rian Johnson — watch online on iFILM. Daniel Craig is back as Benoit Blanc, the drawling Southern sleuth who has never met a locked room he couldn't crack. This time the locked room is a church.

Young priest Fr. Jud Duplenticy (Josh O'Connor) arrives to assist Monsignor Jefferson Wicks (Josh Brolin), only to find a murder that defies every rule of logic. No obvious suspect, no clean motive. Police chief Geraldine Scott (Mila Kunis) is stumped, which is exactly when Blanc steps in. The ensemble grows fast: attorney Vera Draven (Kerry Washington), the inscrutable Lee Ross (Andrew Scott), and Dr. Nat Sharp (Jeremy Renner) — alongside Glenn Close, Cailee Spaeny, and Jeffrey Wright. Religion, parish secrets, and a town with buried history make this the most theologically ambitious entry in the franchise.

The third Knives Out film landed on Netflix with a $210 million budget and a tight 140-minute runtime. Johnson world-premiered it at TIFF 2025. Stream Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025) in full on iFILM.
