Overview
- Wake Up Dead Man opens in select theaters on November 26 and streams on Netflix globally on December 12.
- Johnson told The Hollywood Reporter he and Daniel Craig are already starting to formulate ideas for a possible fourth movie, with no project yet confirmed.
- With this release, the 2021 two‑sequel agreement with Netflix is fulfilled, so any future Benoit Blanc film could be shopped to new buyers.
- The new mystery centers on a seemingly impossible killing at a small Catholic parish in upstate New York, with Josh O’Connor’s young priest under scrutiny and Benoit Blanc arriving after a first‑act suspects setup.
- Johnson and producer Ram Bergman say they are not planning a Benoit Blanc prequel, and Johnson calls this entry his most personal, engaging themes of faith and institutional power.
