Josh O’Connor has joined the cast of Knives Out 3.

The actor, who starred alongside Zendaya and Mike Faist in A24’s Challengers earlier this year, will feature alongside Daniel Craig in the third Knives Out movie.

It’s already got an official title: Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery . The previous film in the series is 2022’s Glass Onion, which saw Craig’s dogged detective Benoit Blanc attempt to solve a mystery at the luxurious mansion of Edward Norton’s tech mogul.

Writer/director Rian Johnson usually stuffs his Knives Out movies with an all-star cast, so expect to see a lot more names joining the production.

Speaking of which, Cailee Spaeny has also signed up to appear in the film, after her standout roles this year in Priscilla and Civil War.

Netflix acquired the rights to three Knives Out films in a record-setting deal worth $450 million. Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery is set to enter production next month, ready for release on Netflix sometime in 2025.
