Detective Benoit Blanc will return for another mystery in Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery. Netflix has now released two ominous teasers for Knives Out 3, and both might have revealed the release date.
The first teaser is set to mysterious music and features brief footage of a church. The church’s bell can be heard throughout the 12-second clip. The interesting part of the teaser lies in the caption, which reads, “The wicked desire the stronghold of evildoers, but the root of the righteous endures.”
The caption is a Bible verse from Proverbs 12:12.

The setting of the second teaser is a graveyard that zeroes in on a cross. The caption reads, “The devil has gone down to you! He is filled with fury, because he knows that his time is short.” This Bible verse is Revelation 12:12.

It can’t be a coincidence that the two Bible verses come from the 12th chapter and verse. 12:12 could mean December 12. With Knives Out 3 premiering in 2025, December 12 is a Friday, the day of the week when Netflix releases its marquee original movies.
The Knives Out franchise has previously released films in Q4 of the year, meaning a December 2025 release date for Knives Out 3 makes sense. Knives Out premiered in November 2019, and Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery streamed in December 2022.
Knives Out maestro Rian Johnson returns to write, direct, and produce Wake Up Dead Man. Daniel Craig reprises his role as Blanc for the third time.
Like the previous two films, Knives Out 3 boasts a star-studded cast that includes Josh O’Connor, Glenn Close, Josh Brolin, Mila Kunis, Jeremy Renner, Kerry Washington, Andrew Scott, Cailee Spaeny, Daryl McCormack, and Thomas Haden Church.
More information about Knives Out 3 could be revealed at Netflix Tudum 2025: The Live Event. Hosted by Sofia Carson, Tudum 2025 will feature appearances from Netflix’s biggest stars as they tease upcoming movies and TV shows. Tudum could be the perfect launching pad for the Wake Up Dead Man release date. Tudum 2025 will stream live on Netflix at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on May 31.
Some of the best shots in Grok Imagine’s AI-made Odyssey don’t contain actors. Ancient landscapes stretch into the distance. Close-ups of grimy hands suggest people who have touched something rougher than a keyboard. For a few seconds, the illusion holds.

YouTube videos could soon look better without eating quite so much data, right? Thankfully, the platform plans to introduce a new video format called AV2 on its web player in early 2027, promising more efficient streaming and potentially fewer playback hiccups on slower internet connections. The big headline is a roughly 30% improvement in compression efficiency over AV1, YouTube's existing video format. That doesn't guarantee every video will use 30% less data, but it could make streaming a little easier on both internet connections and data allowances.
What is AV2, and why should viewers care?
YouTube is changing how its Home page works, giving viewers more control over what shows up there and making some of the app’s most-used sections easier to reach. Custom Feeds are now replacing the existing topic chips for eligible users, while YouTube is also testing a redesigned top bar on mobile that moves Subscriptions closer to the Home feed.
YouTube first started experimenting with Custom Feeds earlier this year, letting you type out what you wanted to watch and turning that request into its own stream of recommendations. Now, the feature is starting to look less like a side experiment and more like something YouTube actually wants people to use as part of their everyday Home page.
