in its challenge to the crime solving detective.

Where Knives Out rested in autumnal foliage and Glass Onion in sun-soaked Greece, the trailer for Wake Up Dead Man teases a moodier atmosphere of warm browns and wet greens, punctured by shots of deep blood-red light spilling into a cavernous chapel. Also depicted in the trailer is Johnson’s directing style embracing more extreme angles with close-ups of Craig as deep gold sunlight washes over his face and Josh Brolin in priest garb filmed underneath at an extremely low, titled angle as statues of angels tower over him. Most unnerving is the penultimate shot of new footage shown, capturing Josh O’Connor stabbing towards the camera with a murderous look. But knowing the previous films, it is likely that things are not as simple as they appear.

Wake Up Dead Man is set to release on December 12, 2025 on Netflix. Check out the announcement trailer below.
