Rian Johnson is considering additional Benoit Blanc mysteries and is collaborating with Daniel Craig to formulate ideas for a potential next installment. Netflix contracted two Knives Out sequels, a deal that has now concluded, so future films may require a new distributor if Netflix does not continue. Wake Up Dead Man applies Southern Gothic elements to the whodunnit format. Experience with pitching shows elsewhere informs potential pathways for the franchise: studio interest and audience demand could determine whether the series moves to another platform or returns to Netflix under a new agreement.
""Creatively, I feel energized after making this one," he said. "Daniel [Craig] and I are already starting to formulate ... what could the next one be if we do another one?""
""As long as audiences want to keep seeing it, and Daniel and I are still having fun making them and still feel like we can come up with stuff that feels not just fresh, but a fresh challenge for us, I think that'll translate to a new experience for the audience," Johnson said at the BFI London Film Festival this year."
