"So, on the eve of Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery arriving on the streaming service, Netflix has released "Forks Out," a new sketch in which Detective Beignet Blanc - obviously riffing on Daniel Craig 's signature role as Benoit Blanc - arrives just in time to solve a dastardly crime: Who ate Cookie Monster's triple berry pie?"
"Sadly, Wake Up Dead Man director Rian Johnson recently told The Hollywood Reporter that he had no plans to make that happen, because "I love and respect Muppet movies too much, and also Benoit Blanc movies. They're so different. The reality is, if you put Muppets in a Benoit Blanc movie, it would feel totally wrong because they would be getting murdered.""
Netflix released a Sesame Street sketch titled "Forks Out" featuring Detective Beignet Blanc, a kid-friendly riff on Benoit Blanc, to solve who ate Cookie Monster's triple berry pie. The sketch leverages modern pop-culture riffs and corporate synergy ahead of Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery arriving on the streaming service. Fans continue to hope for a crossover between the real Benoit Blanc and Muppets, but the film's director has no plans to combine them, citing respect for both and a tonal mismatch because the Muppets would be getting murdered. Wake Up Dead Man premieres on Netflix December 12 and ranks high on Best Movies of 2025 lists.
