Johnson prefers to keep these notions hazy until he’s ready to sit down and write, allowing the story to evolve organically.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>Despite the excitement surrounding a possible \u003Cstrong>Knives Out 4\u003C/strong>, Johnson is in no rush. He plans to step away from the series temporarily to direct at least one original, non-franchise project first. This deliberate pause stems from his philosophy that each *Knives Out* entry should feel like a “product of its time.”\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>The films aren’t designed to be timeless classics but rather reflections of contemporary moods and shared cultural experiences — without directly commenting on specific news, politics, or events. “You can’t rush that,” Johnson explained, noting that the creative process requires time to absorb and respond to the moment.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>The \u003Cstrong>Knives Out\u003C/strong> franchise has become one of modern cinema’s most successful mystery series. It kicked off with the 2019 original, a theatrical hit written and directed by Johnson that grossed over $300 million worldwide and earned an Oscar nomination for Best Original Screenplay. Netflix then acquired the rights to two sequels in a landmark $469 million deal in 2021.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>The second film, \u003Cstrong>Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery\u003C/strong>, arrived in 2022 with a star-studded ensemble including Edward Norton, Janelle Monáe, and Kate Hudson. \u003Cstrong>Wake Up Dead Man\u003C/strong> continues the tradition of fresh casts and settings, featuring new additions like Josh O’Connor, Cailee Spaeny, Andrew Scott, and Glenn Close alongside Craig’s returning Blanc.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>Johnson’s approach has kept the series feeling innovative, with each film reinventing the Agatha Christie-inspired formula in bold new ways — from a dysfunctional family estate in the first to a tech billionaire’s private island in the second, and now a more introspective mystery in the third.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cpicture class=\"image-align-right\">\u003Csource srcset=\"https://cdn.quasa.io/photos/00/image-2025-12-17t101203505.webp\" type=\"image/webp\">\u003Cimg alt=\"Rian Johnson Already Has "Kernels" of Ideas for a Fourth Knives Out Film, Even as Wake Up Dead Man Dominates Netflix\" class=\"image-align-right\" height=\"169\" src=\"https://cdn.quasa.io/photos/00/image-2025-12-17t101203505.jpg\" width=\"300\" />\u003C/picture>Fans can rest assured that Benoit Blanc will return eventually, complete with his signature drawl and sharp intellect. But for now, even Johnson admits the timeline remains uncertain: “Benoit Blanc will be back,” he’s promised in the past, though the “when” and “how” are still taking shape in those early, smoldering ideas.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>As \u003Cstrong>Wake Up Dead Man\u003C/strong> climbs Netflix’s Top 10 charts just a week into its streaming run, the future of the franchise looks brighter than ever — even if Johnson is wisely giving himself room to breathe before pulling out the knives again.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Also read:\u003C/strong>\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cul>\n\t\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https://quasa.io/ru/media/echoes-of-the-machine-age-nine-realities-shaping-our-post-labor-world\">Echoes of the Machine Age: Nine Realities Shaping Our Post-Labor World\u003C/a>\u003C/li>\n\t\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https://quasa.io/media/why-cypherpunks-will-win-the-dawn-of-post-bureaucracy\">Why Cypherpunks Will Win: The Dawn of Post-Bureaucracy\u003C/a>\u003C/li>\n\t\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https://quasa.io/media/from-optional-add-on-to-essential-extension-the-rise-of-ai-subscriptions-as-cyborg-upgrades\">From Optional Add-On to Essential Extension: The Rise of AI Subscriptions as Cyborg Upgrades\u003C/a>\u003C/li>\n\t\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https://quasa.io/media/interesting-ways-to-get-your-business-more-leads\">Interesting Ways to Get your Business more Leads\u003C/a>\u003C/li>\n\u003C/ul>\n\n\u003Cp>Author: \u003Ca href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/in/slava-vasipenok/\">Slava Vasipenok\u003C/a>\u003Cbr />\nFounder and CEO of QUASA (quasa.io) - Daily insights on Web3, AI, Crypto, and Freelance.
