The series' previous film, Glass Onion, had an unprecedented $450 million deal with Netflix.

Rian Johnson's upcoming addition to the Knives Out series continues to expand its impressive cast with the addition of Mila Kunis, who will join Daniel Craig in Netflix's Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery.

She joins a fresh ensemble including Josh O’Connor, Kerry Washington, Jeremy Renner, Glen Close, Cailee Spaeny, and Andrew Scott, alongside Daniel Craig reprising his role as detective Benoit Blanc in the Rian Johnson-directed film.

Johnson wrote the screenplay and will produce alongside his producing partner Ram Bergman.
