The first preview for "Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery" was released over the weekend, and while it doesn't give away much, it is clear that we're in for another fun ride.

Give it a watch below, and let me know your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.

What do we all think? I think it looks very solid, and I can't wait to watch Daniel Craig return as Benoit Blanc for his third run in the role.

He's also joined by a ridiculous amount of talent in the cast. Josh Brolin and Jeremy Renner are two of my favorite actors.

They're both great in everything they do, and now they're teaming up with Daniel Craig for another complex mystery.

Throw Mila Kunis into the mix, and we're really cooking.

If "Wake Up Dead Man" is nearly as good as the first two, then fans will definitely be in for a fun mystery with a crazy ending. Let me know your thoughts on the "Knives Out" series at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
