In the United Kingdom, you can savor “Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery” about two months before it’s available on Netflix.

This year’s BFI London Film Festival will kick off with the highly anticipated third installment of “Knives Out” on its opening night, from October 8th to 19th, not just in London but also at various film festival venues scattered throughout the United Kingdom.

The event is scheduled for Wednesday, 8th October, at the Royal Festival Hall located at the Southbank Centre in London. In past years, the LFF gala premieres were also held as previews in cinemas nationwide across the UK; however, it’s still undecided whether this will happen in 2025.
