What happens in the Knives Out and Sesame Street crossover video?

Titled as Forks Out: A Benoit Blanc Sesame Street Mystery, the crossover introduces Beignet Blanc, the puppet version of Daniel Craig‘s Benoit Blanc. In the video, he arrives to help Cookie Monster find out who devoured his triple-berry pie, with Elmo, Oscar the Grouch, and Zoe as the potential suspects.

Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery is once again written and directed by Johnson, who is also producing the project alongside Ram Bergman. For his work on 2022’s Glass Onion, the acclaimed filmmaker earned an Oscar nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay. The ensemble cast includes Craig, Josh O’Connor, Glenn Close, Josh Brolin, Mila Kunis, Jeremy Renner, Kerry Washington, Andrew Scott, Cailee Spaeny, Daryl McCormack, and Thomas Haden Church.

“Benoit Blanc returns for his most dangerous case yet in the third and darkest chapter of Rian Johnson’s murder mystery opus. When young priest Jud Duplenticy (O’Connor) is sent to assist charismatic firebrand Monsignor Jefferson Wicks (Brolin), it’s clear that all is not well in the pews,” reads the official synopsis. “Wicks’s modest-but-devoted flock includes devout church lady Martha Delacroix (Close), circumspect groundskeeper Samson Holt (Church), tightly-wound lawyer Vera Draven (Washington), aspiring politician Cy Draven (McCormack), town doctor Nat Sharp (Renner), best-selling author Lee Ross (Scott), and concert cellist Simone Vivane (Spaeny). After a sudden and seemingly impossible murder rocks the town, the lack of an obvious suspect prompts local police chief Geraldine Scott (Kunis) to join forces with renowned detective Benoit Blanc to unravel a mystery that defies all logic.”
