John Krasinski is officially returning to the franchise that catapulted him to A-list director status. Krasinski will write and direct A Quiet Place Part III, with Paramount setting a summer release date of July 9, 2027.
No cast is set, but the first two installments were led by Emily Blunt, Krasinski’s-real life wife, with children played by Millicent Simmonds and Noah Jupe. Krasinski starred in the first film, released in 2018, and had a cameo in the second installment, which bowed in 2021.
Krasinski and Paramount have been flirting with the threquel for some time. The filmmaker announced in 2022 that the film was targeting a 2025 release, but that did not come to fruition. In the interim, he directed IF for the studio.
The franchise, which originated from a script by Scott Beck and Bryan Woods, has grossed more than $900 million globally across three films — two Krasinski-directed Quiet Place films, and the spinoff A Quiet Place: Day One, from filmmaker Michael Sarnoski.
The films take place in a world in which alien monsters have crashed on Earth. While they are blind, they are sensitive to sound, and will kill anything that makes noise.
Krasinski and Allyson Seeger’s Sunday Night Production will produce via their first look with Paramount, along with Platinum Dunes.
More to come.
