Paramount Pictures has officially announced that John Krasinski will once again helm the next chapter in the A Quiet Place saga, returning as writer and director for Part III, which is set to hit theaters on July 9, 2027.
This marks a full-circle moment for Krasinski, whose original 2018 film launched his directing career. That film, along with its 2021 sequel, became both critical and box office successes. While casting details for the third installment remain under wraps, previous entries featured Emily Blunt, Millicent Simmonds, and Noah Jupe as the surviving members of the Abbott family. Krasinski himself starred in the first film and made a brief cameo in the second.
The A Quiet Place franchise has continued to expand, most recently with the spinoff Day One, and has now grossed over $900 million worldwide. Set in a world ravaged by sound-sensitive alien predators, the series has captivated audiences with its eerie silence and surprising plot twists.
Talks of a third film have been circulating since 2022, when Krasinski first teased the idea. Initially eyed for a 2025 release, the project was delayed as he shifted focus to directing IF for Paramount. Production for Part III will be led by Krasinski’s Sunday Night Productions, in partnership with Allyson Seeger and Platinum Dunes, under a first-look deal with Paramount.
In the meantime, fans can rewatch all three A Quiet Place films, each being Certified Fresh on our Tomatometer.
