There are three films in Paramount’s sci-fi horror A Quiet Place franchise – but the most recently released film, last year’s A Quiet Place: Day One, didn’t count as “A Quiet Place Part III.” That film, directed by Michael Sarnoski, was a prequel story that was set in the same world as the first two movies and had a character connection to A Quiet Place Part II, but didn’t continue the trilogy. The trilogy capper is coming our way from writer/director/producer John Krasinski, who also directed the first two movies – and filming on A Quiet Place Part III is now underway! The film is set to be released in theatres on July 30, 2027.
Krasinski and Allyson Seeger’s Sunday Night Productions are producing the film with Platinum Dunes. Sunday Night has a first-look deal with Paramount.
Back when Paramount Pictures released A Quiet Place Part II in 2020, Krasinski said he had some elements of the third film in mind while working on the script for the second. He told Collider, “I genuinely hadn’t thought about a second one when I was doing the first one. However, I really had these questions while I was doing it. I put the fires out in the distance in the first one, and I always thought to myself, ‘Wouldn’t it be cool if we got to explore where those fires lead to? Who’s on the other end of those fires?’ But I never thought that there would be a sequel. So then when I actually came around to writing the sequel, I started with the fires. And so this time, I think when my brain started wandering of questions of what would this mean later on, I started to write down notes in case I could prepare myself for a third one.”
Returning stars Emily Blunt, Cillian Murphy, Millicent Simmonds, and Noah Jupe are joined in the cast of A Quiet Place Part III by Jack O’Connell (Sinners, 28 Years Later), Jason Clarke (A House of Dynamite, The Last Frontier), and Katy O’Brian (Love Lies Bleeding, Queens of the Dead).
Filming is taking place in New York, and Krasinski took to social media to share a picture of the film slate in front of the Manhattan Bridge Arch and Colonnade in New York City’s Chinatown.
