John Krasinski has officially announced that A Quiet Place Part III will release on July 9, 2027. The actor and filmmaker will return to direct, write, and produce the next installment in the hit horror franchise.
The news was shared by Krasinski on his Instagram, where he simply posted “III” along with the release date. Paramount Pictures later confirmed the details, revealing that production will begin under Krasinski’s Sunday Night Productions alongside Platinum Dunes.
What We Know About A Quiet Place Part III
The third film will continue the story of the Abbott family, who must survive in a world overrun by deadly aliens that hunt by sound. While no official plot details have been revealed, fans expect the movie to follow the events of A Quiet Place Part II (2021).
It is unclear if Emily Blunt, Millicent Simmonds, and Noah Jupe will return. Krasinski’s character, Lee Abbott, died in the first film, so his role may be limited to behind-the-scenes work.
The franchise has already earned over $900 million worldwide across three films:
- A Quiet Place (2018) – $341 million
- A Quiet Place Part II (2021) – $297 million
- A Quiet Place: Day One (2024) – $262 million
The 2024 spinoff, A Quiet Place: Day One, was directed by Michael Sarnoski and starred Lupita Nyong’o and Joseph Quinn. It explored the early days of the alien invasion in New York City.
John Krasinski’s Role In The Franchise
Krasinski became a major filmmaker after directing the first two A Quiet Place movies. Before that, he was best known for his role as Jim Halpert in The Office.
He also directed the family comedy IF (2024), which did not perform well at the box office. His return to horror is seen as a move back to his most successful genre.
“I had this small idea, which was to make Millie [Simmonds] the lead of the movie… her character opens the door to all the themes I was dealing with in the first movie.” – John Krasinski on his approach to the sequel.
Fan Reactions To The Announcement
The news has excited fans, though some are disappointed by the long wait until 2027. Social media reactions include:
“Finally! Been waiting for this since Part II ended. Hope Emily Blunt comes back!” – Twitter user
“2027 is too far away, but I trust Krasinski to make it worth the wait.” – Reddit comment
What’s Next For The Franchise?
Paramount is clearly invested in expanding the A Quiet Place universe. A video game, A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead, is set to release in October 2024. There are also rumors of a potential TV series, though nothing has been confirmed.
With A Quiet Place Part III, the studio hopes to continue the franchise’s success. The first film was nominated for an Oscar for Best Sound Editing, and the sequel won praise for its suspenseful storytelling.
The 2027 release date gives Krasinski plenty of time to develop the script and assemble the cast. More updates are expected in the coming months.
