John Krasinski is heading back to the eerie, silent world of A Quiet Place, confirming he will write and direct the third installment in the hit horror franchise. The actor-filmmaker shared the exciting update on social media, revealing that A Quiet Place Part III is officially in development and slated for release in July 2027 by Paramount.
Krasinski first launched the franchise in 2018 with a suspenseful, critically acclaimed debut that redefined modern horror. He followed it up with a successful sequel in 2020, though he stepped away from the director’s chair for 2024’s spin-off, A Quiet Place: Day One, which was helmed by Michael Sarnoski. Now, he’s back to take the reins of the main storyline.
Though no casting details have been confirmed, fans are already speculating about the return of his wife, Emily Blunt, who anchored the first two films with powerful performances. Millicent Simmonds and Noah Jupe, who played the children in the previous entries, may also reprise their roles. Krasinski’s own character, Lee Abbott, met a tragic end in the first film, but his behind-the-scenes role remains crucial to the franchise’s vision.
Set in a post-apocalyptic world where blind, sound-sensitive alien creatures hunt anything that makes noise, A Quiet Place has captivated audiences with its unique storytelling and intense atmosphere. The franchise has earned over $900 million globally and built a loyal fanbase drawn to its high-stakes silence.
Back in 2022, Krasinski teased that Part III was in early development, originally eyeing a 2025 release. Though delayed, the project is now full steam ahead with a confirmed release date.
In past interviews, Krasinski has spoken fondly about working with Emily Blunt on the films. He once joked that he nearly put their marriage “on the line” during the filming of a dangerous stunt in Part II involving a speeding bus. Despite the risks, he called her “the most tremendous actress of our time” and praised her as a creative partner behind the scenes.
Now, as fans await what could be the most intense chapter yet, Krasinski’s return signals that A Quiet Place Part III will stay true to the gripping, emotional, and edge-of-your-seat tone that made the series a global phenomenon.
