Not only is "A Quiet Place 3" in the works, but so is a spinoff prequel. "A Quiet Place: Day One," which set to hit theaters this summer, will chronicle the beginning of the invasion by terrifying alien creatures with acute sense of hearing.
Meanwhile, "A Quiet Place 3" may continue the story featuring Emily Blunt. However, it's unclear if John Krasinski will return to direct the next installment of the franchise he helped originate. Then again, the project could introduce new characters in a different location, still under siege from the same breed of marauding predators from the OG films. But, really, the jury is currently still out on what to expect.
While "A Quiet Place 3" was originally scheduled to release sometime in 2025, it has since been delayed indefinitely. Exactly why it's been delayed remains unclear, leaving fans eagerly awaiting further updates.
Here's everything we know about "A Quiet Place 3."

'A Quiet Place 3' release date window
"A Quiet Place 3" does not yet have a release date. Back in 2022, Paramount Plus revealed it was targeting a 2025 release window. Paramount Plus tweeted at the time: "The next installment of @quietplacemovie is coming next year & will be directed by Michael Sarnoski. And, #AQuietPlace Part III is coming in 2025."
Then in February, the studio announced development had been delayed indefinitely. No new release date has been announced, but with filming yet to begin, it's not likely to be any time soon.
What we do know is the release date of the prequel film "A Quiet Place: Day One," which opens in theaters on June 28, 2024. This is the "next installment" spoken of above.
'A Quiet Place 3' cast
Details are thin for "A Quiet Place 3." No cast members have been confirmed.
It's possible that the main players of "A Quiet Place 2" return: Emily Blunt as Evelyn Abbott, Millicent Simmonds as Regan Abbott, and Noah Jupe as Marcus Abbott. A flashback cameo may be made by John Krasinski as Lee Abbott.
As for "A Quiet Place: Day One," it will star Lupita Nyong’o and "Stranger Things 4" breakout star Joseph Quinn, per Deadline. The outlet also reported that Alex Wolff (Hereditary) is joining the cast.
'A Quiet Place 3' plot
Much of what happens in "A Quiet Place 3" will likely rely on how this movie interlinks with the world of the previous two films.
"A Quiet Place 2" focused on Regan Abbott's quest to find the source of a mysterious radio signal, which played "Beyond the Sea" on a strange loop. She finds an island that is actually a safe haven for humans as the aliens cannot swim; the National Guard rounded up people in the early days of the apocalyptic invasion to safely stow them away from the monsters. Except a monster does eventually arrive, because of course it does.
There are any number of places a new story could go.
Blunt told Collider that Krasinski has plenty of ideas for both a sequel to the Abbott family and for a tangential film, explaining that he “wanted to see how people responded to this one ("A Quiet Place 2") before he fully engaged his brain on the third one. But he has a couple of great ideas.”
In an interview with Empire, Krasinski teased, "Is it going to continue the Abbotts? Who knows!... No, I will tell you that it is… I’m really excited about the third installment because it’s going to do something that we haven’t done before."
Which is a lot of words to not say anything at all. That said, he did give us something real to chew on, speaking of the end of "Part 2": "The ending of the last shot is, now that the world knows about [the signal that the creatures are vulnerable to], what will the world do with this answer, or with this weapon? Will they be responsible with it, or will they not be responsible with it?”
