Paramount, formerly Viacom CBS, hit us with a deluge of news today. Among said news is A Quiet Place Part III, the third installment in John Krasinski’s groundbreaking franchise that was first released in 2018.
The studio also confirmed that the currently untitled spinoff helmed by Michael Sarnoski, the director behind 2021’s cult-favorite Pig starring Nicolas Cage, is still expected to hit in 2023.

As far as A Quiet Place Part III goes, it will still be some time until we get an official synopsis on the project. However, it does feel safe to assume that the human survivors of Earth are headed towards all-out war with the creatures after the close of A Quiet Place Part II.
A Quiet Place Part III is currently credited to writers Scott Beck and Jeff Nichols, with John Krasinski still receiving a creator credit. At the time of this announcement, it is unclear who will be directing Part III for Paramount. However, given that Krasinski has directed the other two installments, it seems likely he’ll be the one to close out the trilogy.
With A Quiet Place Part II managing to gross $297 million at the beginning of the pandemic (against the first installment’s whopping $340.9 million), it’s relatively safe to assume that Paramount will release Part III in theaters only. But, given the unpredictable nature of releases over the last couple of years, it’s still anyone’s guess. Regardless of the where and how A Quiet Place Part III will hit screens sometime in 2025.
