Shhhhhhh... Here's Everything We Know About 'A Quiet Place: Day One'
Fans of A Quiet Place can (silently) rejoice! The latest installment of the franchise is on its way.
A Quiet Place: Day One will hit the big screen next year, following the massive success of A Quiet Place (2018) and A Quiet Place Part II (2021). John Krasinski, who directed and appeared in both films, shared a preview at CinemaCon in April—and the hype has only grown since then.

Praised by critics and fans, the first film was even lauded by horror maestro Stephen King.

What is A Quiet Place: Day One about?
Unlike the first two films, A Quiet Place: Day One doesn’t follow the Abbott family. Instead, it focuses on Nyong’o’s character in New York City. There, she must work through the first moments of the alien invasion in the notoriously loud city. The movie features the same creatures as the first two films: an alien species that hunts humankind by sound.
Is A Quiet Place: Day One a prequel?
A Quiet Place: Day One is a spinoff prequel to A Quiet Place and A Quiet Place Part II. Both of the previously released films take place after the alien invasion (although the beginning of A Quiet Place Part II shows a flashback to the Abbott family during the initial invasion).
Will there be any other A Quiet Place movies?
A Quiet Place: Part III is slated for release in 2025, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Krasinski made the announcement last year and no additional details have been revealed.
Is John Krasinski in A Quiet Place: Day One?
It is unclear whether John Krasinski will appear in A Quiet Place: Day One. While the first two Quiet Place films were written and directed by Krasinski, who also had a major role in the first film and a minor role in the second, this prequel was written and directed by Michael Sarnoski. That being said, Krasinski still has a "story by" credit and serves as a producer on the film. Since this is a prequel, his character could appear in a cameo, but it seems unlikely that he'd have a larger role.
Is Emily Blunt starring A Quiet Place: Day One?
While Krasinski's wife Emily Blunt starred in both of the original Quiet Place films, she is not the star of this prequel. She may appear in a small cameo, but she is not the lead.
Is John Krasinski directing A Quiet Place: Day One?
Although Krasinski directed the first two movies, he is not directing A Quiet Place: Day One (but he is still attached as a producer and credited for the story). Krasinski has passed the directorial baton to Michael Sarnoski. Sarnoski is best known for his work as writer and director of Pig (2021), starring Nicolas Cage.
