NEED TO KNOW
John Krasinski and his sound-hunting alien terrors are coming back to the big screen.
A Quiet Place Part III will hit theaters on July 9, 2027, with Krasinski returning to direct, write and produce after helming the 2018 original and 2020 sequel. Deadline was first to break the news.
Krasinski, 45, and the franchise’s official Instagram account posted the same update on Friday, Aug. 1 to the platform: an image with only an ominous-looking “III” and “7.9.27” on it. The current reigning Sexiest Man Alive captioned his post with the movie’s release date as well.
Per franchise distributor Paramount Pictures, the new movie’s plot and cast are still being kept under wraps. The studio had initially announced back in 2022 that a third installment would arrive in 2025.

The Quiet Place series stars Krasinski’s wife Emily Blunt as Evelyn Abbott, protecting her family (including Millicent Simmonds and Noah Jupe) from a race of hostile alien creatures who hunt only via sound. A 2024 prequel, A Quiet Place: Day One, starred Lupita Nyong’o and Joseph Quinn and added Michael Sarnoski as writer and director.
The original Quiet Place was a critical and commercial smash, earning $340 million worldwide, an Oscar nomination for sound editing and a Screen Actors Guild Award for Blunt, 42. The three movies in the franchise have totaled over $900 million worldwide.

Krasinski and Blunt — who wed in 2010 and share daughters Violet and Hazel — admitted that they were initially “really nervous” about working together on screen for the first time. The Office star played Lee, husband to Blunt’s Evelyn and father of their three kids, in A Quiet Place and its follow-up.
“The truth is she’s the greatest collaborator I’ve ever worked with,” Krasinski told Entertainment Tonight in 2021. “I was just blown away and in awe,” he added.
A Quiet Place Part III will be in theaters on July 9, 2027.
