A Quiet Place 3 update: John Krasinski returns to write, direct and produce famous apocalyptic franchise
While casting details remain unannounced, it is currently unknown whether Emily Blunt, Noah Jupe, and Millicent Simmonds — who starred alongside Krasinski in the original 2018 film — will reprise their roles.
Fans hoping for a full reunion of the Abbott family may be disappointed, as the studio has teased. If you don't know what happens to Krasinski's character, we won't spoil it, but don't expect a family reunion.
Plot details are being tightly guarded, with the story of the next chapter in the post-apocalyptic franchise still under wraps.
The film is scheduled to arrive in cinemas on July 9, 2027. It will be produced by Krasinski and Allyson Seeger's Sunday Night Productions — which holds a first-look deal with Paramount — in collaboration with Platinum Dunes.
Krasinski previously directed the first two entries in the Quiet Place series, which has been a massive commercial success, earning over $900 million globally. Most recently, 'A Quiet Place: Day One', a spin-off released in 2024 and directed by Michael Sarnoski, expanded the universe beyond the original storyline.
Krasinski shared the news of his return to the director's chair via Instagram, rekindling excitement among fans of the franchise.
The announcement arrives as Paramount Global, the parent company of Paramount Pictures, nears the completion of its sale to Skydance — a merger expected to finalise next week.
Although his recent family comedy 'IF' fell short at the box office, Krasinski's re-entry into horror is set to reignite interest in one of the genre's most successful recent franchises.

Regretting You trailer X review: Fans call Colleen Hoover the new Nicholas Sparks, say this can't be the future of romance films
Regretting You trailer X review: Another Colleen Hoover book is headed to the big screen. Following the buzz (and backlash) around It Ends With Us, Paramount Pictures has now dropped the official trailer for Regretting You, based on Hoover's 2019 bestseller. The romantic drama looks set to bring more heartache, secrets, and mother-daughter tension to theatres, and while Hoover fans are already locked in, some netizens feel they have seen the entire movie in the trailer. Regretting You trailer: Allison Williams and Dave Franco lead the cast in a tragic romance about love, loss, and second chances Regretting You stars Allison Williams as Morgan Grant, a young mother trying to hold it together after the sudden death of her husband, Chris (played by Scott Eastwood). McKenna Grace, known for her role as a child actor in Chris Evans' Gifted, plays Clara, her 16-year-old daughter, whose grief pulls her further away from Morgan just as they both need each other most. Enter Dave Franco as Jonah, a long-time friend who may just become more than that. The cast also includes Mason Thames, Willa Fitzgerald, and Clancy Brown. Directed by Josh Boone (The Fault in Our Stars) and written by Susan McMartin (After), the film is already being compared to Hoover's previous screen projects. Regretting You trailer X review: 'We've seen this story before' Early reactions to the Regretting You trailer are leaning negative on X (formerly Twitter). While a few fans say they're 'already crying', most feel like the trailer gives away the entire plot. Some are even calling it 'predictable' and 'too similar to every other Hoover story.' "I feel like we just watched the whole thing," one user said. "I can't explain it, but this looks so 2015," another X user commented. i can't explain it but this looks so 2015 A third user posted, "We are losing recipes…. Colleen Hoover adaptations cannot be the new norm for romance movies." we losing recipes…. colleen hoover adaptations Cannot be the new norm for romance movies "Some of the biggest stars are getting drafted to the Colleen Hoover cinematic universe, we are truly living in the worst timeline possible," a fourth user wrote. some of the biggest stars getting drafted to the colleen hoover cinematic universe we are truly living in the worst timeline possible One individual sarcastically commented, "So Colleen Hoover is the new Nicholas Sparks?" So Colleen Hoover is the new Nicholas Sparks?Also, they look like siblings. Colleen Hoover adaptations face more scrutiny after It Ends With Us controversy After the It Ends With Us fiasco, Colleen Hoover's film adaptations are under intense scrutiny. What started as a highly anticipated project turned into a high-profile legal mess when Blake Lively filed a complaint accusing co-star and director Justin Baldoni of harassment and toxic behaviour on set. Baldoni then sued Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds, and their publicist for $400 million, claiming they tried to sabotage his reputation and take control of the film. That lawsuit was tossed out by a Manhattan judge in mid-2025, but the legal battle is far from over, with a trial scheduled for early 2026. All of this has cast a shadow over Hoover's growing film universe—and fans haven't forgotten. Now, all eyes are on Verity, the next big Hoover adaptation. Directed by Michael Showalter, the psychological thriller stars Anne Hathaway as bestselling author Verity Crawford, with Dakota Johnson and Josh Hartnett also on board. The film is set to hit theatres in late 2026, and while it promises a darker, more twisted story than Hoover's past romances, viewers are already wondering whether it can avoid the chaos that followed It Ends With Us. Meanwhile, Regretting You releases in theatres on October 24!

Can you imagine The Office without John Krasinski? 5 actors who almost quit acting before their big break
What if Jim Halpert wasn't played by John Krasinski? Or Sookie St. James wasn't Melissa McCarthy? It's a Black Mirror-level thought experiment - one that reminds us how close we came to losing some of Hollywood's most iconic characters. Can you imagine The Office without John Krasinski as Jim Halpert smirking across the desk from Dwight Schrute?(x/@krasinskiupdate) Believe it or not, many of today's biggest names in film and TV once stood on the edge of giving up acting altogether. The rejections, the failed auditions, the bills - it was all becoming too much. But just before they walked away for good, fate threw them a lifeline. Here are five stars who almost quit before catching their big break: John Krasinski as Jim Halpert in the hit sitcom The Office.(x/@krasinskiupdate) John Krasinski Before becoming everyone's favorite paper salesman on The Office, Krasinski had decided to quit acting. In a now-viral story, he revealed on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert that he called his mom from New York, ready to give up and head back to Massachusetts to become an English teacher. She encouraged him to stick it out until the end of the year - and three weeks later, he booked The Office. The rest is sitcom history. Also Read | A Quiet Place Part III release date revealed, John Krasinski returns as director Melissa McCarthy as Sookie St. James in Gilmore Girls.(x/@gilmoregirlssx) Melissa McCarthy McCarthy gave herself a hard deadline: make it by 30 or move on. The week before her 30th birthday, she landed the role of Sookie on Gilmore Girls. That quirky, lovable chef launched her into the mainstream - and laid the foundation for a blockbuster comedy career. Henry Cavill as Superman in Man of Steel.(x/@Starman6986) Henry Cavill He looked the part, but casting directors told Cavill he wasn't 'a big enough name.' Dejected, he seriously considered joining the armed forces. But then a Bond screen test put him on the radar, and he was eventually cast as Superman in Man of Steel. Not bad for someone Hollywood nearly overlooked. Also Read | Man of Steel star Henry Cavill opens up about his daughter for the first time Robert Pattinson as Edward Cullen and Kristen Stewart as Bella Swan in The Twilight Saga.(x/@modytalkmovies) Robert Pattinson After what he believed was a disastrous Twilight audition, Pattinson called his parents to say he was done. The next day? A callback. Then came the global phenomenon, teen icon status, and a career that would span The Batman and beyond. Amy Adams as Giselle in Enchanted.(x/@TheCinesthetic) Amy Adams By her early 30s, Amy Adams had been grinding through auditions and indie roles with little payoff. She had just wrapped Junebug and gave herself a final push - one last round of auditions. That decision led to Enchanted, and as she filmed, Junebug earned her an Oscar nomination. From burnout to breakthrough in a heartbeat. Each of these stars stared down failure and rejection - and nearly walked away. But they stayed just a little longer. And thank god they did. Their stories are a masterclass in perseverance - and proof that sometimes, the big break is just one audition away.
