Will there be a third ‘Quiet Place’ movie?

The possibility of a third movie hinges in part on John Krasinski's availability.

There have been three Quiet Place movies, but there has not yet been a Quiet Place 3. The first two movies were part of the same story, and then the third, A Quiet Place: Day One was effectively a prequel set in an entirely different part of this world, and focused on totally different characters.

In a new interview, Brad Fuller, the producer of the Quiet Place films, made it clear that they’d still like to make a third installment in that original series.

“So, Day One is not A Quiet Place 3, just to be clear…A Quiet Place 3, we’re starting to put it together right now,” Fuller explained. “You know, when we made the first one, John [Krasinski] didn’t have a lot on his plate. He had just come off The Office, and he wanted to be a director.”

Since that first movie, though, Krasinski has gotten busy directing and starring in upcoming projects, including Silent River and an upcoming Jack Ryan movie.

“Now, he’s so in demand, and it’s hard to get him… He’s making a movie now, so as soon as he finishes that, hopefully, he will turn his attention to [A Quiet Place 3]. We all want to finish that trilogy, and I’m hopeful there’s even more Quiet Place movies beyond that.”

Fuller also made it clear that he doesn’t want to make the third installment without Krasinski at the helm. Krasinski directed the first two movies, while Michael Sarnoski took over for Day One. What seems clear, then, is that there are no immediate plans for a third installment, but fans would certainly be thrilled if one came.

The draw is awful, and it tastes like burnt cardboard mixed with rotten chemicals. That $50 you spent on it? Down the drain.Welcome to the annoying world of fake cigars. It’s not just some shady business anymore; it’s a huge industry that’s great at mimicking everything from the gold bands on Cohibas to the cedar boxes used by Padrón.Once you know what to look for, though, spotting a fake isn’t too hard. It’s not about becoming a cigar expert all at once; it’s about trusting your gut to save both your money and your smoking experience.

Paramount Plus with Showtime just became Parmount Plus Premium
We don't think this signals any other changes to the service.

Paramount Plus is trying to one-up HBO. Following the news that Max would be becoming HBO Max again, Paramount has announced its own name change. After killing the Showtime streaming service in 2024, Paramount is now rebranding Paramount Plus with Showtime as Paramount Plus Premium.

That change is effective as of June 23, and seems to signal one of the final death knells for Showtime as an independent brand. Paramount didn't announce any changes to the structure of the content you'll be getting at each subscription level, so it seems like what's actually changing is just the name. Paramount Plus Premium will get you access to all the shows that used to be Showtime shows, as well as more movies that aren't available with a standard subscription.

The best medical shows of all time to binge now
From ER to The Pitt, these are the best medical shows ever made
Noah Wyle in the Pitt

Throughout TV's long history, the medical drama has occupied a somewhat unique place in the landscape. Medical shows are often some of the most reliable on TV precisely because there's so much drama built in to working in a hospital.

Personally, I've found the medical drama to be deeply comforting for years, even if I have no desire to be a doctor myself. Understanding the stress of people in the healthcare profession is fascinating in and of itself.
