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.

8 must-see shows like The Righteous Gemstones
This dark comedy is hard to copy, but we have some similar hits
Arden Myrin, Walton Goggins, and Valyn Hall

The Righteous Gemstones just launched its fourth and final season on HBO and Max, and fans are buzzing about the series' potential to have a historically great final run. With a score of 91 on Metacritic, analysts are rejoicing at the return of television's most famous current evangelical family. Starring and created by Danny McBride, this show is a tragically humorous look into the darkness of cults as the Gemstone family fights one another while trying to stay relevant as a religious entity. Other great actors include John Goodman, Walton Goggins, and Adam DeVine.

There aren't many shows on TV that have ever been quite like The Righteous Gemstones. The show understands the hypocrisies of organized religion while also playing into the family drama that's included in staying devoted to a deity. Over-the-top humor and a huge courage to not shy away from controversial humor make the series a completely unique story. Even if there's no perfect parallel, there are similar shows to indulge in between episodes. These are the best shows like The Righteous Gemstones you need to watch right away.

It's been more than 25 years since we've seen Happy Gilmore, and Netflix is ready to bring him back. The first trailer for Happy Gilmore 2 checks in on the titular golf prodigy now that he's well into middle age, and is heavy on vibes but light on plot.

All we know for sure is that Happy feels a little intimidated by some of the pros who are golfing today, and that when we pick up with him, it's been a while since he touched a golf club. The trailer also gives us a glimpse at some cast members returning from the first film, including Julie Bowen, Christopher McDonald, and Ben Stiller, plus newcomers like Bad Bunny, Travis Kelce, and Sandler’s daughters Sadie and Sunny.

The series is one of the most successful shows in the history of Paramount+

The executives at Paramount have been pretty open about how much Tulsa King has meant for the company's TV success, so it's perhaps no surprise that the show is set to return for a third season. The show is already filming its third season in Atlanta and Oklahoma, and The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that Dave Erickson will take over as the show's sole showrunner for the third season.

Erickson is also serving as showrunner on Mayor of Kingstown, another Taylor Sheridan series, and recently signed a multiyear overall deal with MTV Entertainment Studios. Terence Winter and Craig Zisk, who essentially split showrunning duties on the second season, with Winter serving as the writer and Zisk as the producer, don't seem to be returning for the next season.
