Actor, writer and director John Krasinski has confirmed A Quiet Place III has officially been greenlit.
On Tuesday, February 15, during a presentation at the ViacomCBS Investory Day, Paramount Pictures and Krasinski unveiled plans for A Quiet Place Part III.
At this stage, it is unclear as to whether stars Emily Blunt, Millicent Simmonds and Noah Jupe will be involved, however Krasinski and Michael Bay are set to take on the role of producers.
The third part will act as a direct sequel to A Quiet Place Part II, which was released last year. Subsequently, the inclusion of cast members from the original seems highly likely.
The first A Quiet Place film, released in 2018, had a budget of $17 million and grossed $340,952,971, People reports.

A Quiet Place Part II was released amid the coronavirus pandemic, in May 2021, and despite this went on to gross nearly $300 million across the globe, Variety reports.
A Quiet Place Part III is based around an original idea by Krasinski, who starred in and directed the first two films.
Writer-director Michael Sarnoski's upcoming Quiet Place spinoff, which is set for release in 2023, is said to be separate from the other films in the series, set in the same post-apocalyptic world where no one can utter a sound, but focussing on different characters.
Samoski's spinoff is currently set to hit cinemas on September 22, 2023.
Alongside working on the third instalment of the A Quiet Place franchise, Krasinski is set to star in another film for Paramount Pictures, called IF.
He will act as a writer, producer and director on the film. IF is also once again based on one of Krasinski's original ideas.
Alongside Krasinski, Fleabag star Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds, and Harry Potter star Fiona Shaw are all expected to join the project as actors, alongside Cailey Fleming, Louis Gossett Jr. and Alan Kim, while Krasinski will reunite with his Office castmate Steve Carell in the film too.
The film is expected to hit screens on November 17, 2023.
Alongside the exciting announcement of the third A Quiet Place, Paramount Pictures also recently revealed plans for another sequel for Sonic the Hedgehog, ahead of the Sonic the Hedgehog 2 debut which is set to hit cinemas on April 9.
A Quiet Place III is currently set for release at an unspecified date in 2025.
