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.

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.
