All you need to know about A Quiet Place 3 (2024)

A Quiet Place 3 is apparently coming our way, but we're not talking about new prequel movie A Quiet Place: Day One.

The new movie takes us back to the beginning of the alien invasion and while Djimon Hounsou returns from the sequel, it has no other connections to the previous two movies other than the terrifying aliens.

What we do know is that Paramount are working on a third movie that will continue – and perhaps end – the story of the Abbott family. It was officially confirmed in 2022 for a release in 2025, but it seems that plan has changed.

In February 2024, EW noted that the planned 2025 release has "changed" since the announcement. We haven't heard anything else since, so we'll just assume that the threequel is in the works still.

It's expected that John Krasinski will return to write and direct the threequel, but while we wait for further news, here's everything you need to know about A Quiet Place 3.

As mentioned above, A Quiet Place 3 was originally aimed to be released in 2025, but we're still waiting for an official release date.

As mentioned above, it's likely that it won't arrive in 2025 now as planned. However, until we get official confirmation, we can remain hopeful that the horror threequel will arrive next year.

Until then, you can now enjoy A Quiet Place: Day One as it's out now in cinemas.

Despite some close calls, the Abbott family all survived the events of A Quiet Place Part II, so expect returns for Emily Blunt as Evelyn, Millicent Simmonds as Regan and Noah Jupe as Marcus.

Speaking to Digital Spy in May 2021, Simmonds said that she'd "absolutely" be up for a third movie or even an appearance in the spin-off movie, saying: "It would be an honour. I would love to jump back into this world."

The biggest newcomer in the sequel was Cillian Murphy's Emmett, who it's revealed knew the Abbott family before the apocalypse. He develops a fatherly bond with Regan in the sequel and helps her fight back against the aliens, so we'd expect him to be back.

One return you can't rule out though is another appearance from John Krasinski as Lee Abbott. He's seen in the sequel's astonishing cold open on Day 1 of the apocalypse, and similar flashbacks could be seen in the sequel.

Djimon Hounsou reprised his role as Man on Island in A Quiet Place: Day One, and we now know he's called Henri. Don't expect to see him in Part 3 though as he died at the end of the sequel.

One potential return from the prequel movie is Joseph Quinn's Eric as we see at the end of Day One that he gets on Henri's boat to the island, along with Samira's faithful cat Frodo.

We don't know anything about what the plot of A Quiet Place 3 will be, so let's look at what the sequel explored and how it set up further stories.

The main plot of the sequel revolves around Regan's quest to track down a mysterious radio signal they hear when they arrive at Emmett's bunker, with the signal playing 'Beyond the Sea' on a loop.

Regan wants to use the signal to broadcast the feedback from her hearing aid that the aliens are vulnerable to. So, against Evelyn's wishes, she heads out into the world to go to the island where the signal is coming from.

Emmett goes along with her and they get into an altercation with other survivors at the dock, which Emmett brings to an end by making noise to attract the aliens to attack them while he dives for safety with Regan.

They make their way to the island and discover it's a safe haven for humans, as the aliens can't swim. The National Guard found out in the early days of the apocalypse and tried to get as many people as possible safely to the island, but only two boats made it.

The survivors have been living in safety ever since and sent out the radio signal in the hopes others would make it.

In classic horror movie fashion though, one of the aliens made its way to the island on Regan and Emmett's boat and chaos ensues. Henri helps draw the alien away and takes Regan and Emmett to the radio station.

He's killed before he can do anything else, but eventually, Regan switches the radio signal from 'Beyond the Sea' to the feedback from her hearing aid.

She kills the alien and the signal comes through just in time to save the rest of her family at Emmett's bunker who are being attacked by an alien, which Marcus kills to save himself, Evelyn and the baby.

The final shot is of the speaker at the radio station playing the feedback from Regan's hearing aid.

It's unclear just how far the signal can go since it's noted in the movie that the Abbotts didn't hear it at their home because of where it's located. However, the third movie will likely pick up this thread as the humans fight back.

Of course, it might take some explaining as we imagine most people if they heard some feedback on the radio would just turn it off.

Krasinski revealed in March 2020 ahead of the sequel's planned release that he already had started preparing for a third movie.

"This time, I think when my brain started wondering [about questions like], 'What would this mean later on?' I started to write down notes in case I could prepare myself for a third one," he noted.

In a separate interview, he added that there are nods to a potential third movie in the sequel for fans to discover, such as the fires in the first movie leading to a location in A Quiet Place Part II:

"We even went so far as to put in a couple Easter eggs, so that if I did do a third one, they would connect back to the second one."

Unfortunately, A Quiet Place 3 has yet to start filming so we won't be getting any footage for a while, unfortunately.

A Quiet Place 3 does not yet have a release date. A Quiet Place: Day One is out now in cinemas.
