A Quiet Place is an American apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic horror media franchise centered on a series of films set in a world inhabited by blind extraterrestrial creatures with a heightened sense of hearing.

The plot revolves around a mother (Emily Blunt) and father (Krasinski) who struggle to survive and raise their children in a post-apocalyptic world inhabited by blind monsters with a heightened sense of hearing.

The sequel follows the family from the first film as they continue to navigate a post-apocalyptic world inhabited by blind aliens with a heightened sense of hearing.

The spin-off follows a terminally ill woman (Lupita Nyong'o) during the early stages of an invasion in New York City by blind, extraterrestrial creatures with an acute sense of hearing.

The supporting cast includes Joseph Quinn, Alex Wolff, and Djimon Hounsou, who reprised his role from A Quiet Place Part II.

[1] In July, Blunt confirmed that Krasinski is working on a third and final installment, separate from the spin-off movie, with intentions to once again serve as director.

[7] Platinum Dunes' Michael Bay had a first-look deal with Paramount Pictures and showed their script to the studio, which bought it.

[12][13] When he co-wrote the script, he had Blunt in mind for the role, but did not ask her to do it as she had just had a child, was working on another film, and he was concerned that she would either decline it or accept it to support him.

"[12][10] Blunt initially did not want to be cast, but after reading Krasinski's script on a plane flight she felt she needed to do it as the story "represented some of my deepest fears—of not being able to protect my children.

[9][10] Beck and Woods said that Krasinski taking over the film as director "wasn't about reshaping it in any massive way" and that he "really protected our vision of the script".

Woods said they were not interested in a franchise approach and that they would rather try "to create original ideas" and use their writing credits "as an opportunity to push several projects".

[28] Actors Emily Blunt, Millicent Simmonds, and Noah Jupe reprised their roles from the first film, and Cillian Murphy and Djimon Hounsou joined the cast.

[32][33][34] In November 2020, it was announced that a spin-off prequel film was in development, with Jeff Nichols set to serve as writer and director, based on a story from John Krasinski.

[46] A Quiet Place premiered at South by Southwest on March 9, 2018,[47] and was released in the United States on April 6, 2018, by Paramount Pictures.

[50] Paramount Pictures originally set its theatrical release date for March 20, 2020, but postponed it to September 4, 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The developers stated: "The A Quiet Place video game will let fans experience the tension of the films with a level of immersion they've never felt before."
