A Quiet Place was a huge sleeper hit for Paramount, one that the studio would not expect to transform into a potential franchise. Unsurprisingly, after the runaway success of the genre film, Paramount is itching back for more, recruiting one of the key creatives of the the original to return for another round.
John Krasinski, who starred, directed, and wrote the predecessor spilled during a Q&A his capacity in the film. And though there is no indication that he will reprise his role as director, it is comforting to know that his capacity is a major one.
They heard some pitches, and I told [producer] Drew [Form] about this little idea . . . He told me to think about it a little longer. And then I thought, 'This might really work.' So, I'm currently writing the sequel.
Pitches from different filmmakers may imply that Paramount may be making this an anthology series, creating more films in the lively world Krasinski established. But it is also possible they are working on a direct sequel as well. Considering the fact that the predecessor's ending seems fitting and definitive for the arcs of the characters, it will be interesting to see whether Krasinski will be following the same family for another movie.
A Quiet Place 2 will scare its way into theaters May 15, 2020
