BEGIN SLIDESHOW John Krasinski to write A Quiet Place sequel A Quiet Place star, director, and co-writer John Krasinski will be writing the upcoming sequel, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed. The highly-anticipated follow-up is scheduled to arrive in theaters on May 15, 2020. Krasinski spoke at a Q&A in Los Angeles yesterday at the Silver Screen Theatre, saying that he initially told Paramount to do the sequel with somebody else since he “had this small idea for a sequel, but I didn’t think it would go anywhere.” “They heard some pitches, and I told [Andrew Form, producer] about this little idea,” said Krasinski.
