Krasinski first teased the sequel in January in an interview withDeadline.
“The idea for it is pretty simple,” he said at the time. “I’m writing now — I don’t have it fleshed out — but the thought that occurred to me, that really excited me about it, was that most sequels are about the return of a hero or a villain. You take this character that people loved once and you bring them back, and you have to create a new world around them.”

He continued, “We have the exact opposite setup. We have the world, and you can drop whoever you want into that world and everyone feels connected to it.”
In September, Krasinski revealed he and Blunt hadwrapped filming for the sequel. The writer-director shared a photograph of him and his wife holding hands on Instagram.
“Well… that’s a wrap on #PartII See you on March 20th!” he wrote in the caption.
The first movie resonated with audiences and critics alike and Blunt was later awarded the best supporting actress honor at the 25th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards.
“My favorite thing about shootingA Quiet Placefor sure was working with John,” she told reporters after her win. “We had never done it before and it is kind of the great unknown.”
“I think the discovery of how we collaborated and could create something together was just so special.”
A Quiet Place: Part IIis in theaters on March 20, 2020.
