The Silence Returns: "A Quiet Place: Part III" Begins Filming in New York City
The Silence Returns
The "Quiet Place" universe is officially returning to the streets of New York, but this time, it’s not a prequel. Just yesterday, May 10, 2026, John Krasinski took to social media to confirm that principal photography for A Quiet Place: Part III has officially begun in lower Manhattan.
For New Yorkers, the most visible sign of the production arrived early Sunday morning in Chinatown. Krasinski shared an image of the film’s clapperboard set against the iconic Manhattan Bridge Arch and Colonnade, effectively confirming that the "Big Apple" will serve as a primary backdrop for the next chapter in the Abbott family's struggle for survival.
What We Know So Far
While plot details are being guarded with typical franchise secrecy, several key details have emerged from the first few days of shooting:
Returning Cast:The core survivors are back.Emily Blunt (Evelyn Abbott), Millicent Simmonds (Regan), and Noah Jupe (Marcus) are all confirmed to return. They will be joined by Cillian Murphy, reprising his role as Emmett from Part II.
New Faces: The production has added significant talent to the roster, including Jack O’Connell (28 Years Later), Jason Clarke, and Katy O’Brian (Love Lies Bleeding).
The Setting: Unlike A Quiet Place: Day One, which showed the city during the initial chaos of the invasion, Part III appears to be exploring the city's overgrown, silent ruins. Set photos from the weekend showed a heavy presence of military vehicles and extras around the Manhattan Bridge, suggesting a high-stakes, large-scale confrontation.

Impact on the Neighborhood
The production isn't exactly staying quiet during the setup phase. Local reports from Chinatown noted "faux-explosions" and military roll-ups starting as early as 4:00 AM on Mother’s Day. The filming led to significant traffic blocks around Canal Street, impacting local businesses but providing a thrilling glimpse of Hollywood for residents in the area.
John Krasinski is back in the director's chair for this installment, which is currently slated for a theatrical release on July 30, 2027.
As the production continues to move through the five boroughs, our readers should keep an eye out for yellow "QPIII" parking signs—and remember to keep the volume down.
