A Quiet Place, the horror-thriller from director John Krasinski with Emily Blunt, is joining Netflix’s catalog on October 16, 2026. The film imagines a world where even the smallest sound can attract deadly creatures.
Following the emergence of blind monsters with ultra-sensitive hearing, the Abbott family has holed up on a remote farm. To stay alive, Lee, Evelyn and their kids communicate in sign language, walk barefoot along sandy paths, and choreograph every action to avoid making a sound.
This daily routine becomes even tougher to maintain as Evelyn is pregnant. The family must gear up for the baby’s arrival while trying to figure out how to fight the creatures that have devastated a large portion of the population.
Released in theaters in 2018, A Quiet Place is directed and co-written by John Krasinski, who also stars as Lee Abbott. He shares top billing with Emily Blunt, Millicent Simmonds, and Noah Jupe.
The film largely anchors its tension in how characters perceive sound and communicate within the family. Featuring Millicent Simmonds, a deaf actress who portrays Regan, sign language takes a central place in the narrative.
The first installment kicked off a franchise that was continued with A Quiet Place Part II, still directed by John Krasinski. The universe was later expanded with a tale focused on the early days of the invasion.
A Quiet Place will be available on Netflix starting on October 16, 2026.
