Get ready for the prequel that started it all. A Quiet Place: Day One, starring acclaimed actress Lupita Nyong’o and Joseph Quinn, will be available for streaming on Netflix starting November 14, 2025. This gripping story explores the terrifying first day of the alien invasion that redefined survival for a silent planet.
This prequel expands the universe of the 2018 hit, A Quiet Place, a franchise that has proven to be a monumental success for Paramount Studios, grossing an impressive $900 million globally. It offers a new perspective on the harrowing events that set the stage for the subsequent films.
The core concept of the A Quiet Place series revolves around a family’s desperate fight for survival against hyper-sensitive alien predators that hunt solely by sound. The characters must navigate an existence defined by absolute quiet, where the slightest noise can lead to a swift and brutal end. The relentless struggle to protect their family from these invaders forms the emotional heart of the narrative.
Audiences who experienced the suspense in theaters can also find A Quiet Place: Day One on Paramount+ since August 27, 2024. The film first hit movie screens on June 28, 2024, providing a visceral account of the initial chaos and humanity’s desperate attempt to endure the unexpected alien arrival. The film is directed by Michael Sarnoski and features a strong ensemble cast including Lupita Nyong’o, Joseph Quinn, and Alex Wolff.
The future of the franchise remains in capable hands. A Quiet Place Part III is officially on its way, with John Krasinski returning to his directorial and writing duties. The release date for this next installment has been adjusted to July 30, 2027, a slight shift from its original July 9, 2027 slot, as confirmed by the studio.
