John Krasinski is back to write the script for the sequel to his hit horror film A Quiet Place. THR reports that Krasinski — who co-wrote, directed and starred in the original — confirmed the news in a Q&A yesterday in Los Angeles.

Krasinski said that he originally asked Paramount to bring someone else on board to write the next film, as 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. And he told me to think about it a little longer. And then I thought, ‘This might really work.’ So, I’m currently writing the sequel.”

The follow-up film is set to release on May 15th, 2020. A Quiet Place has been an enormous hit for Paramount, grossing grossed over $334 million worldwide on a $17 million dollar budget (plus marketing).
