This won’t come as much of a surprise given the critical and commercial success of the film, but Paramount Pictures has officially announced that development is underway on a sequel to the box office horror sensation A Quiet Place.

“We’re already working with these guys on a sequel,” revealed Paramount Chairman and CEO Jim Gianopulos to THR. “If you told me five years ago that an almost silent film starring the very funny guy Jim from The Office would have been a hit at Paramount, I would have said, ‘Well, I should go work at Paramount’.”

The film has grossed $220 million worldwide from a budget of just $17 million.
