John Kransinski has confirmed a release date for a sequel to his hit horror film A Quiet Place.

A Quiet Place followed a family in a post-apocalyptic future who sought to survive monstrous aliens who can detect their prey by sound.

The original film was Krasinski's directorial debut, which he also starred in alongside his wife Emily Blunt as his on-screen spouse.

Emily Blunt won a Screen Actors Guild Award for Best Supporting Actress for her turn in the film.

John Krasinski took to Instagram to reveal the film's release date, captioned: "...time to go back. #PartII 5-15-20."

This means we can expect the sequel to A Quiet Place next year on May 15, 2020 .

Deadline has also revealed that Krasinski will be both directing and writing the sequel's screenplay.

It is unlikely Krasinski will return as his character Lee Abbott considering the events of the last film, but his wife Emily Blunt will be back according to the publication.

Her character Evelyn Abbot was left in a precarious but hopeful place at the end of the last film.

It is unknown if Millicent Simmonds and Noah Jupe will return in their roles as Regan and Marcus Abbott, respectively, but we doubt they will be absent.

No further details about the plot are known.

The first film was a major critical and financial success, grossing $340 million worldwide.
