As per the reports of Variety, the first two movies were set on a post-apocalyptic Earth where society has been decimated by dreadful, blind monsters. The lethal creatures pursue their human prey using a type of echolocation despite the fact that they are blind. Marcus and Regan Abbott, played by Noah Jupe and Millicent Simmonds, are two small children whose parents are Lee and Evelyn Abbott, played by Krasinski and Blunt, who are wed in real life. Krasinski had a cameo appearance in the 2020 sequel, which started with a prologue before the monsters attacked, after his character passed away in the final scene of the original 2018 film. Cillian Murphy, Djimon Hounsou, Scoot McNairy, and Okieriete Onaodowan joined the cast of 'A Quiet Place: Part II' as well.
