A Quiet Place Part III sets July 2027 release with John Krasinski returning as director
Paramount Pictures announced the release date this week, confirming that the third installment in the blockbuster horror franchise is moving forward with Krasinski at the helm. The film will be produced by Krasinski and Allyson Seeger's Sunday Night Productions alongside Platinum Dunes.
Casting for A Quiet Place Part III has not been confirmed. It's unclear if original stars Emily Blunt, Noah Jupe, or Millicent Simmonds will return, especially given major character developments in earlier installments. While plot details are under wraps, it's expected the film will continue the tense, sound-sensitive survival narrative that has defined the franchise.
The Quiet Place series has been a major success for Paramount, grossing over $900 million worldwide. Krasinski directed the first two films, while Michael Sarnoski directed the 2024 spin-off, A Quiet Place: Day One.
Krasinski, who rose to fame on NBC's The Office, has since become a prominent filmmaker. His other directing efforts include the family fantasy film IF and Apple's Fountain of Youth, where he starred opposite Natalie Portman. He announced his return to the Quiet Place universe via Instagram, shortly before Paramount's expected merger with Skydance is finalized.
Fans of the franchise can expect more eerie silence and suspenseful storytelling when A Quiet Place Part III arrives in summer 2027.

South Park pulled from HBO Max after Trump deepfake episode sparks backlash
South Park has been pulled from HBO Max following a controversial Season 27 premiere that featured a deepfake of Donald Trump. The episode, titled Sermon on the 'Mount', marked the animated show's return after nearly two years and ignited immediate backlash for its depiction of Trump nude, wandering the desert, and in bed with Satan. The episode also mocked the former president in a faux public service announcement. Trump hasn't been portrayed on South Park since 1997, making the satire especially jarring for longtime viewers. The White House responded sharply, with assistant press secretary Taylor Rogers dismissing the show as 'irrelevant' and calling the episode 'a desperate attempt for attention.' Creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone sarcastically apologized at San Diego Comic-Con, saying, 'We're terribly sorry,' which drew laughter from the audience. The controversy coincides with a major streaming shift. Starting August 4, South Park will no longer be available on HBO Max. Under a $1.5 billion deal signed in July, the entire series—including 26 past seasons, feature-length specials, and 50 new episodes—will stream exclusively on Paramount+. Stephen Colbert praised the creators on The Late Show, calling the episode a message of hope and defending creative freedom in AI-driven satire. Since its 1997 debut, South Park has built a reputation for fearless humor and political satire. Despite criticism, it remains one of television's most influential and enduring animated series.

Robert Carlyle joins 'Watson' season 2 as Sherlock Holmes in CBS drama twist
Robert Carlyle is set to play Sherlock Holmes in the second season of CBS' drama series Watson, according to Variety. The Scottish actor, known for his roles in Trainspotting, The Full Monty, and Once Upon a Time, will appear in a recurring guest role opposite Morris Chestnut's Dr. John Watson. Season 1 of Watson followed Dr. Watson as he opened a clinic specializing in rare conditions following Holmes' apparent death during a confrontation with Moriarty (played by Randall Park). Throughout the season, Holmes only appeared as a hallucination, voiced by Matt Berry. However, Season 2 brings a major twist: Sherlock Holmes is revealed to be alive. According to the official synopsis, Watson 'faces an unexpected twist when Sherlock Holmes, who was presumed dead, resurfaces, forcing him to confront a buried secret from his past — one that lies hidden within his own body.' Showrunner Craig Sweeny expressed excitement over Carlyle's casting, calling him 'the mighty Robert Carlyle' and praising his history of iconic roles. Sweeny noted, 'He now steps into the shoes of the most iconic detective of all, Sherlock Holmes.' Carlyle is the second actor to portray Holmes on CBS in recent years, following Johnny Lee Miller's seven-season run in Elementary. The new season also stars Eve Harlow, Peter Mark Kendall, Ritchie Coster, Inga Schlingmann, and Rochelle Aytes. Morris Chestnut previously hinted in interviews that he believed Sherlock was still alive, and now the storyline confirms that suspicion. The return of Holmes is expected to reshape the dynamic and deepen the emotional arc of Watson's character. Watson Season 2 premieres Monday, October 13 at 10/9c on CBS and streams the following day on Paramount+.
