Summary
TheA Quiet Placefranchise delivers its first prequel, and whether there is anA Quiet Place: Day Onepost-credits scene setting up the future is known. John Krasinski kicked off theA Quiet Placefranchise in 2018 with the smash-hit first installment. Following a brief tease inA Quiet Place Part IIof what life was like for the Abbott family when the aliens invaded,A Quiet Place: Day Onetakes audiences back to the day. The film follows Sam (Lupita Nyong’o) and Eric (Joseph Quinn) as strangers who pair up to try and survive in New York City.
By the timeA Quiet Place: Day One’s endingrolls around, the thrilling survival storyreaches a dramatic conclusion that also directly ties into what happens inA Quiet Place Part II. WithA Quiet Place 3already confirmedto be in the works, it is fair to question whether the franchise would utilize a post-credits scene to deliver a direct tease of the sequel or another prequel. Now that the movie is out, the status of anA Quiet Place: Day Oneafter-credits scene is confirmed.

A Quiet Place: Day One’s End-Credits Scene Decision Continues A Franchise Trend
The Franchise Is Consistent With Credits Scenes
The fact thatA Quiet Place: Day Onedid not include an end-credits scene is not too surprising. This decision is the same that the previous two movies made. There was no room for a post-credits scene withA Quiet Place’s ending coming abruptly and setting up the sequel. Meanwhile,A Quiet Place Part IIalso opted out of including an end-credits scene that answered lingering questions or teased the next installment.
Sincethe prior two movies did not include anything in the credits, it makes sense thatA Quiet Place: Day Onechose not to have something. Audiences are not necessarily already conditioned to expect that this franchise will include after-credits scenes. SinceA Quiet Place: Day Oneis a prequel, the possibilities for what a credits scene could even include without creating too many complications for the franchise are smaller. It was ultimately safer to not include a post-credits scene and leave audiences wanting more.
