Behind the Quiet Place franchise, John Krasinski is returning to the genre for “Silent River,” a new Prime Video series that sees “cracks emerge in a small town when it’s discovered a serial killer lives among its residents,” THR reports.
Krasinski joins “Perry Mason” actor Matthew Rhys. The series reunites Krasinski and Rhys after starring together in the children’s film IF. This is not the first time the actor-director has worked with Prime Video. Krasinski previously starred in Prime Video’s hit “Jack Ryan“ series, based on the book series created by Tom Clancy. A follow-up film for the action franchise is being developed at Amazon MGM.
“We are thrilled to continue our work with John Krasinski, Allyson Seeger, and Sunday Night on this gripping series, which delves into the mysteries and secrets of small-town America,“ Vernon Sanders, head of television at Amazon MGM, told THR. “With John and Matthew Rhys attached to star in this wonderful story from Aaron Rabin, our global customers will be on the edge of their seats throughout this thought-provoking, psychological thriller.”
Krasinski will direct episodes alongside executive producer Adam Bernstein, who is directing the Jack Ryan movie. Both stars, along with creator Rabin, will executive produce the series.
The “Silent River” premiere date has yet to be announced, but it’s guaranteed to be good. Krasinski has proven time and time again that he has incredible talent both in front of and behind the camera.
Check out the “Jack Ryan” series if you’re looking for action. If you are craving a chilling horror film, watch all three movies of the Quiet Place franchise, including the recently released prequel A Quiet Place: Day One, streaming now on Paramount+.
