Paramount Pictures released the trailer ofA Quiet Place: Day Oneyesterday. It starts with scenes from the first two films before the screen goes dark, and the subtitle‘Day One’appears.

A Quiet Place Part IIIwas announced in February 2022 for a 2025 release. It will directly followA Quiet Place Part II,but specific plot details are being kept secret.
The third movie takes place in New York City, where noisy aliens come looking for sound. The trailer shows Lupita Nyong’o’s character watching the aliens arrive on Earth.

There’s chaos like the intense ending ofA Quiet Place 2. The trailer also suggests a sad part in the movie, hinting at the franchise’s most heartbreaking scene so far. It introduces a potential death that hits harder emotionally than John Krasinski’s character’s death in the first movie.

A Quiet Place: Day OneTrailer Hints at a Heartbreaking Death
In the trailer ofQuiet Place: Day One, there’s a surprising addition of a cat that points to a sad moment in the franchise. It’s even sadder thanJohn Krasinski‘s character’s (Lee) death in the first film where he gave up his life to save Marcus and Regan (his kids).
In the trailer (posted by Paramount Pictures on YouTube) before the monsters show up in New York City,Lupita Nyong’o‘s character is shown holding the cat. This is a new thing for the franchise, as pets weren’t in any of the two mainline movies before.

Pets weren’t in earlier movies because the Abbott family knew about the alien dangers. But inA Quiet Place: Day One, happening on the first day of the invasion, characters don’t have that advantage.
The chaos during the invasion will surely cause dramatic moments. After watching the trailer, it looks like that pets like cats and dogs will also feel the effects of the invasion, just like their human owners.

The cat’s appearance inA Quiet Place: Day Onehints at a sad moment because it’s unlikely to survive. Cats are quieter than dogs, but they can’t intentionally stay silent during an invasion by noise-sensitive creatures. So, it’s dubious the cat will make it since it’s hard for pets to stay quiet enough to escape the movie’s predators.
Check out some fan reactions where fans are concerned about the cat:

She’s holding a cat, so for reasons I will not be watching until I learn what happens to the cat 😭

Why are y’all asking if the cat dies? Just assume the cat will die. Dogs get killed in movies all the time so…..🤷🏽♀️😭😩

So, if the film shows how much Nyong’o’s character cares for her cat (like most pet owners), it could be one of the saddest moments in theQuiet Placefranchise—if the cat doesn’t survive.

The Cat’s Survival Would be a Memorable Horror Movie Moment
Alternatively, if Nyong’o’s cat inA Quiet Place: Day Onesurvives, it could bring a happy moment for the franchise. Many horror movies use pets to evoke sympathy and emotion for their owners.
However, there are also many movies where pets are in danger but manage to survive. Seeing pets make it through such situations is often very satisfying.
Depending on the direction ofA Quiet Place: Day One, Lupita Nyong’o’s cat could either bring a happy moment or add to the sadness in the franchise. But only time will reveal the fate of the cat.
