The Housemaid, a psychological thriller directed by Paul Feig, has made a significant impact at the box office, earning over $396 million against a budget of just $35 million. This breakout hit has captivated audiences with its steamy narrative and sharp commentary on the ultra-rich.

Starring Sydney Sweeney as Millie Calloway and Amanda Seyfried as Nina Winchester, the film is based on the 2022 novel by Freida McFadden. Critics have praised it for its “delicious, satirical look at the secret depravity of the ultra-rich,” as noted by Mark Kennedy.

Released in United States theaters in December 2025, The Housemaid quickly gained traction, leading to its availability for purchase or rent on platforms like Prime Video and Apple TV. As of April 1, 2026, the film will also be available for streaming on Starz.

In an exciting development, a sequel titled The Housemaid’s Secret is currently in development, set to release on December 17, 2027. This follow-up will adapt the second book in McFadden’s series, further exploring the gripping narrative established in the first film.

Joining the cast for the sequel is Kirsten Dunst, adding star power to an already impressive lineup. Fans are eager to see how the story unfolds, especially after the cliffhangers presented in the original film.

Quotes from the film hint at its intense plot: “I can work here for a while, stay quiet until I get what I want. It’s almost perfect,” and “When it gently swings open, what I see inside changes everything…” These lines encapsulate the suspense that has drawn viewers in.

The success of The Housemaid not only highlights the growing popularity of psychological thrillers but also sets the stage for future adaptations of McFadden’s works. As the film industry continues to evolve, it remains to be seen how this trend will shape upcoming projects.

Details remain unconfirmed regarding additional cast members or plot specifics for The Housemaid’s Secret, but anticipation is building as fans await more information.
