Less than a month after its theatrical debut, Lionsgate has officially confirmed that a sequel to The Housemaid is in development, with star Sydney Sweeney and director Paul Feig set to return.
Since its release on December 19, the psychological thriller has become a massive box office success, grossing $133 million USD in just its first two-and-a-half weeks. Capitalizing on this momentum, the studio has greenlit a follow-up titled The Housemaid’s Secret. Based on the second novel in Freida McFadden’s best-selling trilogy, the project has reportedly been in development for several months. Lionsgate plans to begin production later this year, with Feig, Sweeney and co-star Michele Morrone all reprising their roles.
The original film follows Millie Calloway (Sydney Sweeney), a young woman with a criminal record who takes a live-in job for the wealthy Winchester family. She soon uncovers a web of dark secrets and dangerous manipulation within their home, realizing her position is far more perilous than she imagined. With the sequel now officially in the works, fans can look forward to the next chapter of Millie’s journey.
