December 2027 release date announced for The Housemaid sequel The Housemaid’s Secret
Sydney Sweeney (Anyone But You, Madame Web) enjoyed the biggest box office success of her career when the “sexy” psychological thriller The Housemaid racked up almost $400 million worldwide in recent months. It’s no surprise that Lionsgate is moving forward with a sequel, with Sweeney returning for The Housemaid’s Secret – and today, the studio has announced that the film will be receiving a wide theatrical release on December 17, 2027! The first movie was released on December 19, 2025, so they’re sticking with what worked the first time around.
Creative Team
The Housemaid director Paul Feig returns to the helm for The Housemaid’s Secret. The sequel also has the same line-up of producers: Todd Lieberman of Hidden Pictures; Feig, who produces through his Pretty Dangerous Pictures with his partner Laura Fischer; and Sweeney, through her Fifty-Fifty Films banner.
Screenwriter Rebecca Sonnenshine returns to write The Housemaid’s Secret. Carly Elter, who oversaw the first movie for Hidden Pictures, is returning as executive producer.
Alex Young of Hidden Pictures will also executive produce. Fifty Fifty’s Kaylee McGregor will co-produce. Chelsea Kujawa and Maria Ascanio are overseeing the project for Lionsgate.
The Housemaid
Based on the novel by Freida McFadden, the first film has the following synopsis: In The Housemaid, Millie (Sydney Sweeney) is a struggling young woman who is relieved to get a fresh start as a housemaid to Nina (Amanda Seyfried) and Andrew (Brandon Sklenar), an upscale, wealthy couple. She soon learns that the family’s secrets are far more dangerous than her own.
This one always had franchise potential, as McFadden has written multiple follow-ups to her novel: The Housemaid’s Secret, The Housemaid’s Wedding, and The Housemaid is Watching.
The Housemaid’s Secret
In the sequel, Millie (Sweeney) returns, taking a job keeping house for a woman she’s never allowed to see — only to discover the truth behind the locked door that threatens to expose secrets far darker than her own.
Joining Sweeney in the cast of the sequel are Kirsten Dunst (Roofman, Spider-Man) and Michele Morrone (365 Days, Subservience), reprising his role from the first film.
The Housemaid’s Secret will go into production later this year. Are you looking forward to watching the movie in December 2027? Let us know by leaving a comment below.
