Domestic thriller The Housemaid, starring Sydney Sweeney, Amanda Seyfried and Brandon Sklenar, sets a December 25, 2025 release date via Lionsgate.
Directed by Paul Feig (Bridesmaids, Ghostbusters 2016), The Housemaid is based on the bestselling 2022 novel by Freida McFadden, and follows:
[…] Millie (Sweeney), a struggling woman who is relieved to get a fresh start as a housemaid to Nina (Seyfried) and Andrew (Sklenar), an upscale, wealthy couple. She soon learns that the family’s secrets are far more dangerous than her own.
The Housemaid stayed on the New York Times bestseller list for more than a year, 75 weeks and counting, and on the Amazon bestsellers list for 98 weeks and counting. The novel also has a record-breaking half-billion pages read on Kindle and is the No. 2 most-read title for Kindle’s 10th anniversary. It has sold more than 3.6 million copies in English has been translated into 40 languages.
Rebecca Sonnenshine (The Boys, The Vampire Diaries) adapted the novel for the big screen.
Aside from starring, Seyfried and Sweeney will also executive produce alongside Alex Young and McFadden. Hidden Pictures’ Todd Lieberman will produce, and the company’s Carly Kleinbart Elter will oversee the project. Feigco’s Feig and Laura Fischer are also producing.
Sweeney's outings into genre cinema continue after this year's starring role in Michael Mohan's Immaculate, which she also produced. Seyfried is also no stranger to the genre game, having starred in Karyn Kusama's iconic Jennifer's Body, and more recent horror turns in You Should Have Left and Things Heard & Seen.
