Lionsgate Announces Housemaids Secret Sequel for 2027

Lionsgate has announced that "The Housemaid's Secret," the sequel to the 2025 thriller "The Housemaid," will hit theaters on December 17, 2027. The film reunites star Sydney Sweeney with director Paul Feig and features newcomer Kirsten Dunst in a pivotal role, building on the original's global success.

The announcement comes nearly two years after the first film debuted to strong holiday audiences, earning $125 million domestically and $271 million internationally for a worldwide total of nearly $400 million. That movie, adapted from Freida McFadden's bestselling novel, followed Wilhelmina "Millie" Calloway, played by Sweeney, as she took a live-in maid position with a wealthy couple and uncovered hidden family dangers. Lionsgate optioned McFadden's trilogy, including "The Housemaid," "The Housemaid's Secret," and "The Housemaid Is Watching," along with a related short story, before the books gained widespread popularity.

In the sequel, Sweeney reprises her role as Millie, who accepts a housekeeping job for a reclusive woman she is forbidden from seeing. As the story unfolds, Millie discovers shocking truths behind a locked door that reveal secrets even more sinister than her...
