Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried fans (that’s all of us, no?) rejoice, because the actresses are confirmed to be sharing the screen in new thriller, The Housemaid.
The film is an adaptation of the New York Times bestselling novel of the same name by Freida McFadden and will be directed by A Simple Favor’s Paul Freig—a perfect match, given it’s a psychological thriller.
“Part of the fun of the book was imagining the cast while we read it, and Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried are perfect for Millie and Nina – they’re both mysterious, nuanced, and incredibly skilled at becoming characters who don’t reveal everything right away,” Erin Westerman, co-president of Lionsgate Motion Picture Group, said.
“We’re thrilled to team them with Paul Feig, who we worked with on A Simple Favor and its upcoming sequel and has a proven track record of developing stories with dynamic female leads.”
Scroll on for everything you need to know about The Housemaid’s film adaptation.
What Is The Plot Of The Housemaid?
The Housemaid centres on Millie, a struggling young woman with a dark past, looking to start anew. Her last chance at a fresh start comes in the form of a job as a housemaid for a wealthy, couple—Nina and Andrew Winchester.
First impressions aren’t all that they seem, however, when Millie begins to discover that the family’s secrets are far darker than her own.
For those who haven’t read the book, we won’t give much away, but you can expect shock twists that will have you on the edge of your seat.
Who Is In The Housemaid Cast?
As you may have guessed, Sydney is set to play young housemaid, Millie, while Amanda has been cast in the role of Nina.
Now, we eagerly await cast announcements for the leading men in the film, Andrew and the Winchester’s gardener, Enzo.
The Housemaid Release Date & Where To Watch
Given the film is being produced by Lionsgate and Hidden Pictures, we expect to see it hit cinemas before landing at one of the streaming services.
As for when it will be released, that’s yet to be confirmed. With filming yet to begin we may not see The Housemaid on our screens until 2026. Stay tuned for more details.
