"The Housemaid has a few more rooms to straighten up. Seeing as the $30 million domestic thriller has grossed more than $133 million as counter-programming to Zootopia and Avatar, the fine folks at Lionsgate are hiring The Housemaid for another outing. Variety reports that star Sydney Sweeney (from the jeans ads) and Paul Feig (from Heavyweights) have been called back into work for a sequel, which goes into production later this year."
"Based on the second book in author Freida McFadden's blockbuster series, The Housemaid's Secret, according to a red-carpet interview with Amanda Seyfried, will follow Sweeney's character, Millie Calloway, as she terrorizes a new family. "There's so much that happens, especially with Michele [Morrone] 's character Enzo," Seyfried told Variety. "I really wanna see how she keeps Nina Winchester in her pocket, because I will jump the fuck back into that.""
A sequel to The Housemaid has been greenlit with production scheduled later this year and Sydney Sweeney and Paul Feig confirmed to return. The follow-up, titled The Housemaid's Secret, draws from the series' second entry and centers on Millie Calloway terrorizing a new family while developments involving Enzo and Nina Winchester raise the stakes. The original $30 million domestic thriller grossed over $133 million as counter-programming to Zootopia and Avatar. The film provided a timely box-office success for the studio and leads after several recent misses. Critical reception included a B- noting throwback '90s domestic-interloper and Hitchcock influences.
