The Housemaid movie, which starred Sydney Sweeney and was directed by Paul Feig, enjoyed commercial success when it was released in December 2025. The psychological thriller grossed £98.5 million ($133 million) in just the first two and a half weeks of showing in theatres, and the blockbuster result pushed Lionsgate to greenlight the movie's sequel titled The Housemaid's Secret.
'It is clear from both the global box office and from the outpouring on social media that audiences have responded strongly - and audibly - to the totally unique and truly theatrical experience of The Housemaid and want to know what happens next,' Adam Fogelson, Lionsgate's head of motion picture, said in a statement in announcing the 'go signal' for the second installment. 'We believed in these stories from the very beginning, and we are beyond excited to bring the next chapter of Millie's story to life on-screen.'
