Lionsgate develops Housemaid sequel with Sydney Sweeney

Lionsgate is working on a sequel to the film The Housemaid, titled The Housemaid's Secret. Sydney Sweeney will produce the project and may reprise her starring role. The announcement highlights ongoing interest in adapting popular thrillers to the screen.

Lionsgate has greenlit a sequel to its thriller The Housemaid, adapting Freida McFadden's follow-up novel, The Housemaid's Secret. Sydney Sweeney, who starred in and produced the original film, is set to return in a producing capacity and is potentially starring again.

The original Housemaid, released in 2024, became a box office success and streaming hit, drawing audiences with its tale of a housemaid uncovering dark family secrets. The sequel promises to continue the story, focusing on the protagonist's new challenges in a seemingly perfect home that hides sinister truths.

This development underscores Lionsgate's strategy to capitalize on successful book-to-film adaptations in the thriller genre. No release date or additional cast details have been announced yet.
