The movies are based on Freida McFadden's books of the same name, and Lionsgate will be adapting the second book, The Housemaid's Secret, for the sequel film.
"It’s been thrilling to see audiences around the world fall in love with The Housemaid and the incredible work of our talented cast and crew," director Paul Feig said in a statement. "We’re lucky that Freida McFadden has already extended Millie’s journey on the page, and that we get to work with [screenwriter] Rebecca Sonnenshine and Lionsgate to bring this next story to audiences."
Keep reading for everything you need to know about The Housemaid 2, Sydney Sweeney's role, and whether we'll see Amanda Seyfried again.
Is there a part 2 of The Housemaid?
Amazon
Yes, we're getting a sequel to The Housemaid movie, and production is scheduled for 2026. So hopefully we'll see the new film at the end of 2026 or in 2027! You know the drill: when we find out, you'll be the first to know.
What is the Housemaid's book 2 about?
Lionsgate
The second Housemaid book finds Millie working for a new family: the Garricks. The family lives in a penthouse in the big city, but their life isn't as perfect as it appears. When Millie finally meets Mrs. Garrick, what she finds changes the course of everyone's lives. Because if there's one thing we know for sure, it's that Millie isn't afraid of getting revenge.
If this movie is even a fraction as shocking or freaky as the first, we're in for another wild ride.
Who's in The Housemaid 2 cast?
Lionsgate
So far, we'll see Sydney Sweeney and Michele Morrone return as Millie and Enzo, respectively. Amanda Seyfried also said she's love to return for a cameo in the movie. "I almost guarantee that I'm gonna be some small cameo in it," she told Variety. "I really want to see how she keeps Nina Winchester in her pocket, because I will jump the f—k back into that."
"I was such a huge fan of the books, so I would be just as happy as everyone else being able to see more Housemaids come to life and getting to explore more of Millie," Sydney previously told People. "She's spicy. She is a fighter. She knows what she believes in and she stands up for it. I love characters like that. I love seeing movies that have just fully embraced female rage."
