The box office success of twisty thriller The Housemaid, which has taken in over $75 million domestically in its first 17 days of release and $133 million worldwide with international territories continuing to roll out through January, has ensured a sequel is officially on the way. Lionsgate announced today that it is planning a 2026 […]
“We’re thrilled with the reception and incredibly proud of this entire team, from Freida McFadden to our partners at Lionsgate, and the outstanding work of Paul and Laura. Most rewarding has been seeing how strongly audiences are connecting with the film,” said Todd Lieberman of Hidden Pictures.
Paul Feig added, “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. We’re lucky that Freida McFadden has already extended Millie’s journey on the page, and that we get to work with Rebecca Sonnenshine and Lionsgate to bring this next story to audiences.”
In The Housemaid, Millie, trying to escape her past, accepts a position as a live-in housemaid for a wealthy family. But what begins as a dream job quickly unravels into something far more dangerous — a sexy, seductive game of secrets, scandal, and power.
I wrote in my review, “It’s a crowd-pleaser through and through, one meant to be seen with a rowdy audience on board with the wild swings taken. Feig and Sonnenshine push the novel’s more outrageous aspects even further, injecting even bigger thrills, twists, and stakes. It’s the type of operatic insanity that practically begs for more.”
While we won’t spoil the ending, we’re ready to see the murderous exploits of The Housemaid continue.
