Brittany Snow Joins ‘The Housemaid’s Secret’ Sequel

We can never have too much of Brittany Snow (pictured above in Ti West’s X) in horror. Every time she shows up in the genre, she kills it. Good thing, too, because she’s set to go up against some fierce characters after joining the cast of The Housemaid’s Secret, reports Variety.

Snow joins returning cast members Sydney Sweeney and Michele Morrone, as well as Kirsten Dunst (Interview with the Vampire) and Paul Anthony Kelly (Love Story).

“Based on Freida McFadden’s bestselling novel, the sequel picks up as Sweeney’s Millie, who works as a live-in maid for wealthy families, takes a new job — this time keeping house for a woman she’s never allowed to see. Like the initial story, Millie’s employers (Dunst and Kelly portray the spouses) are harboring a dark, sinister secret. Snow will play the character Marybeth, an unassuming receptionist at the husband’s company.”

The Pitch Perfect star most recently caught the attention of genre fans with her role in X, but she’s had some excellent performances in the genre before. My personal favorite is Would You Rather, in which she plays a woman desperate to get money for her brother’s cancer treatment at any cost necessary. She also appeared in the not-so-great Prom Night remake (not her fault that it stunk, she’s great).

Paul Feig is back to direct alongside screenwriter Rebecca Sonnenshine, who adapted the first book.

Feig will produce with Todd Lieberman of Hidden Pictures, Laura Fischer of Pretty Dangerous, and Sweeney through Fifty-Fifty Films.

Lionsgate has expressed interest in turning The Housemaid into a full-fledged franchise, so expect more if The Housemaid’s Secret is a success.
