Brittany Snow will star in “The Housemaid’s Secret,” joining the previously announced cast of Sydney Sweeney, Kirsten Dunst and Paul Anthony Kelly.
“The Housemaid’s Secret” is the follow-up to 2025’s box office sleeper hit “The Housemaid.” 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.
Production on the psychological thriller is expected to start later this year. Paul Feige is returning to direct “The Housemaid’s Secret,” having steered “The Housemaid” to $400 million globally against a $35 million budget. Rebecca Sonnenshine, who adapted the first book, is returning to write the sequel. Lionsgate has slated the movie to open on Dec. 17, 2027.
Lionsgate intends to turn “The Housemaid” into a major film franchise. Although nothing else has been announced, McFadden has a third novel, “The Housemaid Is Watching,” that’s bound to eventually grace the big screen.
Snow was recently in Netflix’s breakout series “The Hunting Wives,” which was produced by Lionsgate Television and was renewed for a second season. She’s best known for movies like “John Tucker Must Die,” “Hairspray,” the “Pitch Perfect” trilogy and A24’s “X.” She is represented by Gersh, Principal Entertainment LA, imPRint, and Sloane, Offer, Weber & Dern.
