Kirsten Dunst is set to grace the screen once again in the highly anticipated sequel to "The Housemaid," titled "The Housemaid's Secret." She joins forces with star Sydney Sweeney to bring the story of Millie Calloway, the protagonist from Freida McFadden's second book in the "Housemaid" series, to life. The film, a follow-up to Lionsgate's late 2025 theatrical hit, has already amassed nearly $400 million at the global box office.
Millie, a new attendant for a wealthy couple, finds herself cleaning their penthouse in the city. When she's not allowed to meet her employer, Mrs. Garrick, Millie becomes instantly suspicious of her husband, and secrets start to unravel.
Returning to direct the sequel alongside screenwriter Rebecca Sonnenshine is Paul Feig, who previously helmed the first film. Alongside Sweeney, Michele Morrone also reprises his role as Enzo. Feig will produce alongside his partner Laura Fischer and Todd Lieberman of Hidden Pictures, as well as Sweeney through her Fifty-Fifty Films banner. Carly Elter and Alex Young of Hidden Pictures will executive produce, while Kaylee McGregor of Fifty Fifty will co-produce.
Chelsea Kujawa and Maria Ascanio are overseeing the project for Lionsgate. Erin Westerman, President of Lionsgate Motion Picture Group, commented, "It's a privilege to bring The Housemaid's next chapter to the screen with Kirsten Dunst. She's an icon whose career showcases extraordinary range and fearlessness. Opposite the ever-magnetic Sydney Sweeney, she will be an electrifying force in a world where nothing is ever quite as it seems."
Dunst, represented by UTA, Entertainment 360, and Hansen Jacobson, was most recently seen in Paramount's dramedy "The Roofman." She's also set to appear in the sequel to "A Minecraft Movie" and Ruben Östlund's latest feature "The Entertainment System Is Down."
