The Housemaid is a 2025 psychological thriller directed by Paul Feig and adapted from Freida McFadden's blockbuster 2022 novel, with a screenplay by Rebecca Sonnenshine. Released by Lionsgate, it became one of the season's biggest commercial success stories, translating the book's runaway, twist-driven popularity into a glossy, addictive big-screen thriller.
Sydney Sweeney stars as Millie, a young woman with a hidden past who takes a live-in position with a wealthy couple, only to discover that the household is built on secrets and lies. Amanda Seyfried plays Nina Winchester, the volatile woman of the house, with Brandon Sklenar as her husband Andrew and Michele Morrone in the ensemble, as the story spirals into a dangerous game of manipulation, class resentment and shifting power.
Made for a modest budget of around $35 million, the film grossed more than $300 million worldwide, and its cliffhanger ending set the stage for a planned sequel drawn from McFadden's follow-up novel. A sleek, pulpy crowd-pleaser, it leaned into its soapy reversals and the chemistry of its two leads. It is streaming on Prime Video.
