Overview
- Lionsgate said Tuesday it is developing a live stage version of The Housemaid, with Bekah Brunstetter writing and Melting Pot producers Simon Friend and Hanna Osmolska attached.
- The play will draw from Freida McFadden’s 2022 bestseller and the 2025 film directed by Paul Feig.
- No casting, venue, or production schedule has been announced.
- The 2025 movie earned about $400 million worldwide on a $35 million budget, prompting Lionsgate to grow the property beyond film.
- A sequel film, The Housemaid’s Secret, is expected to begin production later this year for a Dec. 17, 2027 theatrical release.
