Overview
- Lionsgate, which announced the plan Monday, dated the Sydney Sweeney–led sequel for a wide theatrical release on December 17, 2027.
- Paul Feig returns to direct from a script by Rebecca Sonnenshine, with Sweeney and Michele Morrone reprising their roles and Kirsten Dunst joining the cast.
- Production is slated to start later in 2026, and Feig has said the script is essentially finished with filming targeted for the fall.
- The release lands on the same day as Marvel’s Avengers: Secret Wars and Warner Bros.’ The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum, signaling a deliberate counter-programming play.
- The film adapts Freida McFadden’s second Housemaid novel, and Lionsgate has optioned the trilogy with plans to build the series beyond this installment.
