Overview
- Lionsgate, which announced the date Monday, set a wide theatrical release for The Housemaid’s Secret on December 17, 2027.
- The sequel opens opposite Marvel’s Avengers: Secret Wars and New Line’s The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum, a high-traffic slot the studio frames as strategic counterprogramming.
- Paul Feig returns to direct from a script by Rebecca Sonnenshine, with production slated to begin later in 2026 under producers Hidden Pictures, Pretty Dangerous Pictures, and Sydney Sweeney’s Fifty-Fifty Films.
- Sydney Sweeney reprises Millie, Michele Morrone returns as Enzo, and Kirsten Dunst joins in a role reported as Wendy that Feig teased as very unexpected.
- The first film earned about $125 million domestically and nearly $400 million worldwide on a modest budget, and Lionsgate plans further adaptations from Freida McFadden’s Housemaid series, including a third novel.
