The Housemaid is an upcoming psychological thriller movie directed by Paul Feig, set to open in theaters nationwide on December 19, 2025. Based on the first book in Freida McFadden’s novel series and adapted into a screenplay by Rebecca Sonnenshine, the film stars Sydney Sweeney as Millie, a woman trying to escape her past. Millie accepts a live-in housemaid position with the wealthy and seemingly perfect Nina (Amanda Seyfried) and Andrew Winchester (Brandon Sklenar).
What begins as an ideal job soon devolves into a dangerous and seductive game of secrets, scandal, and power behind the Winchesters’ closed doors. The film promises a twisted narrative where nothing is as it seems and the façade of perfection conceals shocking twists that keep viewers guessing until the very end. The supporting cast includes Michele Morrone and Elizabeth Perkins, adding depth to the film’s dark, suspenseful atmosphere.
The trailers released in early November 2025 highlight the intense and mysterious tone of the movie, with Sydney Sweeney delivering a compelling performance that captures the precarious balance between vulnerability and resilience. The film’s 2-hour 11-minute runtime allows ample scope to explore themes of deception, danger, and survival in an elite household environment.
Lionsgate distributes the film, which is receiving buzz for its thrilling storyline and strong performances, particularly in how it portrays the complex dynamics between employer and employee in a high-stakes, glamorous setting. Fans of gripping psychological dramas and suspenseful thrillers can look forward to an engaging cinematic experience with The Housemaid this December.
