Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried to Star in ‘The Housemaid’ Adaptation From Director Paul Feig, Lionsgate

As a seasoned movie critic with a penchant for psychological thrillers and a soft spot for rising talents, I must say that the casting of Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried in “The Housemaid” is nothing short of intriguing. Having followed both actresses’ careers since their breakout roles (Big Little Lies and Mean Girls, respectively), I am eager to see them bring their distinct talents to bear in this adaptation of Freida McFadden’s popular novel.


In the upcoming movie “The Housemaid,” actresses Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried are set to take on the leading roles. This film is an adaptation of the widely-read novel by Freida McFadden. Known for directing comedies like “Bridesmaids” and “A Simple Favor,” Paul Feig will helm this psychological thriller under Lionsgate.

In the movie, Sweeney takes on the role of Millie, a hard-up young lady who finds hope in becoming a maid for the affluent duo Nina (Seyfried) and Andrew. However, as suggested by the official summary, “Millie eventually discovers that the family’s hidden truths pose a greater threat than her own.

Adam Fogelson, head of Lionsgate Motion Picture Group, expressed his excitement about ‘The Housemaid’ being part of our upcoming lineup. He stated that a brilliant filmmaker, an exceptional cast, and a fantastic script derived from a remarkable book are the perfect foundation. His past collaborations with Paul and Amanda have been nothing less than amazing, and Sydney possesses the same level of talent and captivating charm as anyone could ask for.
