Brittany Snow, known for her role in The Hunting Wives, has officially signed on for the highly anticipated sequel to The Housemaid, starring Sydney Sweeney. The film, titled The Housemaid's Secret, is set to hit theaters on December 17, 2027, and is already generating buzz with its growing ensemble cast.
According to recent reports, Snow will portray Marybeth, an unassuming receptionist at the husband's company. In the story, the husband is part of a wealthy couple who employs Sweeney's character, Millie, leading to a sinister secret that unravels. This new role adds another layer of intrigue to the thriller, which is based on Freida McFadden's bestselling novel.
The sequel comes on the heels of the massive success of the first film, which surprised many by grossing over $400 million worldwide against a modest production budget of $35 million. Released in late 2025 and running into early 2026, The Housemaid became a sleeper hit, prompting Lionsgate to fast-track a follow-up. The sequel will be directed by Paul Feig, with a script from Rebecca Sonnenshine.
In addition to Sweeney and Snow, the cast includes Kirsten Dunst and Canadian actor Paul Anthony Kelly. The film is expected to continue the story of Millie, who finds herself entangled in the dark secrets of another wealthy family. With Feig at the helm, known for his work in both comedy and thriller genres, fans are eager to see how he balances tension and character-driven drama.
Meanwhile, Sweeney remains one of Hollywood's busiest stars. Beyond The Housemaid's Secret, she is set to headline a Netflix adaptation of the iconic Gundam anime series, created by Yoshiyuki Tomino and Hajime Yatate. The live-action film, directed by Jim Mickle, features a star-studded cast including Jason Isaacs, Noah Centineo, Nonso Anozie, Shioli Kutsuna, and Michael Mando. Mando recently teased the project, describing intense wirework and zero-gravity sequences that promise a visually spectacular experience.
Snow's addition to The Housemaid's Secret marks another high-profile project for the actress, who has been building an impressive resume in both film and television. Her role as Marybeth is expected to be pivotal, adding depth to the corporate intrigue that surrounds the wealthy couple at the center of the story.
As anticipation builds, fans of the novel and the first film are eager to see how the sequel expands the universe. With a talented cast, a proven director, and a gripping source material, The Housemaid's Secret is shaping up to be one of the most talked-about thrillers of 2027.
