As of September 10th, 2025, the highly anticipated film adaptation of Freida McFadden's 2022 novel 'The Housemaid' is generating significant buzz. The movie, directed by Paul Feig, features a star-studded cast led by Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried.
Sweeney plays the role of Millie Calloway, a woman who takes a job as a live-in maid with the wealthy Winchester family in an effort to restart her life. Seyfried portrays Nina Winchester, Millie's employer, and the first-look photos reveal a devilish smile on Seyfried's face, hinting at the dark secrets that may lie beneath the surface.
The supporting cast includes Brandon Sklenar as Nina's husband, and Michele Morrone as the groundskeeper Enzo, who has been described as a "weirdo." While not all the cast members are featured in the initial photos, the images provide a tantalizing glimpse into the film's unsettling atmosphere.
Director Paul Feig has promised that viewers will be left "clutching their pearls" over the surprises in store for them. Screenwriter Rebecca Sonnenshine has also stated that the film will be a "faithful interpretation" of the book, but with some unexpected twists and turns.
Production on 'The Housemaid' began earlier this year, and the cast and crew have been sharing their enthusiasm for the project. Seyfried and Sweeney, in particular, have forged a strong bond off-camera, further adding to the anticipation surrounding the film's release.
