Housemaid Sequel: Amanda Seyfried's Surprise Return?

A sequel to the financially successful film The Housemaid, which garnered $385 million worldwide, is currently in development. Actress Amanda Seyfried, who portrayed the memorable Nina Winchester, has voiced her enthusiasm for returning to the project. Although Nina's character is absent from the sequel novel by Freida McFadden, Seyfried is keen to participate, even if her role is limited. She noted that the film's ending leaves the door open for her character's return, as Nina and Millie Calloway remain connected after their joint efforts in the first movie. Seyfried believes her character could provide a valuable presence for Millie in the potential sequel. The original film, released in December, is now available for digital rental and purchase, with a physical media release planned for March 17.

Seyfried is confident in the creative team's ability to integrate her character, referencing the author's positive reception to changes made in the initial film adaptation. She feels that Nina's presence could fill a void in Millie's life, a sentiment she hopes will be explored in the upcoming film. Given the significant box office success and audience anticipation, the sequel is expected to move forward rapidly, with further news anticipated in the coming months.
