Freida McFadden’s hit thriller novel The Housemaid has made waves in the literary world, and now it’s getting its very own screen adaptation.
With Amanda Seyfried and Sydney Sweeney spearheading the film, we’re sure it’ll be every bit as exciting and gripping as the book itself.
Here’s everything to know about the book-to-screen adaptation of The Housemaid!
The Housemaid trailer
Check out the trailer below:
The Housemaid plot
The Housemaid follows a wealthy and affluent couple, Nina and Andrew Winchester, and their housemaid Millie.
Millie is seeking a fresh start while trying to leave behind the shadows of her past, but she soon realises that the Winchesters’ secrets may be more dangerous than her own…
Paul Feig, most well known for directing A Simple Favour, will be bringing the story to life on the big screen.
Paul has shared that the movie will closely follow the plot of the book. “We had a great writer, Rebecca [Sonnenshine],” he told People. “It’s nerve-wracking – like, it’s easy to make something out of a book that’s not good; when a book’s really good, it’s like, oh boy.”
“I think we hit just the perfect balance,” he added.
The Housemaid has been labelled “an unbelievably twisty read that will have you glued to the pages late into the night. Anyone who loves The Woman in the Window, The Wife Between Us and The Girl on the Train won’t be able to put this down!”

The Housemaid cast
Amanda Seyfried will be playing the character of Nina, while Sydney Sweeney will be portraying Millie.
The President of production for the Lionsgate Motion Picture Group said that Amanda and Sydney were “perfect” for the roles because “they’re both mysterious, nuanced and incredibly skilled at becoming characters who don’t reveal everything right away.”
In addition, Brandon Sklenar, known for It Ends With Us and 1923, is also set to star in the film as Nina’s husband, Andrew, and 365 Days‘ Michele Morrone has been cast as their groundskeeper, Enzo.
