The original film “The Housemaid” proved to be a significant success. Given that it’s based on a book series with two existing sequels and a third currently in development, it was a natural progression for Lionsgate to quickly announce further film adaptations. The next installment, titled “The Housemaid’s Secret” – mirroring the novel it’s adapted from – will feature Sydney Sweeney reprising her starring role.
As previously reported, Kirsten Dunst is also set to join the cast, taking on a key counterpart role. We now have a confirmed date to see these two on the big screen: the official announcement for the film series reveals that “The Housemaid’s Secret” is scheduled for release on December 17, 2027. This particular release date highlights Lionsgate’s immense confidence in the upcoming movie.
This bold scheduling decision is noteworthy because it places “The Housemaid’s Secret” directly opposite Marvel’s highly anticipated blockbuster, “Avengers: Secret Wars.” Considering the expected aggressive marketing and colossal appeal of the Marvel epic, it’s widely anticipated to overshadow nearly all other releases during that period. It remains to be seen how “The Housemaid’s Secret” will manage to draw audiences amidst such formidable competition.
