Brittany Snow, one of the wives of twisty hit series The Hunting Wives, has joined the cast of The Housemaid’s Secret, Lionsgate’s sequel to its surprise hit The Housemaid.
Snow joins a roll call that includes returning star Sydney Sweeney as well as new stars Kirsten Dunst and Paul Anthony Kelly (Love Story). Michele Morrone will also return to star as Enzo, reprising his role from the first film.
Paul Feig returns to direct the thriller. Producing are Todd Lieberman of Hidden Pictures, Laura Fischer and Feig, who produce for Pretty Dangerous Pictures, and Sweeney, producing through her Honey Trap banner.
Based on Freida McFadden’s second book in her Housemaid series, Housemaid’s Secret once again focuses on Millie Calloway, avenger of abused upper class females, who takes on attendant duties for a new (and, of course, wealthy) couple, cleaning their penthouse in the city. When Millie is not allowed to see her new employer, Mrs. Garrick, she immediately becomes suspicious of her husband.
Twists and blindsides abound. All The Hollywood Reporter can say is that Snow will play the role of a character named Marybeth. To say anymore would spoil the fun.
A Dec. 17, 2027 release date has been set.
Housemaid’s Secret is due to being production later this year and the studio says it anticipates adapting even more of McFadden’s beloved thrillers from the world of Housemaid in the years ahead.
Screenwriter Rebecca Sonnenshine, who adapted the first book, wrote the script for The Housemaid’s Secret. Carly Elter, who oversaw the first movie for Hidden Pictures, is returning as executive producer. Alex Young of Hidden Pictures will also executive produce. Honey Trap’s Kaylee McGregor will co-produce.
Chelsea Kujawa and Maria Ascanio are overseeing the film for Lionsgate.
Snow has seen a career resurgence since appearing in Ti West’s horror thriller X. She recently appeared in Netflix’s Emmy-nominated limited series The Beast in Me opposite Claire Danes and Matthew Rhys, Netflix’s The Night Agent, and Hulu’s Murdaugh: Death in the Family on top of the luridly fun Hunting Wives.
She is repped by Gersh, Principal Entertainment LA and Sloane Offer.
