‘The Housemaid’ Trailer: Sydney Sweeney Gets Bloody as Amanda Seyfried’s Suspicious Maid in Novel Adaptation

From behind closed doors, “The Housemaid” sees everything.

The first trailer for Lionsgate’s “The Housemaid” has officially been unveiled. The film, which is directed by Paul Feig and written by Rebecca Sonnenshine, will star Sydney Sweeney, Amanda Seyfried, Brandon Sklenar and Michele Morrone.

Based on Frieda McFadden’s 2022 novel of the same name, “The Housemaid” follows Millie (Sweeney), a young woman who finds herself working as a housekeeper for the wealthy Winchester family. Trying to find her footing after a brief stint in jail, Millie works diligently inside the family’s house and becomes closer to the married couple. As she starts to get more familiar with the Winchesters, she soon sees behind the facade of the seemingly perfect family, and finds herself unraveling in the dark secrets that lurk beyond the family’s decadence.

During the film’s trailer reveal at CinemaCon earlier this year, Feig expressed the importance of making a dark psychological thriller for the big screen. “Tension and scares and comedy are so wrapped together. It was a dream come true,” he said.

Sweeney spoke about her excitement about working on the film adaptation as a fan of McFadden’s novel. “I could not put [‘The Housemaid’] down. I ended up reading all three in one week. There’s characters that are flawed, and they are messy.”

“The Housemaid” is produced by Todd Lieberman for Hidden Pictures. Feig and Laura Fischer will also serve as producers on the film.

“The Housemaid” hits theaters on Dec. 19. Check out the trailer below.
