The Housemaid 2025

The 2025 adaptation of The Housemaid, directed by Paul Feig and based on the bestselling psychological thriller by Freida McFadden, follows the story of Millie Calloway (Sydney Sweeney), a young woman with a criminal past desperately seeking a fresh start. She is hired as a live-in maid for the wealthy Winchester family in their secluded Long Island estate. While the job initially seems like a godsend, Millie quickly discovers that the glamorous Nina Winchester (Amanda Seyfried) is erratic and mentally unstable, frequently setting Millie up for failure. As Millie begins a clandestine affair with Nina’s seemingly perfect husband, Andrew (Brandon Sklenar), she learns that the household hides a dark history, including rumors of Nina’s past attempt to harm their daughter, Cece. However, the film takes a sharp turn when it is revealed that Nina intentionally hired Millie—knowing her violent criminal history—to act as a protector and ultimate escape from Andrew, who is actually a serial abuser who locks his wives in the attic. In a violent climax, Millie kills Andrew to save Nina from his assault, and the two women orchestrate the scene to look like an accident. The film ends with Millie receiving a substantial payout from Nina and moving on to her next "job," hinted to be helping another abused wife eliminate her husband. The film features a star-studded cast led by Sydney Sweeney as the resilient but dangerous Millie Calloway and Amanda Seyfried as the calculating Nina Winchester. Brandon Sklenar portrays the villainous Andrew Winchester, while Michele Morrone plays Enzo, the mysterious gardener who provides Millie with cryptic warnings. The supporting cast includes Elizabeth Perkins as Andrew’s overbearing mother, Evelyn, and Indiana Elie as the couple’s daughter, Cecilia. Directed by Paul Feig, known for his work on A Simple Favor, the film leans into the "domestic thriller" genre with a mix of high-gloss tension and dark, campy undertones. Released on December 19, 2025, The Housemaid became a major commercial success, serving as a "box office comeback" for Sydney Sweeney. Produced on a modest budget of approximately $35 million, the film has grossed over $75.7 million domestically and reached a worldwide total of $133 million as of early January 2026. It outperformed expectations during the competitive holiday season, benefiting from strong word-of-mouth and a "Certified Fresh" rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The film's success has already sparked discussions regarding adaptations of the book's sequels, The Housemaid’s Secret and The Housemaid Is Watching.As a Lionsgate production, the film is currently in its exclusive theatrical window. While a specific worldwide streaming date has not been officially announced, it is expected to follow the typical 45-to-90-day theatrical-to-digital pipeline. In the United States, the film is slated to eventually stream on Peacock and Starz due to existing licensing agreements. Internationally, the streaming home will vary by region, likely appearing on platforms like Prime Video or Netflix in late spring 2026. Currently, the film remains available only in cinemas and is expected to hit Premium Video on Demand (PVOD) platforms for digital purchase by late February 2026. Read More
