I realize it’s a bit early to be counting down the days to a December release on the 2027 movie schedule; however, that’s exactly what I’m doing with The Housemaid’s sequel. That’s because the book-to-screen adaptation of The Housemaid’s Secret is making big moves, as it recently cast Brittany Snow as Marybeth. And her celebration video has got me very, very excited.
Not long after The Housemaid had a remarkable run at the box office, the sequel was greenlit. Now, we’ve been getting periodic updates about it, and specifically, its newest cast members. Most recently, it was revealed that Brittany Snow has joined the ensemble, as the actress, the film and more posted on Instagram:
Well, this is both cute and extremely exciting, and I cannot wait to see The Hunting Wives star in this twisty thriller. Sydney Sweeney is excited about it too, as the Millie actress commented on the post:
Couldn’t be more excited ❤️
As I mentioned, Snow will be playing Marybeth in this adaptation of Freida McFadden’s novel. According to Variety, her character is “an unassuming receptionist at” the company run by the man Sweeney’s character, Millie, works for. However, we don’t know many details yet about how her character will be involved in the story.
The book’s synopsis states that Millie takes a job working for the Garricks, who have some deep and dark secrets. She’s notably not allowed to see Mrs. Garrick or their guest bedroom. However, once she goes in that room, Millie makes a vow to “protect Mrs. Garrick while keeping [her] own secrets locked up safe.”
Speaking of the Garricks, they will be played by Kirsten Dunst (who was the first new A-lister added to The Housemaid 2’s cast) and Paul Anthony Kelly, who you might recognize from his breakout role as John F. Kennedy Jr. in Love Story. Now that Snow is in the mix, this new ensemble is shaping up to be just as iconic as the first film’s cast.
Speaking of the first film’s team, Sydney Sweeney will obviously be back to lead the movie as Millie and serve as a producer, and Paul Feig is returning to direct. On top of all that, Amanda Seyfried said “they’re finding a way” to get her back too.
While The Housemaid follows a toxic family (and its sequel will as well), it’s clear this ensemble is anything but that. They all seem genuinely thrilled to be making The Housemaid’s sequel, and it was obvious that the original cast adored making that first movie.
Now, with all that said, you better believe I’ll be ready to see the twisted tale they create on the big screen when The Housemaid’s Secret hits theaters on December 17, 2027.
