A sequel to Paul Feig’s The Housemaid will hit the big screen in 2027.

The film started coming together at the beginning of 2026 when it was greenlit by Lionsgate. Several faces both in front of and behind the camera in the first film will return to reprise their roles for the second, titled The Housemaid’s Secret.

Read on for everything we know about The Housemaid’s Secret movie adaptation below:

When will The Housemaid’s Secret movie come out?

The film has set its sights on Dec. 17, 2027 to bow in theaters, exactly two years after the first film arrived in 2025. Production is set to take place this fall, as Paul Feig told Deadline at the Oscars.

Who will be in the cast of The Housemaid’s Secret movie? Who is coming back from the first film?

Sydney Sweeney will reprise her role of Millie Calloway, who nannied and kept house for Nina Winchester (Amanda Seyfried) in the first film. Neither Seyfried’s Winchester nor Brandon Sklenar’s Andrew Winchester will be in the second film, with the latter meeting a fatal end in The Housemaid (2025). Michele Morrone will reprise his role of Enzo, the gardener.

As for new faces, Kirsten Dunst will star opposite Sweeney this second time around as Wendy Garrick. Paul Anthony Kelly (Love Story) will make his film debut as Wendy’s billionaire husband, Douglas Garrick. Brittany Snow has also joined the film as Marybeth.

What is The Housemaid’s Secret about?

Sweeney’s Mille Calloway will take on a new housekeeping job for a woman she’s never allowed to see. Another locked door threatens to explore secrets much darker than Millie’s. The film will be based on Frieda McFadden’s sequel novel of the same name, which published in 2023.

Who else is behind The Housemaid’s Secret?

Sweeney will also executive produce. Paul Feig is returning to direct from a script by Rebecca Sonnenshine, who adapted The Housemaid.

Producers will include Todd Lieberman of Hidden Pictures, Feig and Laura Fischer of Feig’s Pretty Dangerous Pictures, and Hidden Pictures’ Carly Elter and Alex Young. Author McFadden will also serve as an executive producer. 

The film will be overseen by Lionsgate’s Chelsea Kujawa, who also oversaw the first film and brought the project into the studio, alongside Maria Ascanio. Robert Melnik negotiated deals for the studio.

As Chris Hansen gets the A24 treatment with Primetime, he’s keeping an open mind.

The former host of To Catch a Predator recently confirmed he’s “going to see” the Lance Oppenheim-helmed thriller, which stars Robert Pattinson as Hansen, after the film’s team invited him to a private screening.

“We had heard that this was in the works. A couple months ago, they came out and said, ‘Hey, look, we’re doing this. We’d like you to have some sort of consideration in terms of helping us with this.’ I haven’t seen it,” he said on the Serialously podcast. “I’m going to get a private screening in the next week or so and then I’ll be able to tell you whether I like it or don’t like it, and how dramatized it is.”

Hansen added, “My suspicion is that they used my name because it helps in a commercial enterprise. And until I see the full movie, I as a reporter—it’s sort of silly for me to talk about something that I haven’t seen yet. So, I’m going to see it.”

Noting he’s “seen the trailer” for the Ajon Singh-penned film, Hansen said it “looks very dramatic.”

“But again, I’ve been busy being the real Chris Hansen, so I don’t have a lot of time to focus on the fake Chris Hansen,” he said of Pattinson. “I know that he’s a very popular actor. I know that the director is a popular guy, but I also have some questions. What’s Hollywood’s motive here? We don’t know, but I’ll find out and I’ll promise I’ll let you know.”

With Pattinson playing him, Hansen explained he “didn’t get to choose my own guy here,” revealing who he had in mind. “I had discussions years ago—I had crafted a script, and I thought Dennis Leary would be a good guy to play me, depending on the age of it all,” he said.

Premiering Sept. 25 in theaters, Primetime follows Chris Hansen (Pattinson) as he attempts to make television history with NBC’s To Catch a Predator (2004-’07), a hidden camera show that set up stings for adult men seeking sex from minors online.

The Georgian film industry is, in Ana Urushadze’s words, “in a dead-end situation.”

Directors, producers, writers and performers are boycotting the Georgian National Film Center (GNFC). Among other issues, they’re protesting the state funding agency over censorship concerns. “Unfortunately, the people who should care and have the means to turn the situation around don’t do that. It’s a dead-end situation at this point,” she says. “The people boycotting, I know many of them and there are very, very talented people there. Ones who have not had any possibility to do a feature film yet, and possibly will not have [the chance] in the near future. Time goes by, and films are not being made.”

Urushadze’s second feature film, premiering in competition at the Sarajevo Film Festival nine years after her debut film Scary Mother won the Heart of Sarajevo, was one of the last projects to make it out before the situation worsened.

The Tbilisi-set Supporting Role follows Niaz Ninua (played by Dato Bakhtadze), a fading Georgian film star accustomed to playing heroic lead roles. After meeting with a young, female director, Aza (Elene Maisuradze), who offers him the chance to play a bizarre and deeply unsympathetic character in her debut feature, Niaz leaves the audition unconvinced (and pretty offended). But he soon embarks on something of an odyssey around the city and gradually surrenders to the role. Captivated by the unknown, meeting characters as elusive as those in a Homer epic, Niaz sets in motion an irreversible process of self-transformation.

“To me, ultimately, it’s a film about realizing the elusive nature of reality, and taking control of your life,” the Georgian filmmaker tells The Hollywood Reporter from Sarajevo’s National Theatre on Wednesday. We are catching up ahead of the movie’s competition premiere before a star-studded jury — led by Oscar nominee Emily Watson — decides on a winning film later this week.

Urushadze’s meta-ish project is inspired by a lot of prevalent, 21st-century themes: the generational gap, creative liberation and legacy. Inspiration struck when she herself was casting the main actor for her debut feature. “I was meeting all these men [who were] 60, 70 years old. And I had a really interesting encounter with one of them who got offended because I was very young — very [much] a beginner,” she laughs. “He was waiting for a more established director and he rushed out. It was really inspirational for me. I started thinking about this character: ‘Who is it? What would he be like?’”

Niaz is played with self-effacing vulnerability by Bakhtadze, who is “a delight” to work with, according to the director. “You can really see how he loves and how comfortable he is in what he’s doing. It’s always inspiring to see people doing something that they are really passionate about and professional,” she says. The journey he goes on is about “letting go of the script that others gave you — literally,” explains Urushadze.

She admits that themes around the ego and male fragility weren’t exactly planned. “Many actors of that generation have shared traits — they lived through the same era, the same problems, and it automatically marked them in some way. That by itself appears in the film, but it wasn’t my main idea. I didn’t really overthink it. It happened by itself,” Urushadze says. “There is a big generation gap,” she adds. “[Aza] is, I guess, Gen Z, and he’s the boomer generation. It’s a very big gap. Especially in Georgia.”

Being in Sarajevo is, however, a privilege — no matter how bad things are in the Georgian film industry. “I’m very, very happy to be here, and it’s very important. Especially in this [current climate], when you don’t really see perspective,” Urushadze beams. “And it gives you opportunities to connect with people, to share new ideas and get someone interested in a new project.

Is she thinking about that next project yet? And is she staying resolute in the face of a warring film community? “By all means, of course. I take it one step at a time. I have a new idea, I’m working on it. I’m trying to make a script, and it’s a pity that maybe it won’t be Georgian — the next one. I don’t know. You have to have a major fund from Georgia for it to be called a Georgian [production], but I don’t want to stop doing what I love.”

The 2026 Sarajevo Film Festival runs Aug. 14-21.
