“The Housemaid” is packing its bags and moving in to blow your minds on Christmas Day 2025. Forget cookies and carols; this year, we’re unwrapping secrets and suspense, courtesy of Lionsgate. Variety spilled the tea, and let’s just say, it’s piping hot.
Who’s in the Cast?
Let’s talk star power! We’ve got Sydney Sweeney, who’s been stealing hearts and wigs in Euphoria, teaming up with Amanda Seyfried, the queen of everything from Mean Girls to The Dropout. Throw in Brandon Sklenar and the smoldering Michele Morrone, and we’ve got a cast so good-looking, you might forget this is a psychological thriller and not a high-fashion runway.
This dream team is backed by the creative genius of Paul Feig, aka the guy who gave us Bridesmaids and made us laugh-cry in public. Screenwriter Rebecca Sonnenshine is handling the script, ensuring every gasp and gasp-for-air moment is perfectly timed.
What’s the Tea?
The plot, in a nutshell: Millie (played by Sweeney) is broke, down on her luck, and probably one late rent payment away from moving into her car. Enter Nina (Seyfried) and Andrew (Sklenar), a fabulously rich couple who hire her as their housemaid. Sounds dreamy, right? WRONG. Turns out, Nina and Andrew have skeletons in their designer closets—and we’re not just talking last season’s couture. Millie quickly realizes she’s signed up for a job that’s less “fluffing pillows” and more “running for her life.”
Erin Westerman of Lionsgate practically fangirled when the project was announced back in October. “Sydney and Amanda are perfect for these roles,” she gushed. “They’re mysterious, layered, and bring that ‘Wait, are they the villain, or am I crazy?’ energy we love.”
Why You Should Care
If you’re one of the million+ readers who devoured Freida McFadden’s The Housemaid, you’re probably already marking your calendar. For everyone else, let me break it down: this book-turned-movie has everything. Twists, turns, secrets, lies, and probably some moments that will have you yelling at the screen like it’s a bad reality TV show.
Lionsgate is betting big on this one, reuniting with Paul Feig after A Simple Favor and its upcoming sequel. If you loved Gone Girl or The Girl on the Train, prepare for The Housemaid to be your new obsession.
Christmas 2025: Prepare for Drama
So, forget decking the halls or roasting chestnuts; you’ve got a date with “The Housemaid” on December 25, 2025. Whether you’re in it for the psychological mind games, the all-star cast, or just to stare at Michele Morrone being ridiculously handsome, one thing’s for sure: this movie is about to clean up.
