Brittany Snow is stepping into a new mystery as she joins the cast of The Housemaid’s Secret, Lionsgate’s upcoming sequel to the successful psychological thriller The Housemaid.
The Pitch Perfect and The Hunting Wives actress is joining a cast led by Sydney Sweeney, with Kirsten Dunst, Paul Anthony Kelly and Michele Morrone also attached to the project.
Snow will play Marybeth, a new character whose importance to the story is being kept under wraps for now.
Brittany Snow Joins the Psychological Thriller Sequel
The upcoming movie continues the story surrounding Millie, the central character introduced in The Housemaid.
In the sequel, Millie takes on a new housekeeping job connected to a secluded and mysterious household. She soon realizes that the rules surrounding the property are anything but ordinary.
As unsettling incidents begin to unfold, Millie finds herself drawn toward secrets that the people inside the home are determined to keep hidden.
The discovery of what lies behind a locked door threatens to pull her into another dangerous situation, forcing her to confront a disturbing side of the world she thought she had left behind.
Snow’s Marybeth is expected to add another layer to the increasingly complicated story, although details about the character are currently being kept confidential.
Sydney Sweeney Returns as Millie
Sydney Sweeney is returning to the role of Millie after starring in the first installment.
The sequel reunites Sweeney with director Paul Feig, who returns behind the camera following the commercial success of The Housemaid.
Feig will also produce the movie alongside Laura Fischer through Pretty Dangerous Pictures and Todd Lieberman of Hidden Pictures.
Sweeney is additionally involved as a producer through her production banner, Honey Trap.
Michele Morrone Returns as Enzo
Fans of the first movie will also see Michele Morrone return as Enzo.
His return provides a direct connection between the original film and the upcoming sequel while expanding the world established in the first chapter.
Kirsten Dunst and Paul Anthony Kelly are also part of the new cast, joining Snow and Sweeney as the story moves into a new chapter.
Based on Freida McFadden’s Bestselling Books
The Housemaid’s Secret continues Lionsgate’s adaptation of author Freida McFadden’s psychological thriller universe.
The film series is based on McFadden’s bestselling books, which have attracted a large readership with their combination of domestic suspense, hidden identities and unexpected twists.
Lionsgate obtained rights connected to McFadden’s trilogy and an additional short story, giving the studio the opportunity to explore more stories within the same literary universe.
The success of the first movie has also created a larger opportunity for future adaptations.
Rebecca Sonnenshine Returns to Write
Screenwriter Rebecca Sonnenshine, who adapted the original novel for the first film, is returning to write the sequel.
Carly Elter is also returning as an executive producer after working on the first movie for Hidden Pictures.
Alex Young will serve as another executive producer, while Kaylee McGregor of Honey Trap is attached as co-producer.
The returning creative team gives the sequel continuity while introducing a fresh cast of characters around Millie’s latest mystery.
Brittany Snow’s Growing Screen Presence
Snow arrives at The Housemaid’s Secret with a career spanning comedy, drama, musicals and horror.
She became particularly well known for playing Chloe Beale in the Pitch Perfect film series and has also appeared in movies including John Tucker Must Die and Hairspray.
More recently, Snow has been starring in Netflix’s drama series The Hunting Wives, which has been renewed for a second season.
Her film credits also include Ti West’s acclaimed horror movie X, showcasing the actress in a darker genre role.
Her involvement in The Housemaid’s Secret therefore marks another move into psychologically intense material.
When Does The Housemaid’s Secret Come Out?
Lionsgate currently has The Housemaid’s Secret scheduled to open exclusively in theaters on December 17, 2027.
With Sydney Sweeney returning, Michele Morrone reprising his role and Brittany Snow joining as a new addition, the sequel is building a cast designed to expand the world of the original thriller.
For fans of Freida McFadden’s books and the first Housemaid movie, the arrival of a new mystery — and a character whose true role remains undisclosed — could make the sequel one of the more closely watched psychological thrillers heading to theaters in 2027.
