As of March 28, 2026, The Housemaid has solidified its status as a major commercial juggernaut for Lionsgate, recently crossing the $400 million mark at the worldwide box office to become Sydney Sweeney’s highest-grossing film to date. The R-rated psychological thriller, which also stars Amanda Seyfried and Michele Morrone, has generated significant buzz for its seductive tone and strong performance against competing action films. Public interest remains high as the film transitions to streaming platforms and digital home release, with recent attention focused on an exclusive deleted scene that teases the upcoming sequel. The franchise is currently expanding, with the official announcement that Kirsten Dunst has joined Sydney Sweeney for the follow-up film, titled The Housemaid’s Secret. Despite its success, the production has faced minor headlines regarding behind-the-scenes dynamics, specifically Amanda Seyfried’s candid admission that her producer credit on the first film was a vanity title she was unaware of until well into production. Additionally, the film’s success has bolstered the profile of its production company, Hidden Pictures, which has recently entered into new international partnerships for future projects.
