Lionsgate Drops New Trailer for Paul Feig’s 'The Housemaid' Ahead of Dec. 19 Theatrical Release

Author Freida McFadden’s enthusiastic endorsement positions the bestseller’s adaptation as a holiday play with sequel runway.

Overview

  • The Nov. 12 preview leans into glossy psychological thrills, showing Amanda Seyfried’s volatile Nina and a bloodied Millie declaring she needs “a f—king sandwich.”
  • Lionsgate is targeting the competitive holiday corridor with a wide U.S. launch on December 19, 2025.
  • Paul Feig directs with a screenplay by Rebecca Sonnenshine, and Feig describes the film as faithful to the novel with added surprises.
  • Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried lead the cast alongside Brandon Sklenar and Michele Morrone.
  • Freida McFadden praised a sneak preview as possibly better than her book, and executives note franchise potential given multiple follow-up novels.
