The upcoming film, The Housemaid, is directed by Paul Feig, who is known for his successful female-led comedies like Bridesmaids. It stars Millie Calloway, a young woman who takes a job as a housemaid in the luxurious residence of the Winchester family.

The Housemaid is a gripping thriller that delves into complex social dynamics, exploring themes of seduction, betrayal, and revenge. The story follows Millie, who is eager for a new start, as she becomes immersed in an environment that appears perfect but is secretly laden with tension and dark secrets.

The film is set to be released in the United States on December 19, 2025.

The events unfold within the lavish Winchester mansion—a setting that hides many disturbing truths behind a facade of perfection and wealth.

The movie is an adaptation of the eponymous bestselling novel by Freida McFadden, which captivated audiences with its shocking twists and turns.

Director Paul Feig has playfully described The Housemaid as a sort of "Nancy Meyers movie gone horribly wrong," taking inspiration from the bright, idyllic atmosphere of Meyers' films only to subvert it with elements of intense suspense and tension.
