As a guide lover, I’m all the time being attentive to what upcoming guide diversifications are on the horizon, and fairly just a few 2025 motion pictures are primarily based on standard novels. One other Bridget Jones guide is being become a film, and Stephen King’s The Operating Man is being made with Glen Powell, however now I’m significantly getting invested in The Housemaid adaptation.
Now, I haven’t learn The Housemaid, but it surely’s been introduced that Amanda Seyfried and Sydney Sweeney are main the variation alongside It Ends With Us’s Brandon Sklenor and 365 Days’ Michele Morrone. The film is being helmed by Paul Feig of Bridesmaids and A Easy Favor fame – each motion pictures I like. Now the individuals behind the film’s manufacturing posted this hilarious video on their socials to have fun the start of filming:
The core solid of The Housemaid, alongside its director made a social media video that teases the plot of the story, and once I let you know I went instantly to my library app to see if it was obtainable after seeing this. I believed it is likely to be a sew of a response video of the guide itself, and I used to be completely proper. Right here’s the unique video from TikTok’s @bookclubwannabe:

OK, I used to be not anticipating this guide to sound so spicy with plot! Now that I’ve appeared into it additional, Freida McFadden’s novel is a psychological thriller a few younger lady named Millie (whom Sydney Sweeney will play) who’s lately been launched from jail and earns a place as a live-in housemaid for a rich couple, the Winchesters (performed by Amanda Seyfried and Sklenar).
Apparently issues go sideways when Millie begins noticing some very weird habits from Nina, together with being supplied a room within the attic, which solely locks from the surface. Suffice to say, this feels like one wild trip of a guide, and between the announcement video and the unique TikTok that tracked one reader’s response to all of the happenings of the novel, I’ll completely be seated for this film.
Among the plotlines of the novel are hinted at within the video, with the soundbites suggesting Nina is “truly clinically insane,” to “it’s the delulu for me” or Sweeney mouthing how the Winchester’s put their housemaid “in a cot with an itchy blanket.” The solid is clearly having a blast with the entire thing, and I’m positive anybody who learn the guide is joyful to see all of them with the novel of their arms on the set of the film.
Simply a few weeks in the past, Selection reported that The Housemaid would formally be launched by Lionsgate on Christmas Day in 2025 alongside the Timothée Chalamet sports activities drama Marty Supreme. The advertising and marketing for The Housemaid already ate and left no crumbs, and manufacturing has solely simply begun.
