Universal has picked up the rights to the upcoming novel The Maid, which they are set to adapt for the screen.

Florence Pugh is set to star as the title character in the murder mystery “set at the Regency Grand Hotel, where Molly the maid leaves every room perfect and pristine, while getting to know each guest’s dirty secrets. A Clue-like, locked-room whodunnit, The Maid explores Molly’s descent into the murderous underbelly of her gilded workplace, while telling a timely story about the strengths of our differences.”

The novel, written by Vice President and Editorial Director at Simon & Schuster Canada Nita Pronovost (writing as Nita Prose), is set to debut the highly-anticipated and sought-after novel in 2022. Pugh is a fantastic actress, and it’s great to see another project for her to headline. It seems pretty far off, but we will let you know when we hear more.
