Kirsten Dunst Joins the Cast of THE HOUSEMAID Sequel With Returning Star Sydney Sweeney
Academy Award, Emmy, and Golden Globe nominee Kirsten Dunst (Spider-Man, Fargo, The Power of the Dog) is set to star in the sequel The Housemaid’s Secret alongside returning star Sydney Sweeney.
The film is the follow-up to 2025’s box office hit The Housemaid, based on Freida McFadden’s bestselling novels.
The twisted story follows Sweeney as Millie, a young woman with a mysterious past who is hired as the live-in maid for a wealthy family with a dark secret.
In the sequel, Millie returns, and per the plot description, she takes a job “keeping house for a woman she’s never allowed to see — only to discover the truth behind the locked door that threatens to expose secrets far darker than her own.”
Paul Feig will direct The Housemaid’s Secret, returning alongside screenwriter Rebecca Sonnenshine, who adapted the first book. Michele Morrone will also return as the groundskeeper Enzo, reprising his role from the first film.
Amanda Seyfried and Brandon Sklenar, who play the husband and wife whose perfect life is far from what it seems in the original, won’t be back for the sequel as the story focuses on a new family.
Dunst was last seen in Roofman with Channing Tatum and Civil War from Alex Garland. She recently joined the cast of A Minecraft Movie 2, which is slated to release next June. She will also star in director Ruben Östlund’s next film The Entertainment System Is Down.
