Lionsgate Schedules 'The Housemaid' Sequel for 2027 Release

Lionsgate is moving forward with a feature sequel to director Paul Feig's *The Housemaid*, slating the follow-up for a theatrical debut in 2027, according to a report from Deadline.

The studio greenlit the project, titled *The Housemaid's Secret*, in early 2026. The move signals an aggressive push to capitalize on the literary suspense property penned by author Freida McFadden.

Several core cast and crew members involved in the first picture are set to reprise their duties for the second installment. The studio aims to maintain creative continuity across both the production pipeline and on-screen talent.

For Lionsgate, transforming the psychological thriller into an ongoing screen brand aligns with an industry-wide pivot toward reliable mid-budget theatrical fare. As Hollywood Tomorrow notes, literary adaptations with built-in thriller audiences provide studios with controlled production expenses alongside predictable box office floors.

Additional casting confirmations and specific production timelines are expected to emerge as the studio locks in its development slate ahead of the 2027 theatrical window.
