Amanda Seyfried and Sydney Sweeney's 'The Housemaid' Gets London Stage Premiere

Lionsgate is bringing 'The Housemaid' to the London stage, with a new adaptation set to premiere next fall in Richmond. The production is based on Freida McFadden's bestselling novel and Paul Feig's 2025 film, which starred Sydney Sweeney as Millie, a troubled young woman who takes a job as a housemaid for a wealthy couple, played by Amanda Seyfried and another actor. Described as a 'seductive psychological thriller,' the story explores themes of power, obsession, and class. The stage version aims to capture the novel's twisty suspense for live audiences. With the film having generated significant buzz, this theatrical adaptation signals Lionsgate's push to expand the franchise across multiple platforms. The London premiere could pave the way for further international productions, tapping into the enduring appeal of psychological thrillers. Fans of the book and movie will be watching closely to see how the story translates to the stage.
