The Housemaid, the new thriller that just arrived in Brazilian cinemas, is already sparking speculation about a possible sequel. The protagonists Amanda Seyfried and Sydney Sweeney, who play Nina and Millie, respectively, stated in an exclusive interview with Entertainment Weekly that they are completely open to the idea. The film, based on the bestseller of the same name by Freida McFadden, premiered nationally on Thursday, January 1, 2026, and its future now depends directly on the audience’s response, as the actresses revealed. This news gains relevance because the original work is a highly successful literary trilogy, which naturally paves the way for more film adaptations.
As a result of the interest shown by the stars, fans of the suspense plot are beginning to nurture hope for more chapters on the big screen. The story follows Millie, a struggling young woman who accepts a job as a housemaid for an apparently perfect couple, played by Amanda Seyfried and Brandon Sklenar. However, she soon discovers that the family’s secrets are far more dangerous than her own problems. Thus, the universe created by McFadden offers plenty of material for expansion, as it includes three main books and even a spin-off.
The Cast and Source Material
In addition to the main trio, the film’s cast also includes names such as Michele Morrone, in the role of Enzo, and Elizabeth Perkins as Evelyn Winchester. This talented team, therefore, is another asset for a potential franchise. Scheduled to remain in theaters throughout January 2026, The Housemaid has all the cards to win over the audience and justify new projects. The final decision, however, lies with the viewers and the commercial performance of the feature film at the box office.
Thus, while we await the official numbers and the audience’s reaction, the possibility of continuing this suspense story remains in the air. The protagonists have already given their green light, and the source material exists in abundance. Therefore, it is now up to Brazilian fans to decide, with their trip to the cinema, whether this housemaid will have a long career ahead.
