Kirsten Dunst Joins 'The Housemaid 2' Starring Sydney Sweeney and Michele Morrone Kirsten Dunst is set to return to the screen in the highly anticipated sequel to The Housemaid, titled The Housemaid’s Secret. The project, which has already begun production, will reunite Dunst with Sydney Sweeney, who will reprise her role from the original film. The creative team behind the first installment, including director Paul Feig and writer Rebecca Sonnenshine, has confirmed their return for the sequel, adding to the excitement surrounding the project. Michele Morrone, who played the character Enzo in the first film, will also rejoin the cast for the second installment. Dunst’s casting marks a significant addition to the cast, with the production company’s president praising her as an “icon” and highlighting her “extraordinary range and fearlessness.” The statement emphasized her dynamic presence alongside Sweeney, who is described as “ever-magnetic,” in a story where “nothing is ever quite as it seems.” The sequel is expected to expand on the mysterious and suspenseful elements of the original film, which centered on a broke student who becomes a housemaid in a wealthy household, uncovering hidden secrets and lies within the family. This role follows Dunst’s recent appearances in other projects, including her collaboration with Channing Tatum in The Roofman and her involvement in the Minecraft movie sequel. Dunst took to social media to announce her Minecraft role, expressing her excitement with a post featuring a fire emoji and a chicken leg emoji. Her continued engagement in high-profile sequels underscores her enduring presence in Hollywood. The original The Housemaid film, released earlier, followed the story of a young woman who takes a job as a housemaid in a affluent neighborhood.#kirsten_dunst #sydney_sweeney #rebecca_sonnenshine #paul_feig #michele_morrone
The Housemaid’s Secret Adds Kirsten Dunst Opposite Sydney Sweeney Lionsgate has announced the cast for the sequel to its 2025 hit The Housemaid, with Kirsten Dunst joining Sydney Sweeney in The Housemaid’s Secret. Based on Freida McFadden’s second book in the Housemaid series, the film will be directed by Paul Feig, who also helmed the original. Feig will collaborate with producers Todd Lieberman via Hidden Pictures, Lieberman’s Pretty Dangerous Pictures, and Sweeney’s Fifty-Fifty Films. Screenwriter Rebecca Sonnenshine, who adapted the first novel into the successful film, will return to pen the sequel. Michele Morrone, who played Enzo in the original, will reprise his role. The sequel follows Millie, portrayed by Sweeney, as she takes a housekeeping job for a woman she has never met. The plot centers on her discovery of a locked door that reveals secrets far more sinister than she anticipated. The project will be executive produced by Carly Elter of Hidden Pictures, Alex Young of Hidden Pictures, and Fifty-Fifty’s Kaylee McGregor. Lionsgate’s decision to cast Dunst was driven by her status as an A-lister and her recent work in Roofman. The studio secured her after a series of meetings, recognizing her as a perfect match for the role. Dunst, who is also set to star in the sequel to A Minecraft Movie and Ruben Östlund’s The Entertainment System Is Down, has been in high demand following her performance in Roofman. The original The Housemaid became a global box office success, grossing nearly $400 million worldwide after its holiday release. Lionsgate’s swift move to lock in Sweeney’s schedule and secure Dunst for the sequel underscores the film’s anticipated commercial potential.#kirsten_dunst #sydney_sweeney #paul_feig #hidden_pictures #fifty_fifty_films
