From director Paul Feig, the film plunges audiences into a twisted world where perfection is an illusion, and nothing is as it seems. Trying to escape her past, Millie (Sweeney) accepts a job as a live-in housemaid for the wealthy Nina (Seyfried) and Andrew Winchester (Brandon Sklenar). But what begins as a dream job quickly unravels into something far more dangerous \u2014 a sexy, seductive game of secrets, scandal, and power. Behind the Winchesters\u2019 closed doors lies a world of shocking twists that will leave you guessing until the very end.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium_large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"788\" height=\"525\" src=\"https:\/\/www.maxim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/HOUSEMAID_Unit_250113_00310RC2_Crop2C3-788x525.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-271204\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.maxim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/HOUSEMAID_Unit_250113_00310RC2_Crop2C3-788x525.jpg 788w, https:\/\/www.maxim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/HOUSEMAID_Unit_250113_00310RC2_Crop2C3-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https:\/\/www.maxim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/HOUSEMAID_Unit_250113_00310RC2_Crop2C3-428x285.jpg 428w, https:\/\/www.maxim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/HOUSEMAID_Unit_250113_00310RC2_Crop2C3-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.maxim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/HOUSEMAID_Unit_250113_00310RC2_Crop2C3-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.maxim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/HOUSEMAID_Unit_250113_00310RC2_Crop2C3-414x276.jpg 414w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 788px) 100vw, 788px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Amanda Seyfried as Nina Winchester in<em> The Housemaid.<\/em> (Photo Credit: Daniel McFadden\/Lionsgate)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"iframe-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Housemaid (2025) Official Trailer \u2013 Sydney Sweeney, Amanda Seyfried, Brandon Sklenar\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/48CtX6OgU3s?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, in other Sweeney news, the trailer for <em>Christy,<\/em> a heart-tugging drama about &#8217;90s-era boxing champ Christy Martin, just dropped on September 11.
