Sydney Sweeney is all set to lead the book-to-screen adaptation of Freida McFadden's bestselling novel The Housemaid. Paul Feig, most celebrated for dark comedies like A Simple Favor, Spy, and more, is at the helm of the offering, promising fans complexity at its best. For those unfamiliar with the book, Sweeney’s character, Millie, serves as an in-house maid with a twisted past to a wealthy couple who have their own twisted secrets. 

The danger is not creeping from under her skin, though, and that makes the drama all the more unsettling. The damsel in distress flipping the script is what makes the story worthwhile, and as mentioned earlier, fans have placed all their faith in the Immaculate star. Moreover, Sweeney’s ability to carry the role convincingly might just open the door to something much bigger for her.
