Year: 2026 · Genre: Thriller, Drama, Mystery · Status: Coming October 9
Story / Synopsis
Sydney Sweeney plays Millie, a young woman trying to leave a troubled past behind who takes a live-in housemaid job with the wealthy Winchester family. On the surface, Nina (Amanda Seyfried) and Andrew Winchester (Brandon Sklenar) seem to have the perfect life — but behind their closed doors lurk secrets, mind games, and twists that turn Millie’s fresh start into a fight for survival. Paul Feig (Bridesmaids, A Simple Favor) directs this adaptation of Freida McFadden’s bestselling 2022 thriller, which became one of the winter’s biggest box-office surprises before heading to streaming.
