The housemaid thriller arrives on streaming in a new format

In a surprise move, the highly anticipated psychological thriller adaptation of Freida McFadden's bestseller 'The Housemaid' has skipped the usual VoD release and landed on Prime Video, but with a twist. The film, directed by Paul Feig, is now exclusive to MGM+, Amazon's premium add-on channel.

Dark family secrets unravel in the housemaid

This dark and twisted tale follows Sydney Sweeney's character, a young woman with a troubled past, who takes a job as a housemaid for the seemingly perfect Winchester family. As she delves deeper into their lives, she uncovers shocking secrets that put her own safety at risk.

The Housemaid boasts a stellar cast, with Amanda Seyfried playing the enigmatic and wealthy matriarch. The two actresses deliver standout performances in a gripping battle of wits between their characters.

The film's success in theaters, with a budget of just $35 million and global box office earnings of $383 million, has paved the way for a sequel. Now, viewers can experience the suspenseful drama from the comfort of their homes, as MGM+ offers a 7-day free trial for new subscribers.
