It Ends With Us Actor Brandon Sklenar Set To Star In Paul Feig’s The Housemaid Alongside Sydney Sweeney And Amanda Seyfried

As an ardent fan of gripping psychological thrillers and captivating performances, I can hardly contain my excitement for The Housemaid! Brandon Sklenar, who has already proven his mettle with his spellbinding portrayal of Spencer Dutton in 1923 alongside the legendary Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren, is about to mesmerize us once again.


In an upcoming project, Brandon Sklenar, known for his role in “It Ends With Us” with Blake Lively, will be joining forces with Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried. This exciting new film, titled “The Housemaid,” is a highly anticipated psychological thriller, helmed by director Paul Feig and produced by Lionsgate.

Sklenar’s recent film adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s well-known novel has brought in an impressive total of $348.2 million worldwide, securing its position as a box office hit. Yet, it is his role in the Yellowstone spinoff series titled 1923 that truly catapulted him to fame, where he acted alongside Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren as Spencer Dutton.

In this adaptation, titled “The Housemaid,” inspired by Freida McFadden’s novel, Sweeney from Euphoria portrays Millie, a young woman with a complex past who becomes a live-in maid for the alluring Nina and her influential spouse, Andrew. While Sweeney assumes the part of Nina, Sklenar will grace the screen as Andrew in the upcoming film.

As Millie grows comfortable in her household position, she unearths a multitude of long-hidden family secrets that turn out to be far more damaging than anything previously suggested by her personal history. The screenplay, penned by Rebecca Sonnenshine, is an adaptation from McFadden’s 2022 bestselling book, which has garnered over 3.6 million copies in sales worldwide.

The Maidservant has been translated into more than forty different languages. According to Deadline, this book that topped the New York Times bestseller list boasts a staggering half-billion pages read on Kindle. Furthermore, it ranked as the second most popular title following the Harry Potter series for Kindle’s 10th anniversary.

For this specific project, we have an exceptional crew in charge, comprising Todd Lieberman, Carly Kleinbart Elter, Feig, and Laura Fischer, along with executive producers Sweeney, Seyfried, Alex Young, and McFadden. Lionsgate executives Chelsea Kujawa and Erin Jones-Wesley will oversee the project’s management as well.

Talking under Time Constraint, Adam Fogelson, head of Lionsgate Motion Picture Group, conveyed his enthusiasm upon the movie’s announcement. He stated, “A fantastic director, an outstanding cast with a brilliant script from a remarkable book sets us off on the right track. My past collaborations with Paul and Amanda have been nothing less than extraordinary, and Sydney is equally gifted and captivating.

Feig’s future work lineup includes the second part of A Simple Favor, featuring Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick. This installment is set for release in the springtime of next year. Additionally, it’s rumored that a sequel to Brandon Sklenar’s 1923 is currently being developed.
