Paul Feig’s ‘The Housemaid’s Secret’ Sequel Greenlit by Lionsgate, Set for Theatrical Release in 2027

A sequel to Paul Feig’s The Housemaid is moving toward a theatrical release in 2027, according to Deadline, which reports that Lionsgate has greenlit the project and that it began to come together in early 2026.

Deadline’s report says Lionsgate approved the movie in the first months of 2026, setting a timeline for additional development work that will ultimately lead to a 2027 big-screen debut.

The sequel is titled The Housemaid’s Secret, continuing the title branding from Feig’s earlier feature while positioning the follow-up as a continuation of the first film’s story universe.

Deadline also reports that several people associated with the first movie are expected to return for the sequel, both in front of the camera and behind it, reprising roles from the prior installment. The outlet does not specify names in its summary.

Paul Feig is central to the project as the filmmaker behind the original and the follow-up, with the studio’s 2026 greenlight described as the point at which the sequel began assembling its creative and production lineup.

With the 2027 theatrical target in place, the next steps described by Deadline center on development and the formalizing of production commitments, including confirming the returning team and roles referenced in the outlet’s overview.

The report frames the sequel as a studio-run feature, with Lionsgate serving as the entity that initially authorized the project, and with Feig and the creative personnel associated with The Housemaid expected to carry over into the new installment.
