Less than three weeks after The Housemaid hit the big screen, a sequel to the Sydney Sweeney-led thriller has now officially been announced.

Based on the novel by Freida McFadden, The Housemaid follows Millie (Sweeney), a woman with a troubled past who takes on a job as a live-in housemaid for a wealthy family, who have dark secrets of their own. Amanda Seyfried plays her employer, Nina Winchester.

"It’s been thrilling to see audiences around the world fall in love with The Housemaid and the incredible work of our talented cast and crew," Feig said in a statement (via Variety). "We’re lucky that Freida McFadden has already extended Millie’s journey on the page, and that we get to work with Rebecca Sonnenshine and Lionsgate to bring this next story to audiences."
