Sydney Sweeney<\/a> has yet another movie in theaters following her critically acclaimed turn in Christy.<\/p>\n

The Emmy nominee, 28, stars in The Housemaid and recently opened up about her love for the story \u2014 which stems from a best-selling novel.<\/p>\n

“I was such a huge fan of the books,” Sweeney told People<\/a> an interview article published Saturday, Dec. 20. “So I would be just as happy as everyone else being able to see more Housemaids come to life<\/a> and getting to explore more of Millie.”<\/p>\n

It’s clear then, that The White Lotus<\/a> star “would love to” return for a sequel to The Housemaid, which is now playing in theaters and also stars Amanda Seyfried<\/a>. Author Freida McFadden has already written two follow-up books to her original novel: The Housemaid’s Secret (2023) and The Housemaid Is Watching (2024).<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, the celebrated writer, 45, told People that she’d “love” to see the other entries make it to the big screen: “That would be a dream. I know [director] Paul Feig would do an amazing job in the sequel. He\u2019s incredible.”<\/p>\n

The\u00a0psychological thriller<\/a>\u00a0follows the\u00a0life\u00a0of Millie (Sweeney), who tries to leave her troubled past behind by taking a live-in housemaid job for the wealthy Winchester couple, Nina (Seyfried) and Andrew (Brandon Sklenar). At first, the job feels almost too good to be true: a stunning home, generous pay and a chance to disappear from her past. But she quickly discovers that the seemingly perfect home hides dark secrets, seduction and scandal.<\/p>\n

Sweeney took to social media this week to tease exclusive photos from set<\/a>, in honor of the Lionsgate film’s official theatrical release. Her Instagram carousel post<\/a> on Friday<\/a> showcases blood-splattered selfies from set, Polaroids of Sweeney and Seyfried, group photos with the renowned cast and more.<\/p>\n
