Hoboken spokesperson Marilyn Baer said the production has paid the city roughly $22,000 for permits and temporary no-parking signs.
In a statement, Baer said the Hoboken City Council adopted amendments to the city’s film ordinance earlier this year to increase certain fees and make the city more competitive with other municipalities while maintaining its desirability as a filming location.
“The Housemaid’s Secret” is an adaptation of Frieda McFadden’s 2023 novel of the same name. It is a sequel to the bestselling 2022 novel “The Housemaid,” which was also adapted into a film and released in theaters in 2025.

The sequel follows Millie Calloway (Sweeney), who takes a job as a housekeeper for a woman she is not allowed to see, according to Deadline.
But when she uncovers what’s behind the locked door, secrets darker than her own are revealed.
Sweeney and Morrone also starred in the series’ first installment.
Sweeney was also recently spotted filming the thriller at William Paterson University in Wayne, according to the university’s student-run newspaper, The Beacon, which reported the story Oct. 6.
