Sydney Sweeney first broke out thanks to her roles in HBO originals like Euphoria and The White Lotus, but now she’s due to start a new

twisty thriller that just got an exciting update. Sweeney stars alongside 1923 veteran Brandon Sklenar and Amanda Seyfried in The

Housemaid, which is based on the book of the same name by Freida McFadden. The Housemaid is scheduled to premiere exclusively in

 

 

theaters this Friday, but the review embargo for the film lifted yesterday, and it’s now earned enough scores to be given a rating on Rotten Tomatoes. At the time of writing, from 53 reviews, The Housemaid currently sits at a 77% score from critics on the aggregate site.

 

 

Earlier this year, it was announced that Brendan Sklenar will lead Taylor Sheridan’s return to filmmaking in his new action thriller, F.A.S.T. Other names, such as LaKeith Stanfield, Jason Clarke, and Sam Claflin, have also joined the cast of the film, which is due in theaters on April 23, 2027. The action thriller is already being called Taylor Sheridan’s Sicario replacement, which likely comes as a result of the

 

 

reported drug crime aspect of the plot. Sheridan made his feature writing debut in 2015 on Sicario, and it’s still hailed to this day as one of his best projects. Fans are expecting him to recapture the magic in F.A.S.T. when it arrives in theaters in 2027.

The Housemaid will also serve as something of a coming-out party for Sweeney’s costar, Brandon Sklenar, whose biggest role comes in the Taylor Sheridan-penned Yellowstone prequel, 1923. Earlier this year, Sklenar did star in another twisty thriller, Drop, alongside Meghann Fahy. The film was well-liked and grossed 28 million at the box office, but The Housemaid has a chance to be a much bigger moment for his career if it can find the right audience.
