Top Actors to Portray Millie, Enzo & More

For those who crave a captivating thriller with an iconic twist, Frieda McFadden offers not just one, but an entire trilogy with the series The Housemaid.

The first book introduces Millie, a young woman striving for a new beginning after her release from prison. She secures a job as a housemaid for a wealthy couple. However, things aren’t what they seem and soon take a dramatic turn behind closed doors. Millie starts to believe she has traded one prison for another.

In April 2023, it was announced that Rebecca Sonnenshine would lead the film adaptation for Lionsgate. Sonnenshine is acclaimed for her work as creator and showrunner of the supernatural horror series Archive 81 and as a producer for the dark superhero series The Boys.

The decision to make a movie adaptation isn’t unexpected, given the book’s success. It has remained on the Amazon bestsellers list for nearly a year and has sold over a million copies.

The third and final installment, The Housemaid Is Watching, was released this past June. Speculation is rife about who might portray original characters like Millie and Enzo, as well as new characters such as their children Nico and Ada.

As we eagerly await the completion of the film adaptation, fans are left to wonder who will bring these thrilling characters to life on screen.
