"The Maid Is Back": A Well-Known Actress Joins Sydney Swine

Another Hollywood star has officially joined the cast of the sequel to the thriller *The Handmaid*. Brittany Snow will play the new character Marybet, and Sydney Sweeney will reprise her role as Millie Calloway. The premiere of *The Handmaid’s Secret* is scheduled for December 2027.

 

Brittany Snow has joined the cast of *The Handmaid’s Secret*. Viewers may recognize the actress from the series *Wives on the Hunt*. In the new film, she will play a character named Marybet.

However, the creators have not yet revealed what role her character will play in the plot. Details are being kept under wraps, so it’s possible that Marybeth will become part of another mystery in the story. Snow will be joined on set by Sydney Sweeney, Kirsten Dunst, Paul Anthony Kelly, and Michele Morrone. Morrone will reprise his role as Enzo. Paul Feig, who also directed the first film, will return to direct the sequel.

What “The Maid’s Secret” Is About

The new film is once again based on a novel by Frida McFadden. This time, Millie Calloway takes a job as a maid for yet another wealthy family. At first, the job may seem ordinary, but very quickly, she realizes that something is off in the house.

Millie begins to notice strange things in the luxurious penthouse. She finds it particularly suspicious that she’s forbidden from seeing the lady of the house. Ultimately, Millie’s new job once again turns into a dangerous situation, where secrets lurk behind the family’s outward prosperity. The story of *The Handmaid* is built on unexpected twists and secrets, which is why the creators aren’t rushing to reveal details about the new characters just yet.

When Will the Sequel Be Released?

Filming for *The Handmaid’s Secret* is set to begin as early as 2026. The film’s premiere is scheduled for December 17, 2027.

Lionsgate has also hinted that the film adaptation of Frida McFadden’s novels may not be limited to just two movies. If the sequel is a success, “The Handmaid” could become a full-fledged film franchise. So it seems that Millie Calloway’s story won’t end with just one movie. This was reported by The Hollywood Reporter.

As a reminder, British actor Tom Holland, star of “Spider-Man: Far From Home,” spoke for the first time about his struggle with alcohol addiction.

British actor Tom Hollander mistakenly received Tom Holland’s seven-figure bonus payment for the movie *Avengers*.
