First tour dates announced for Freida McFadden’s ‘The Housemaid’ stage play

The highly anticipated production is set to open at London’s Richmond Theatre on Sept. 14, 2027. The physiological thriller is set to tour throughout the United Kingdom and end its run on April 29, 2028. There’s no word yet on whether it will hop across the pond to the U.S.

The announcement comes a year after the book’s movie adaptation starring Amanda Seyfried and Sydney Sweeney hit theaters in December 2025. Shortly after the film’s release, Lionsgate confirmed that the box office hit would be getting a sequel based on McFadden’s book The Housemaid’s Secret, set to premiere in theaters on Dec. 17, 2027.

“With the stage play debuting next year and our sequel film in production, the momentum behind The Housemaid franchise continues to grow,” Jenefer Brown, Lionsgate’s president of Global Products & Experiences, said in a press release.

The Housemaid follows Millie, a convicted felon, who begins working as a maid for the wealthy Nina Winchester. Nina quickly outs herself as a demanding, irrational boss, and Millie starts to fall in love with Nina’s husband, Andrew. The story takes a sharp turn when Millie discovers both Nina and Andrew are not who they claim to be, leading to chaos, violence and ultimately, murder.
