"The Housemaid," the thriller novel by author Freida McFadden, will soon hit the big screen with a star-studded cast.

The film adaptation of the book, which is directed by Paul Feig, is slated to be released in December. It stars Sydney Sweeney as Millie, an ex-convict hired by wealthy couple Nina (Amanda Seyfried) and Andrew Winchester (Brandon Sklenar) to be their live-in maid.

Fans of the 2022 novel, which gained popularity on social media and was named a New York Times bestseller, got their first look at the film with the release of its trailer on Sept. 16.

The teaser hints at things going awry in the Winchester's home after Millie's hiring, complete with a screaming Seyfried, an apparent arrest and a rendition of Sabrina Carpenter's "Please Please Please."

Here's everything we know about the film so far.

What is 'The Housemaid' about?

"The Housemaid" follows the fallout in a wealthy Long Island family after they hire a young, live-in housekeeper.

Wilhelmina "Millie" Calloway is hired by Nina Winchester to clean her and her husband Andrew Winchester's home and to help take care of their daughter, Cecelia.

Despite the Winchesters' massive home, thanks to Andrew's family's wealth, Millie is banished to live in a desolate attic bedroom.

Soon after moving in, Millie begins to realize things are amiss in the family, but she is desperate to keep the job, which proves to be a dangerous decision.
