«The Housemaid» is getting a sequel. The second installment, titled «The Housemaid’s Secret», is scheduled to premiere on December 17, 2027, Deadline reports.

The film will continue the story of Millie Calloway and, like the first installment, will be based on a novel by American author Freida McFadden.

Sydney Sweeney will return in the lead role for the sequel. She will once again play Millie — a young woman who, after the events of the first film, decides to start a new life and takes a job as a housemaid in another home. However, what initially appears to be a quiet job soon turns into another dangerous ordeal.

In the sequel, Millie barely ever sees the woman who owns the house, while something unsettling is happening behind one of the locked doors. As events unfold, she begins to question everyone around her. According to media reports, the mystery Millie uncovers this time promises to be even darker than the events of the first film. Sweeney will also serve as one of the executive producers.

Hollywood star Kirsten Dunst is joining the cast. She will play Wendy Garrick, the owner of the house. Her husband, billionaire Douglas Garrick, will be played by Paul Anthony Kelly, known for «American Love Story». Brittany Snow will also appear in the film.

Rumors about a romance between actress Sydney Sweeney and millionaire music executive Scooter Braun had been circulating for quite some time. Now, Braun—whose fortune is estimated at anywhere from $500 million to over $1 billion—has spoken publicly about his relationship with the star for the first time.

During an appearance on journalist Suzy Weiss’s podcast, the 44-year-old music mogul not only put speculation to rest but also spoke warmly about the actress best known for her role in the TV series Euphoria.

According to Braun, meeting Sydney has been one of the most pleasant surprises of his life.

“I met an incredible woman—kind, generous, intelligent, genuine, and very down-to-earth. It has been one of the biggest surprises of my life,” Braun shared.

News of the couple’s relationship first emerged last autumn. Since then, they have been spotted together on multiple occasions, including at the high-profile wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez.

Before her relationship with Braun, the 28-year-old Sweeney was in a relationship with businessman Jonathan Davino for nearly eight years. The couple had even become engaged and were reportedly planning a wedding for May 2025, but the marriage never took place.

Braun himself was married for eight years to activist Yael Cohen. Together, they share three sons: Jagger Braun, Levi Braun, and Hart Braun.

Sydney Sweeney has once again captured the spotlight with a daring new advertising campaign for her brand, SYRN. The actress continues to serve as the face of the label she founded in late January, taking an active role in the evolution of her burgeoning business empire.

The 28-year-old Euphoria star is currently preparing for the release of her latest lingerie line. Ahead of the official launch, she shared a series of evocative photographs captured specifically for the promotional campaign. In the new visuals, Sweeney poses topless, wearing sheer black tights and thongs. One particularly striking shot features the actress with her back to the camera, her hair flowing freely, as she holds several tops from the upcoming collection.

She also showcased a variety of new lingerie sets.

In a previous interview with Elle magazine, the actress revealed her ambition to build a brand that truly understands women. According to Sweeney, SYRN is centered on confidence without pressure—a celebration of strength, tenderness, and playfulness, rooted in the freedom to be oneself without limitation.

At the 41st Santa Barbara International Film Festival, Sweeney received the Virtuosos Award for her role in the film «Christy». For the celebratory evening, her stylist Molly Dickson selected a gown with history: a vintage Ceil Chapman design from the 1950s.

It was in this very dress that Hollywood’s ultimate blonde posed for the cover of Life magazine in 1952.

Featuring an off-the-shoulder neckline and sculptural draping that accentuated the figure, the gown perfectly highlighted the actress’s silhouette while preserving the aesthetic of Hollywood’s golden age.

The look was completed with beige patent leather Ferragamo slingbacks adorned with the brand’s signature bow and gold-toned hardware – an elegant finishing touch that seamlessly reinforced the retro mood of the appearance.

Ceil Chapman was the label of the New York–based designer who created cocktail and evening dresses throughout the 1940s to 1960s. Her distinguished clientele included Grace Kelly, Elizabeth Taylor, Aretha Franklin, and Marilyn Monroe.

The Handmaid’s Tale star Sydney Sweeney has joined the ranks of celebrities making their first foray into the fashion industry by unveiling her own lingerie brand, SYRN.

The actress announced the launch on her Instagram page, sharing a promotional video. In the clip, Sweeney and her team climb up to the iconic Hollywood sign in Los Angeles and hang bras on the landmark.

Despite the playful tone of the video, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce – which holds the rights to the famous sign – expressed serious dissatisfaction with the marketing stunt. According to the Los Angeles Times, Sweeney had obtained permission from the local organization FilmLA to film near the landmark; however, the permit did not cover any «physical contact» with the structure or the commercial use of its image.

The promotion sparked widespread debate on social media: some users criticized the actress for violating the rules governing the use of the Hollywood sign, while others focused on the effectiveness of unconventional marketing strategies in promoting a new brand.

In theory, Sweeney could face allegations of trespassing or vandalism. However, the Los Angeles Police Department stated that no investigation is currently underway and that no official violation has been recorded.

«This action was not coordinated with the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, and we were not informed about it in advance», said the organization’s CEO, Steve Nissen.

He emphasized that the Chamber owns the intellectual property rights to the image of the sign, and any commercial use requires a license – one that Sweeney did not obtain.

Representatives for the actress have so far declined to comment on any potential legal consequences related to licensing violations.

This is not the first time a campaign featuring Sweeney has sparked public controversy. Last year, her collaboration with American Eagle, despite being the most expensive campaign in the brand’s history, drew criticism over the actress’s sexualized image and the contentious slogan «Great Genes / Great Jeans».

The official presentation of the actress’s new brand is scheduled for today. The project has received backing from billionaire Amazon founder Jeff Bezos.

It seems Hollywood beauty Sydney Sweeney is no longer single. The 28-year-old actress has once again been spotted with music producer Scooter Braun. Paparazzi captured the pair on a date in Los Angeles.

The couple was photographed on their way to a restaurant after visiting the David Kordansky Gallery. Sydney opted for mini shorts, a leather jacket, and knee-high boots, and by holding Braun’s hand she all but officially confirmed their relationship. The two had previously been seen together, most notably at the wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez, though at the time they refrained from showing affection.

According to foreign tabloids, Sydney and Scooter have been dating for about a month. Just last week, they appeared together at a Halloween party, and shortly afterward Braun was among the guests at the actress’s birthday celebration.

American actress Sydney Sweeney recently turned 28, and to mark the milestone, she threw a dazzling party with a star-studded guest list.

Among those spotted at the celebration were Lauren Sánchez — the wife of Amazon founder and one of the world’s richest men, Jeff Bezos (Sweeney attended their so-called «wedding of the century» last summer) — as well as Ashton Kutcher, who has been making fewer public appearances recently amid the controversy surrounding his involvement in rapper P. Diddy’s «white parties.»

The soirée embraced a «cosmic» theme: guests arrived dressed as characters from iconic space-themed films, while the birthday star herself perfectly channeled Britney Spears, recreating the pop icon’s look from the 2008 promotional campaign for her album Circus.

Sydney Sweeney first rose to fame through her breakout role as Cassie Howard in the series Euphoria. She is now frequently mentioned as a leading contender to become the next Bond girl. Recently, she starred in a biographical drama about female boxer Christy Martin, for which she underwent a physical transformation and gained weight.

Sweeney has also faced controversies in the past — from backlash over an advertisement accused of containing Nazi imagery (though she received unexpected praise from then-U.S. President Donald Trump), to criticism for launching a line of soap made with bathwater she had personally bathed in.

Sydney Sweeney, once known for her natural blonde locks, has undergone a striking transformation into a sultry brunette for the new trailer of the biographical film Christy. According to industry experts, the biopic is expected to earn the 27-year-old actress an Academy Award nomination.

In the film, Sweeney portrays Christy Martin — the legendary boxer who claimed 49 victories throughout her brilliant career, 31 of them by knockout. Martin also became the first female boxer to be inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2020. The movie chronicles her journey from a small-town athlete to a professional who forever changed the world of boxing.

Sweeney shared the trailer on her blog, revealing her transformation. To embody Christy, she gained 15 kilograms, a process that required months of rigorous training and a high-protein diet, as she revealed in an interview with Deadline.

«I loved it. I truly felt Christy’s strength as I transformed,» she shared. «I really enjoyed the training and working with incredible boxing coaches and nutritionists who helped me reach the level needed to play Christy. It’s amazing to fully step into the role of such a powerful woman. I felt even stronger myself. It was truly inspiring,» Sweeney said.

Following the controversy surrounding the American Eagle jeans campaign featuring actress Sydney Sweeney, U.S. President Donald Trump expressed his support for her, according to the Daily Mail.

During a press meeting in Pennsylvania, Trump was informed about the actress’s political affiliation. He learned that the «Euphoria» star had registered as a member of the Republican Party in Monroe County, Florida, back in June last year.

«Oh, now I like her ad. You’d be surprised how many Republicans are out there. I didn’t know that, of course, but I’m glad you told me. If Sydney Sweeney is a registered Republican, I think her ad is just fantastic,» Trump remarked.

Sweeney had recently come under fire for alleged Nazi propaganda due to her appearance in the American Eagle campaign. The controversy stemmed from the slogan of the collection, «Sydney Sweeney’s got great jeans,» which in English is a play on words: great jeans/great genes. Online users claim the ad alludes to eugenics, Nazism, and white supremacy.

A new advertising campaign by American Eagle, featuring «Euphoria» star Sydney Sweeney, has landed in hot water. The controversy stems from an ill-conceived pun based on the similarity between the English words «jeans» and «genes».

In one of the videos, Sweeney says: «Genes are passed down from parents to children, often determining traits like hair color, personality, and even eye color. My jeans are blue».

In another clip, the text on screen reads «Sydney Sweeney has great genes», which then shifts to the word «jeans».

Social media users criticized the wordplay, seeing it as a reference to eugenics – the pseudoscientific belief in «improving» the human race, which was especially popular in Nazi Germany.

Further outrage was sparked by the choice of actress: some commenters felt that the campaign focuses on a stereotypically attractive look – a blonde woman with blue eyes – evoking associations with historical ideals of «proper» appearance that were used for ideological purposes in the past.

Opinions, however, were divided. Some users pointed out that a similar approach was used in the well-known Calvin Klein ad with Brooke Shields in the 1980s and had no negative connotation. But critics argue that in today’s political and social climate – amid rising right-wing sentiment and Donald Trump’s election campaign – such imagery and messaging are, at the very least, controversial.
