Sydney Sweeney’s schedule is filling up, with projects like The Housemaid’s Secret and an adaptation of The Custom of the Country in the works. With several high-profile collaborations and literary adaptations on the horizon, Sweeney is one of Hollywood’s most in-demand and busiest young stars. And the Emmy-nominated actress is continuing to flex her acting skills across genres, fresh off the success of films like Anyone But You and Immaculate. 

Among the many projects on her packed slate, The Housemaid's Secret stands out as one of Sweeney's most anticipated upcoming films. 

The Housemaid's Secret is scheduled for release on December 17, 2027. Kirsten Dunst is on board with returning stars Sydney Sweeney and Michele Morrone.

Sydney Sweeney returns as Millie Calloway in The Housemaid's Secret, the follow-up to the smash hit psychological thriller The Housemaid. Millie, a woman with a troubled past and a history of working as a live-in maid, is drawn into another web of secrets when she takes a job with a new, rich family. The sequel, based on the book by Freida McFadden, will also see Morrone reprise his role as Enzo, while Dunst will star as the mysterious Wendy Garrick.

Meanwhile, from futuristic mech battles, Sweeney will shift gears once again with a literary adaptation rooted in high society and ambition.

From literary ambition, Sweeney will next step into the shoes of a Hollywood icon in a story based on real-life romance and controversy. 

Sydney Sweeney will star in Scandalous! as Kim Novak. It is Miramax’s directorial debut for her Euphoria co-star Colman Domingo. David Jonsson will play Sammy Davis Jr. in the retelling of the true story of Davis Jr.'s forbidden romance with Novak.

The film will also follow Novak’s controversial romance with entertainer Sammy Davis Jr. in the 1950s. Davis Jr. will be played by David Jonsson. Sweeney’s role centers on Novak’s struggles with fame, media attention, and a relationship that pushed the racial and social boundaries of the time.

After portraying a screen legend, the actress is set to trade romance and controversy for action and adventure in That Man From Rio. 

Sydney Sweeney and director Justin Lin have just teamed up on the Apple Original Film That Man From Rio, which will be based on the 1964 French film of the same name. Lin will produce through his Perfect Storm Entertainment. Additionally, Oscar nominee Kevin Walsh will produce through his The Walsh Company under his first-look deal with Apple TV+. Sweeney will star and also serve as an executive producer.

However, Sweeney's role in That Man From Rio has not yet been announced. The Euphoria star is set to star in and executive-produce the Apple Original Films remake. The film is an adventure comedy film and puts a new spin on the adventure classic that spawned the Indiana Jones franchise. Nevertheless, it is not clear if Sweeney will play a mirror of the original’s Agnès Villermosa or a completely new character. 

Meanwhile, from globe-trotting adventures, Sweeney is set to blast off into space with a remake of a cult sci-fi classic. 

Sydney Sweeney initially signed the Barbarella film for Sony in 2022, with writers Jane Goldman and Honey Ross eyed to co-write in May 2024. Sweeney will star as Barbarella, the title character in Sony’s remake of the 1968 cult sci-fi classic, originally played by Jane Fonda. Acclaimed filmmaker Edgar Wright, who has The Running Man arriving in theaters in November, is reportedly attached to direct the project. Sweeney has some other projects in the works as well. 

In the original story, Barbarella is a glamorous, fearless agent sent to stop the evil scientist Durand Durand. In the process, it embarks on a series of intergalactic adventures. Sweeney is also serving as executive producer on the project.  

Sydney Sweeney is showing no signs of slowing down, with psychological thrillers, literary adaptations, sci-fi blockbusters, and biographical dramas on her slate. From reprising Millie Calloway in The Housemaid’s Secret to fronting Netflix’s live-action Gundam, playing Kim Novak in Scandalous!, and headlining ambitious projects like The Custom of the Country and Barbarella, Sweeney continues to expand her range and cement her status as one of Hollywood’s most in-demand stars with a bunch of movies coming up soon. With a string of high-profile collaborations and varied roles ahead, the next few years are to be some of the busiest and possibly most defining of her career.
