Sydney Sweeney has reportedly locked in a $7.5 million salary to lead Lionsgate’s upcoming book-to-screen adaptation The Housemaid. TMZ first broke the story, calling it her biggest deal to date. The pay puts the Euphoria talent right up among the higher earners of her generation, a clear reflection of Tinseltown’s confidence in her leading the most ambitious projects of the current time.

The Housemaid, which debuted its trailer recently with Sydney Sweeney leading the charge, is directed by Paul Feig. The Freida McFadden thriller also stars Amanda Seyfried, whose salary TMZ did not disclose in the report discussing Sweeney’s payday. Meanwhile, The Housemaid is not the only project Sweeney has to look forward to at the moment, as her top priority right now appears to be Christy, a biopic drama once again starring her in the lead role.
