Sydney Sweeneyhas one of the busiest schedules in 2025. She started with the filmEcho Valleyon Apple TV+. Although this received mixed reviews, it still provided the actor with increased exposure in the streaming market. Next month, Sweeney will be a part of a rare box office phenomenon, where two of her movies will be released on the same day.AmericanaandEdencome out on August 22.
The latter is aRon Howard film that first premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2024.It is a psychological thriller that focuses on a group of people traveling to the Galápagos to seek change in their lives.
In addition to Sweeney, the leading cast includes Jude Law, Ana de Armas, Felix Kammerer, and Vanessa Kirby.Edenis thefirst narrative movie from Howard in three years, adding hype surrounding the project. But despiteEden’s intrigue, Sweeney has an even more exciting feature to come.
The Housemaid Is Sydney Sweeney’s Most Exciting Thriller Of 2025
It Is Coming Out On Christmas Day
Later this year, Sweeney will also star inThe Housemaid. This thriller stars Sweeney as a young woman who is trying to get a fresh start in life by working as a maid for a rich couple. Themovie is set for release on December 25.
Curiously,The Housemaidisdirected by Paul Feig, who usually makes comedies. This makes the film an even more intriguing thriller, as it will see a director work with source material (i.e. the novel by Freida McFadden) that is outside his usual comfort zone.
Eden’s traileris decent, and it looks like a fun summer film, but it is not nearly as unique and intriguing asThe Housemaid.Eden’s early reviews are also a bit rocky,with the film getting a 57% Tomatometer from criticsthus far. This makesThe Housemaidthe most exciting Sweeney thriller to come.
The Housemaid Could Give Sydney Sweeney A Thriller Series
There Are Multiple Books In The Series
The Housemaidis also good news for Sweeney’s future career.There are three books in McFadden’s original book series, so if the movie is successful, it could easily get sequels.
Eden(andAmericanafor that matter) are much more likely to be one-off productions. As such,The Housemaidpresents an exciting opportunity for Sweeney since it gives her a chance to be in a thriller series. She has never led a major film series before, but the actor is increasingly popular, so this could be her time to do so.
