Sydney Sweeney’s The Housemaid: Streaming Release Dates and Platforms Revealed
Sydney Sweeney’s new thriller The Housemaid is making waves in theaters, but when will it hit streaming? Discover the expected digital release windows, which platforms to watch for, and what makes this Lionsgate-backed film a must-see.
Sydney Sweeney takes on the role of a housemaid in her latest suspense film, The Housemaid, which premiered worldwide in theaters on December 19. The movie, which also stars Amanda Seyfried and Brandon Sklenar, has quickly become a hot topic, earning high praise from critics and audiences alike. With Lionsgate behind the project, fans are eager to know when they’ll be able to catch the film from the comfort of their own homes.
Key Details and Early Reception
Directed by Paul Feig and produced by Hidden Pictures, The Housemaid has been generating buzz since its release. The film currently holds a 5.9/10 rating on IMDb and an impressive 81% on Rotten Tomatoes. Many see this as a turning point for Sweeney, potentially ending her streak of underperforming box office releases. The movie’s strong critical reception has only fueled anticipation for its digital debut.
Expected Digital and Streaming Release Timeline
At the moment, The Housemaid is only available in theaters, with no streaming options yet. However, based on Lionsgate’s typical release strategy, there’s a clear pattern for when fans can expect to see the film online. The movie is projected to arrive on Premium Video- on-Demand (PVOD) platforms like Amazon and Apple TV in late January or early February 2026, giving viewers the chance to rent or buy it digitally just weeks after its theatrical run.
Lionsgate titles usually make their way to Starz about four months after their initial release. That means The Housemaid is likely to start streaming on Starz in April 2026. After its Starz window, the film is expected to show up on The Roku Channel or Peacock, likely toward the end of 2026.
Will It Stream on Netflix or Prime Video?
While some fans may hope to see The Housemaid on Netflix, it’s unlikely to land there anytime soon. The situation with Prime Video is a bit different. Lionsgate and Prime Video recently struck a deal giving Prime Video the ‘Pay 2’ window, which means the film could become available there after its run on Starz. Although there’s no official confirmation yet, there’s a strong chance The Housemaid will eventually be available to stream on Prime Video.
For now, moviegoers can catch The Housemaid exclusively in theaters across the U.S. Whether you plan to see it on the big screen or wait for its digital release, this thriller is already shaping up to be one of the year’s most talked-about films.
