Sydney Sweeney’s The Housemaid: Streaming Release Dates Revealed

Sydney Sweeney takes the lead in the much-talked-about thriller The Housemaid, which hit cinemas worldwide on 19 December. For now, the film is only showing on the big screen, drawing plenty of attention and strong reviews from critics. With Lionsgate backing the project, there’s already plenty of chatter about when locals will be able to stream it from the comfort of home.

Cast, Crew, and Early Reception

Directed by Paul Feig, The Housemaid features a cast including Sweeney, Amanda Seyfried, and Brandon Sklenar. The film’s debut has been met with positive feedback, with an 81% score on Rotten Tomatoes and a 5.9/10 on IMDb. Produced by Hidden Pictures, it’s shaping up to be a standout in Sweeney’s career, possibly turning around her recent box office run.

Audiences have been quick to praise the film’s suspense and performances, and it’s already being tipped as a must-see for fans of the genre. The buzz has only grown since its release, with many keen to know when it’ll be available to stream.

When to Expect The Housemaid Online

At the moment, The Housemaid isn’t available on any streaming platforms, with Lionsgate opting for an exclusive cinema run. However, looking at the studio’s usual approach, there’s a fair idea of what to expect. The film is tipped to land on Premium Video-on-Demand (PVOD) in late January or early February 2026, letting punters rent or buy it digitally through services like Amazon and Apple TV.

Lionsgate’s films often make their way to Starz about four months after their cinema debut. That means The Housemaid is likely to pop up on Starz around April 2026. After that, it’s common for their titles to show up on The Roku Channel or Peacock, so Aussies can probably expect to see it there towards the end of 2026.

Will It Stream on Netflix or Prime Video?

For those hoping to catch The Housemaid on Netflix, it’s not looking likely any time soon. But there’s a bit more hope for Prime Video. Lionsgate and Prime Video have struck a deal giving Prime the ‘Pay 2’ window, which means after the film’s run on Starz, it could end up streaming on Prime Video as well.

There’s no official word yet on whether The Housemaid will be exclusive to Prime Video, but it’s definitely a possibility. For now, though, the only way to see it is at the cinema.

Where to Watch and What’s Next

Here’s a quick rundown of the expected release windows:

Premium Video on Demand (PVOD): Late January/Early February 2026
Starz: April 2026 (likely)
The Roku Channel/Peacock: Late 2026
