The Cleaning Woman, the psychological thriller from Paul Feig led by Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried, is airing on Canal+ on Friday, September 4, 2026 at 9:07 p.m. After its cinema release on December 24, 2025, the film will also be available on demand on the platform starting September 4.
Millie Calloway is trying to start over after a stint in prison and a stretch of crushing hardship. When she lands a live-in housekeeper job with Nina and Andrew Winchester, a wealthy couple, the position offers both a paycheck and a home. Yet the flawless facade of the house quickly gives way to something far more unsettling.
Nina proves unpredictable with her new assistant, while Andrew initially comes across as a pillar of support. Isolated in a room on the top floor of the house, Millie gradually uncovers the tensions, secrets, and power dynamics that drive the Winchester family. What was meant to be a second chance mutates into a game of manipulation, where the players’ roles are hard to pin down.
The film adapts the first volume of Freida McFadden’s literary saga, published in 2022 and turned into an international hit, thanks in part to BookTok. Screenwriter Rebecca Sonnenshine brings her story to the big screen while preserving the claustrophobic atmosphere, the class differences, and the ambiguous dynamic between Millie and her employers.
Known for Bridesmaids and The Shadow of Emily, Paul Feig builds suspense around a deliberately deceptive setting. The bright, meticulously kept house contrasts with Millie’s cramped bedroom and the tensions that run through the home. The layout of the space so embodies the rift between the owners and their housekeeper.
Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried also serve as executive producers of the film. Brandon Sklenar plays Andrew Winchester, while Michele Morrone portrays Enzo, the man in charge of maintaining the property. Elizabeth Perkins, Indiana Elle, Megan Ferguson, and Ellen Tamaki round out the cast.
