Stephen Kalyn Cast in 'The Housemaid's Secret' Sequel
Stephen Kalyn, known for the Prime Video series 'Off Campus', has joined the cast of 'The Housemaid's Secret' in the role of Brock. The Paul Feig-directed film stars Sydney Sweeney, Kirsten Dunst, and Paul Anthony Kelly, with Brittany Snow also aboard. The sequel follows Millie as she uncovers dark secrets while working for a mysterious woman.
Kalyn’s casting continues a rapid rise after his breakout turn as Dean Di Laurentis in Prime Video’s *Off Campus*, which drew 36 million viewers in its first 12 days. The sequel reunites key creative figures, including writer Rebecca Sonnenshine and producers Todd Lieberman, Laura Fischer, and Sydney Sweeney, with Brittany Snow and Michele Morrone returning from the first film. The project adapts Freida McFadden’s bestseller, following Millie’s new job for a hidden employer.
The production also marks a busy period for Kalyn, who is set to reprise his *Off Campus* role in an adaptation of *The Score*, the third book in Elle Kennedy’s series. That installment pairs his character with Mika Abdalla’s Allie Hayes, continuing the fan-favorite dynamic from season one. His dual commitments highlight growing demand for young stars across streaming and theatrical features.
This casting may signal how streaming success now directly feeds theatrical franchise casting, as Kalyn’s *Off Campus* popularity could draw younger viewers to the thriller sequel. The film’s mix of established stars (Dunst, Sweeney) and rising talent may broaden its appeal across demographics, potentially boosting box office for a genre that often relies on built-in fan bases. However, its impact depends on execution and timing, as audience habits shift toward on-demand viewing.
