This series, which quickly became an international phenomenon, consists of the novels The Housemaid (2022), The Housemaid’s Secret (2023), The Housemaid Is Watching (2024), and an additional novella, The Housemaid’s Wedding (2024). 

Each book delves deeper into the characters’ destinies, gradually revealing a world marked by secrets, manipulation, and psychological tension.

The first volume, on which the film is based, tells the story of Millie, a young woman with a troubled past who wants to start over. She accepts a job as a housemaid for a wealthy family, and at first everything seems like the perfect opportunity: a safe place to live, a steady income, and the hope of a new beginning. 

However, as the days go by, Millie realizes that the elegance and good manners of the Winchester family hide dark truths. Strange behavior, strict rules, and unpredictable reactions turn the ideal job into a psychological nightmare.

The sequels — The Housemaid’s Secret and The Housemaid Is Watching — expand the universe created by the author and explore the consequences of Millie’s choices, introducing new characters, new conflicts, and new secrets. 

In each volume, the author maintains suspense through unexpected twists and by emphasizing the social tensions between the privileged and the vulnerable. 

The novella The Housemaid’s Wedding offers fans additional insight into the characters’ lives, rounding out the story on an emotional note.

The film adaptation promises to capture the essence of the original novel. Sydney Sweeney masterfully portrays Millie, bringing to life the character’s fragility, courage, and inner turmoil. 

The cast also includes Amanda Seyfried, Brandon Sklenar, Michele Morrone, and Elizabeth Perkins, who contribute to the intensity and complexity of the story. 

Filming, which took place in New Jersey between January and March 2025, highlights the contrast between the apparent luxury of the Winchester family and the dark reality hidden behind closed doors.

The Housemaid is shaping up to be a gripping adaptation that preserves the tense atmosphere of the novels. Themes of manipulation, deceptive appearances, and psychological fragility are present in both the books and the film, illustrating that a perfect world is not always what it seems. 

The book series complements the film, offering a broader and deeper perspective on Millie’s story, making The Housemaid a complex experience—both literary and cinematic.

The novels are available in Romania at Bookzone Publishing House.

The Housemaid will premiere in Romanian cinemas on January 2, 2026.

Prorom also will release The Housemaid in: Slovakia (on December 25, 2025), Bulgaria (on December 26, 2025), Hungary (on January 8, 2026) and Czech Republic (on January 15, 2026).

Produced by the legendary Sam Raimi, Boy Kills World was scripted by Arend Remmers and Tyler Burton Smith.

The story takes place in a bizarre, dark dystopian universe and centers on a deaf and mute character, Boy (Skarsgård), who navigates this depressing world with his otherworldly imagination. Tragedy strikes when Boy’s family is brutally murdered. When his fight or flight instincts kick in, Boy finds himself on a life-threatening trek into the darkly forested jungle.

There, he meets a shaman (Yayan Ruhian) who takes Boy under his wing and launches him into a cutthroat coming of age journey where he encourages his new pupil to leave his youth behind and pick up the baton as a highly trained assassin.

Skarsgard and Rothe are joined in the cast by Yayan Ruhian, Andrew Koji, Isaiah Mustafa, Famke Janssen, Brett Gelman, Sharlto Copley, Quinn Copeland, twin brothers Cameron and Nicholas Crovetti, and Michelle Dockery.

The hottest comic in America, Sebastian Maniscalco joins forces with legendary Italian-American and two-time Oscar® winner, Robert De Niro (Best Actor, Raging Bull, 1980), in the new comedy About My Father.

The film centers around Sebastian (Maniscalco) who is encouraged by his fiancée (Leslie Bibb) to bring his immigrant, hairdresser father, Salvo (De Niro), to a weekend get-together with her super-rich and exceedingly eccentric family (Kim Cattrall, Anders Holm, Brett Dier, David Rasche).

According to About My Father star and co-screenwriter, Sebastian Maniscalco, “the film is about two different families, from very different socioeconomic backgrounds, colliding during a holiday weekend, before they realize that those differences are what make them unique.”

Maniscalco, a celebrated stand-up comedian, adds that his onscreen persona “is trying to walk a tightrope with his father in bringing him into an environment that is unfamiliar to him.”

When asked about the script, De Niro says, “I saw that it had a personal element from Sebastian's experience, obviously. And, after getting to know Laura Terruso a little bit, I realized her background too. They [Sebastian and Laura] knew the world. They're from the world. So that was an important part of it [the story],” says De Niro.

Early on, De Niro, famed for his immersion in his roles, requested a special read-through of the script with a group of fellow actors. “So, we flew to New York, during the height of the pandemic, and did a table read with him,” Maniscalco describes. “We were all wearing masks, and it was a little weird, but we were glad to do it.”

It also seemed pre-destined for Laura Terruso to direct. The award-winning director, screenwriter and producer had completed a feature film for Netflix, Work It, when the script for About My Father came her way. Her reaction was immediate and unsubtle: “This script made me jump and say, ‘I must direct this movie’ because it felt so personal and universal.”

Terruso’s personal connection to the project comes from her background, which parallel’s Maniscalco’s in significant ways. As she explains, “Sebastian’s father emigrated from Sicily in the 1960s, as did my mother, and we’ve both found our way into comedy.”

“Sebastian wrote the movie as a love letter to his father, and for me, it was clearly a love letter to my mother. We really bonded on that level and felt like, okay, we know who and what this is about and that guided all the decision making moving forward.”

About My Father is directed by Laura Terruso and written by Austen Earl & Sebastian Maniscalco.

Prorom will release About My Father this weekend in: Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria and in June in Czech Republic and Slovakia.

The weekend develops into what can only be described as a culture clash, leaving Sebastian and Salvo to discover that the great thing about family is everything about family.

In DOG, paired against their will, former U.S. Army Ranger, Jackson Briggs (Channing Tatum), and Lulu (a Belgian Malinois Army K9), race down the Pacific Coast to make it to their best friend’s funeral on time.

“DOG is a love story between two former elite warriors. One of whom happens to have four furry legs. On the surface, it’s a road-comedy about a hard-charging former soldier and an even harder-charging Belgian Malinois who hate each other’s guts yet get stuck traversing the entire western seaboard in a mad dash to make it to their best friend’s funeral on time.

Beneath that, it’s a story about vulnerability and learning to move on after tragedy and loss. It’s a personal exploration of strength; how, when faced with great adversity, we often toughen-up when we really need to open-up.

DOG explores the theme that surrendering is the only thing harder than fighting. And the only thing worth surrendering for is love.” says the Directors Reid Carolin si Channing Tatum.

Directed by Channing Tatum and Reid Carolin, DOG stars Channing Tatum, Q'orianka Kilcher, Emmy Raver-Lampman and Kevin Nash.

Prorom will release DOG in Romania on February 18th and Hungary on February 24th.
