The casting of The Maid 2 continues to make people dream. Sydney Sweeney is obviously back in the skin of Millie Calloway, as is Michele Morrone who takes up the role of the mysterious and charming gardener Enzo. And to play the new character of Wendy Garrick, already known to readers, a real star was chosen: Kirsten Dunst joins the adventure, adding to this second part an additional aura and a poster which already makes you want to.

A video where he emerges from behind volume 2 of the saga, with the caption: “Welcome home, Douglas.”
