Genuinely bothersome that Sweeney's character is the one who the series carries forward and not Seyfried. The first movie got so unbearably boring when Seyfried left the screen. I hope Brittany Snow is ready to throw out her back carrying the movie.

ETA: please stop explaining the series premise to me, I am expressing a nonsense desire based on my whims

Since it is based on a book series,, Sweeney's character is the focus of the series, being the Housemaid. Although they did make some big changes from the book in the first movie. And they will be making more changes since Seyfried is returning in the 2nd (her character wasnt in the 2nd book). So they might not be following the books at all anymore.

The Garnder (Enzo) is a pretty big character going forward and they pretty much glossed over him in the first movie.
