Forget Netflix and chill, it's Pop-Tarts in bed time.
At least it is for Millie (Sydney Sweeney) in a deleted scene from The Housemaid. In the clip, which Entertainment Weekly is debuting exclusively above, Andrew (Brandon Sklenar) greets his housemaid-turned-mistress in the morning with a tray of kid-friendly breakfast treats -- wearing nothing but his underwear.
"Morning, beautiful," he says before showing off his haul. "I know this isn't exactly a five-star breakfast, but we've got dinosaur hash browns, we've got an Eggo waffle, and this little piece of pastry heaven is a Pop-Tart; you can only get these imported."
Going in for a kiss, he adds, "We have syrup, and that is a frappuccino in a glass, so you're gonna want to drink that."
"Three stars," Millie jokes, as he goes in for more canoodling.
The clip is one of several bonus features fans can enjoy as the Paul Feig-directed thriller is now available on Premium Digital from Lionsgate.

Based on Freida McFadden's 2022 bestselling novel, The Housemaid follows Millie, a struggling young woman with a violent past, who hopes for a fresh start when she takes a job as a live-in housemaid for an affluent couple, Nina and Andrew Winchester (Amanda Seyfried and Sklenar). But all is not as it seems inside their picturesque suburban estate, and what seems like a dream job quickly devolves into a nightmare.
In addition to the at-home release of the film, fans won't have to wait too long for more twisty adventures with Millie. In January, just two and a half weeks after the movie's theatrical release, Lionsgate announced plans to start production on the next film in the franchise, The Housemaid's Secret, based on the second novel in McFadden's trilogy, in 2026.
Screenwriter Rebecca Sonnenshine, who adapted The Housemaid, will return to adapt the sequel for producers Todd Lieberman of Hidden Pictures, alongside Feig and Laura Fischer of Feig's Pretty Dangerous Pictures, who are also returning as producers. Hidden Pictures' Carly Elter and Alex Young, Sweeney, and McFadden will serve as executive producers. The project is being developed with an eye toward Feig returning as director, along with stars Sweeney and Michele Morrone (who played the fan-favorite sexy gardener Enzo).
And, though Nina's storyline is nicely wrapped up in the first movie, don't count out a return of Seyfried in some capacity. She previously told EW, "Oh yeah, absolutely [I'd do more films]. Listen, if [the first film] doesn't do well, you can call it off, but if it does, well, it's absolutely a franchise. I didn't sign on for anything but this one because my story ends, but they know that if they make another one, I'll be a part of it, because I had so much fun with Paul."
As of press time, the R-rated thriller -- which only cost $35 million to produce -- has earned $116 million domestically and $189.1 million internationally, bringing its global cume to $305 million -- the highest-grossing film of Sweeney's career to date.
