Gogglebox just spoiled one of 2025’s most shocking thrillers and fans aren’t hap
Spoilers are becoming a bigger and bigger problem these days.
People just don’t seem to care about ruining films and TV shows like they used to.
As a result, most people avoid social media like the plague when there’s a new series or movie out so that they can enjoy the work the way the creator intended.
Still, while everyone and their mum expect social media to spoil the fun, they have higher expectations of TV series.
Because surely no show would knowingly spoil something… would they?
Enter Gogglebox.
Yes, last night the oddly addictive show where we watch people on TV watch TV (it’s better than it sounds) spoiled one of the biggest thrillers of 2025.
Specifically, they spoiled the Sydney Sweeney drama The Housemaid by revealing … basically everything that happens in the film.
Not to follow in GoggleBox’s footsteps, but when we watched the clip, they spoiled every big twist in the film, including the ending.
Needless to say, viewers weren’t happy, and they vented their fury on social media.

‘Well, I won’t need to watch the Housemaid now,’ added @sundaygirl851.
Meanwhile, @Katie_Lewis said: ‘Gogglebox spoiling the Housemaid film for everyone who hadn’t seen it.’
The Housemaid, which is based on the book of the same name by Freida McFadden, was one of 2025’s most shocking thrillers.
Starring Sydney Sweeney, Amanda Seyfried, and Brandon Sklenar and follows Millie Calloway, who becomes the live-in maid for a wealthy family, but quickly realises all is not well beneath the family’s suburban sheen.
How annoying do you find spoilers?

I’m not bothered either way
Grossing $401.7million against a reported $35million budget, the film was a slow-burning hit at the box office and earned respectable reviews from critics.
Boasting an impressive 73% on Rotten Tomatoes, the film has been described as a fun throwback to the steamy thrillers of yesteryear, with particular praise offered to Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried.
Metro’s own Tori Brazer wrote in her 3-star review that the film was ‘a pulpy tongue-in-cheek adaptation of a breezy thriller that will slip down smoothly’.
Although she admitted that ‘putting it up on the big screen does emphasise the more fanciful elements and plot holes.’
Variety’s Owen Gleiberman said it’s ‘a movie of diabolical developments, and that’s what’s captivating about it. That, and Elizabeth Perkins’ droll performance as a mother-in-law from WASP hell.’
