The dynamic duo of Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan is set to return in the much-anticipated sequel to their 2003 hit Freaky Friday, this time with an even more enchanting twist. Revealed at Disney’s D23 fan event in Anaheim, California, the new film is aptly titled Freakier Friday, promising to amp up the fun and the emotions.
During an exhilarating presentation, Curtis and Lohan shared the first look at their characters, Tess and Anna, back in action and clearly in the middle of new body-swap shenanigans. The sequel, set for a 2025 release, aims to deepen the mother-daughter narrative while introducing new comedic and heartfelt elements.
Curtis expressed her timeless connection to the project, stating, “For me it feels like no time has passed. We both get to play moms,” which resonated with Lohan’s remark on the sheer joy of working together again: “It doesn’t even feel like work.”
This announcement marks a culmination of years of speculation and desire among fans and the stars themselves for a sequel. Both Curtis and Lohan have been vocal supporters of revisiting the beloved story, with Curtis previously teasing the possibility and advocating for it amid Hollywood’s writing strikes.
With direction from Nisha Ganatra, known for her work on Late Night and The High Note, and a blend of returning cast members alongside fresh faces like Manny Jacinto and Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, Freakier Friday is poised to be a vibrant addition to Disney’s cinematic legacy. As the excitement builds, fans eagerly await the return of Tess and Anna’s enchanting chaos on the big screen.
