Move over, Freaky Friday—it’s time for Freakier Friday. Disney has just dropped the teaser trailer and poster for the long-awaited sequel to the 2003 classic, starring none other than Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan. Yes, you read that right—Freakier Friday is back, and this time it’s got a multigenerational twist. Buckle up for a wild ride when the film hits theaters on August 8, 2025.
For those of you who haven’t been living under a rock for the past couple of decades, Freaky Friday was the 2003 hit that saw Curtis and Lohan swap roles as mother and daughter, Tess and Anna Coleman. Through a mysterious (and totally science-defying) series of events, Tess and Anna spent a day in each other’s shoes, leading to some very comical and heartwarming moments. Flash forward to the future, and Freakier Friday picks up right where we left off—except now, Anna’s all grown up, and, well, the family dynamics have… evolved.
In this sequel, Tess and Anna are facing a brand-new challenge: blending families. Anna, now a mom with a daughter of her own (and a soon-to-be stepdaughter), finds herself in a new kind of crisis. A life swap is no longer the answer. This time, the stakes are even higher as Tess and Anna try to navigate the complicated waters of stepparenthood, sibling rivalries, and trying to make sure everyone is on the same page. Will their family history of identity swaps help them navigate the intricacies of merging two households? Will Tess once again find herself trying to figure out how to work a teenager’s social media accounts? (We hope so.)
But the plot isn’t just about family drama—Freakier Friday is diving into what it means to be a modern parent, balancing expectations, and finding common ground when it feels like everything is pulling you in different directions. It’s a universal story, made even more poignant by the comedic hijinks that Curtis and Lohan are bound to bring. There’s something magical about watching these two women—who’ve already survived a body swap—trying to figure out how to keep their own families intact. We can already imagine the awkward dinner conversations, hilarious misunderstandings, and those classic moments where the heart of the story emerges, proving once again that family is everything—even when it’s messy.
And what’s this? Joining the iconic duo this time around is none other than Chad Michael Murray! Murray adds another layer of charm and humor as a key player in the evolving family dynamic. His return brings an added spark of nostalgia for anyone who’s followed his career—and let’s face it, who wouldn’t want to see him navigate the chaos of a blended family?
The Freakier Friday magic continues under the direction of Nisha Ganatra, who promises a fresh spin on the beloved formula. Known for her work on Late Night and The High Note, Ganatra brings a sharp, modern sensibility to the film while still honoring what made the original Freaky Friday so special. With the film based on Mary Rodgers’ book Freaky Friday, it’s sure to be a nostalgic ride with just the right amount of heart and chaos.
But wait, there’s more! As if the Freaky Friday duo weren’t enough, the movie is produced by none other than Jamie Lee Curtis herself, along with Kristin Burr and Andrew Gunn. Lohan, of course, also serves as an executive producer, ensuring that this film has all the right ingredients to make it the nostalgic, hilarious, and utterly chaotic ride we’ve been waiting for. Curtis’s involvement as both a producer and a star means that the film will have that perfect balance of her iconic blend of humor and heartfelt emotion, making it a must-see for fans of the original and newcomers alike.
So, what’s next for Tess, Anna, and their ever-evolving family? We’ll just have to wait until August 8, 2025, to find out. But based on the teaser, one thing is clear—lightning will strike twice, and it’s going to be freakier than ever. Grab your popcorn and prepare for the family swap of the century.
After all, who doesn’t want to see Curtis and Lohan take on even more teenage drama, family feuds, and maybe—just maybe—another identity crisis or two? We’ve all been there, right? You’ll find yourself rooting for Tess and Anna as they navigate everything from ex-husbands to teenagers who think they know everything (spoiler: they don’t).
