- "Freakier Friday," the sequel to the hit 2003 film "Freaky Friday," is coming to theaters in August.
- Jamie Lee Curtis, Lindsay Lohan, Chad Michael Murray, and Mark Harmon are all reprising their roles.
- The sequel also includes new characters played by Manny Jacinto, Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, and more.
Disney's much-anticipated "Freaky Friday" sequel is finally coming to theaters this year — more than two decades after the first movie became a box-office smash, grossing $160 million against a $20 million budget.
The trailer for "Freakier Friday," directed by Nisha Ganatra, was unveiled on — what else? — Friday.
It shows Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan reprising their roles as Tess and Anna Coleman, a mother-daughter duo who frequently butt heads. In 2003's "Freaky Friday" (a remake of the 1976 classic), they learn to communicate when a magical body swap forces them to literally walk in each other's shoes.
Twenty-two years later, Anna has a daughter of her own, as well as a fiancé and soon-to-be stepdaughter. According to the film's synopsis, the two heroines are learning to "navigate the myriad challenges that come when two families merge."
Naturally, this means another out-of-body experience — but this time, the supernatural switch also affects Anna's children.
Here's everything we know about "Freakier Friday," so far.
The 'Freakier Friday' cast includes many familiar faces
The "Freakier Friday" trailer teases Chad Michael Murray's return as Jake, Anna's teenage love interest who's now a motorcycle-riding heartthrob.
Disney has also confirmed Mark Harmon will reprise his role as Ryan, Tess' husband and Anna's stepfather.
Curtis joked about her onscreen marriage to the "Sexiest Man Alive" back in 2022, when she was still openly campaigning for Disney to greenlight a "Freaky Friday" sequel.
"Let me be the old grandma who switches places," Curtis said on "The View." "So then Lindsay gets to be the sexy grandma who is still happy with Mark Harmon in all the ways you would be happy with Mark Harmon."
Pink Slip fans will be thrilled to know that Christina Vidal Mitchell and Haley Hudson, who played Anna's hard-rocking bandmates Maddie and Peg, will also be back for the sequel. Lohan even confirmed their fictional band will be performing new music.
Lucille Soong, Rosalind Chao, and Stephen Tobolowsky — who played Pei-Pei, Pei-Pei's mysterious mother, and Mr. Bates, respectively — are also listed among the returning cast members.
The sequel's plot includes a two-decade-time jump and plenty of new characters
Anna's daughter will be played by Julia Butters, while Sophia Hammons has been cast as Anna's future stepdaughter.
In an interview with Girls' Life, Hammons said it was surreal to work with Curtis and Lohan, but said they've "become like family, and they feel like home now."
When asked about her character in the movie, Hammons replied, "Without giving away too much, I would say that I am much more easygoing than she is!"
The sequel will feature Anna switching bodies with her daughter while Tess finds herself in the body of her future stepgranddaughter (and vice versa). "My face looks like a Birkin bag that's been left out in the sun to rot!" Curtis, post-body-swap, shrieks in the trailer.
The two young actors will also be joined by newcomers Manny Jacinto ("The Good Place," "The Acolyte") and Maitreyi Ramakrishnan ("Never Have I Ever").
"Freakier Friday" will premiere on August 8. It's one of 12 movies on Disney's 2025 release schedule.
