For years, fans had long hoped that Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis would reunite for a Freaky Friday 2, which would serve as a follow-up to their beloved 2003 body-swap comedy. Said production had seen its fair share of starts and stops over the years and, for a while, it seemed like it might never get off the ground. However, Lohan finally confirmed the sequel back in March, and the announcement generated a considerable amount of excitement amongst fans. Now, it would seem that cameras are starting to roll on the film, and it’s also been revealed that the two lead actresses will be joined by Chad Michael Murray and other returning franchise OGs.
Walt Disney Studios formally confirmed the state of production on the movie, which is currently filming in Los Angeles. So, as you’d imagine, Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan are on the set and seem ready for their close-ups. The two not only appeared in a photo that was shared on X by the House of Mouse, but the company also dropped a sweet video of them, which was shared to TikTok. You can check it out for yourself:
@disneystudios The band’s back together and coming to theaters in 2025 🤘. The sequel to Freaky Friday is now in production!
The prospect of the two actresses reprising their roles as mother-daughter duo Tess and Anna Coleman is exciting enough. However, what really has me jazzed about the upcoming Disney movie is the sheer number of actors who will be reteaming with them for the film. Chad Michael Murray is on tap to reprise his role as Jake – Anna’s love interest, while Mark Harmon is set to return as Tess’ boyfriend-turned-husband, Ryan. Also back in the fray are Stephen Tobolowsky (Mr. Bates), Christina Vidal (Maddie), Haley Hudson (Peg), Rosalind Chao (Pei-Pei) and Lucille Soong (Pei-Pei’s mother). Some series newcomers have also been tapped in Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, Manny Jacinto, Julia Butters and Sophia Hammons.
In addition to these cast additions, a brief synopsis was provided. Set years after the first movie, the sequel revists Anna, who now has a daughter and is also going to be a step-mother. There aren’t any specifics on who might be following in Anna and Tess’ footsteps and swapping bodies, but it’s teased that they two are going to realize that lightning can strike twice.
The Freaky Friday sequel is set to open in theaters as part of the 2025 movie schedule. Those who’d like to revisit its predecessor can stream it now using a Disney+ subscription.
