It’s been over two decades, but Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis are back for more body swapping hilarity in Freakier Friday. Name a more nostalgic, dynamic duo – we’ll wait.
Landing at Cineworld on August 8, here’s everything you need to know about the sequel to Freaky Friday, including who will be reprising their role, new cast, and how the heck this all managed to happen again.
The road to Freakier Friday
It’s been a while since the first film came out, and it’s fair to say a lot has happened in the careers of our leading women. Jamie Lee Curtis is now an incredibly decorated woman, with nominations and wins for her role in Everything Everywhere All at Once as well as on Disney+’s The Bear, with nominees for Scream Queens, The Last Showgirl, and Knives Out, too.
We’ve also witnessed the renaissance of Lindsay Lohan, largely returning to TV and streaming gigs, with the announcement of the upcoming Freaky Friday sequel proving she is truly so back. Regardless of their journeys to this moment, we love how much both women have been rooting for the return to these characters.
Way back in 2022 at the Knives Out premiere, Curtis told People, “There would be nothing I would love more, honestly, than to be able to work with her again, share our time again, and now be able to share it at this age with both of us 20 years older, or whatever we are.” Flash forward to May 2023, and Disney announced the sequel.
What is the plot for Freaky Friday 2?
Surely no one is unlucky enough to body swap with their mum not once, but twice? Well… You might wanna look away if that is not your bag, because that’s exactly what’s going down in the Freaky Friday sequel. But better, obviously.
Tess (Curtis) attempts to support her daughter Anna (Lohan) as she merges two families together (not literally!). About to marry Eric (Manny Jacinto), she battles with encouraging her daughter Harper (Julia Butters) to get along with her soon-to-be step-daughter Lily (Sophia Hammons). Turns out lightning indeed does strike twice, and with all four women under one roof, we’ve got double the body swaps, people!
