It’s been over 20 years since Freaky Friday came out, and Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan are finally coming back for another ride. Disney dropped the first trailer for Freakier Friday, the long-awaited sequel of the beloved 2000s body swap comedy.
Freakier Friday will put a multigenerational twist on the original 2003 film, and here’s what it has in store, according to Disney’s official logline:
“The film picks up years after Tess (Curtis) and Anna (Lohan) endured an identity crisis. Anna now has a daughter of her own and a soon-to-be stepdaughter. As they navigate the myriad challenges that come when two families merge, Tess and Anna discover that lightning might indeed strike twice.”
In addition to Curtis and Lohan, Mark Harmon, Chad Michael Murray, Christina Vidal Mitchell, Haley Hudson, Lucille Soong, Stephen Tobolowsky, and Rosalind Chao will also reprise their roles from the original film. They’ll be joined by Julia Butters, Sophia Hammons, Manny Jacinto, Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, and Vanessa Bayer.
The original Freaky Friday came out in 2003, and it starred Curtis and Lohan as a mother-daughter duo whose lives take a wild turn after their bodies are magically switched. It was based on Mary Rodgers’s book of the same name, which previously inspired several adaptations.
Freaky Friday will be released by Walt Disney Studios on August 8 before streaming on Disney+ at a later date.
