As a child of the mid-noughties, I can’t contain my excitement! The long-awaited sequel to Freaky Friday is finally happening, and it feels like a dream come true. I remember spending countless hours watching the original movie, laughing at the hilarious antics of Anna and Tess. Now, seeing Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan reunite for this new adventure makes my heart swell with nostalgia.
Exciting news for kids and teenagers of the mid-2000s! The long-awaited sequel to the 2003 movie Freaky Friday is in production, and stars Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan recently shared some insights about it at D23.
In the initial movie, which was actually a re-creation of a 1976 film based on Mary Rodgers’ book, we see the story unfold as respected psychiatrist Dr. Tess Coleman (Curtis) and her defiant daughter Anna (Lohan) find themselves inexplicably trading places amidst the ensuing chaos.
In a subsequent installment, set twenty years later, we find that Anna has become a mother. When another strange occurrence affects her family, she is once again drawn into an extraordinary situation.
Lohan mentioned that she and Curtis continue to maintain a strong, enduring bond following their work together on the 2003 film Freaky Friday.
She shared: “It seems as though we’ve continued from where we last were, and that’s quite enchanting. To be honest, it doesn’t feel like labor; instead, it feels more like an extraordinary encounter.”
As a long-time fan of the original “Pink Slip” film, I must say that hearing Jamie Lee Curtis announce its return fills me with immense joy and excitement. With her words, it’s clear that this new iteration is meant to be more enjoyable, emotional, and tailored specifically for us die-hard fans. It seems that the team behind “Pink Slip” truly appreciates our unwavering support for the first movie, and I can’t wait to see how they’ve taken our love and translated it onto the screen. The fact that we get another chance to immerse ourselves in this captivating world is a testament to the enduring legacy of “Pink Slip” and its dedicated fanbase.
Are you as excited as we are? If so, read on for everything we know so far about Freakier Friday.
Freakier Friday release date speculation: When could it come out?
On Friday-the-Weird, we haven’t set a specific date just yet, but rest assured that the movie will grace our cinema screens somewhere around the year 2025.
In June 2024, the production of a highly awaited project kicked off, with Nisha Ganatra, known for directing Late Night, And Just Like That… and Welcome to Chippendales, taking charge.
We’ll update this page as release date details come in.
Freakier Friday cast: New and returning
Enthusiasts of the 2003 movie can look forward to the exciting news that the original actors are coming together again for this sequel.
Apart from Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan playing Tess and Anna respectively, also look forward to seeing Mark Harmon portraying Anna’s stepfather Ryan and Chad Michael Murray as her high school crush named Jake.
It’s worth noting that despite their on-screen relationship in “The Acolyte,” Manny Jacinto, who is the breakout star of the show, was actually portrayed as Anna’s husband in the series, as revealed by Curtis during an interview at D23 (as reported by Deadline).
In the upcoming sequel movie, Christina Vidal Mitchell and Haley Hudson are set to return as Anna’s dearest friends, Maddie and Peg. Notably, their band, Pink Slip, will also make an appearance in the narrative of the second film.
In a fresh twist, Rosalind Chao and Lucille Soong will reappear as another mother-daughter pair, this time managing the Chinese eatery where Anna and Tess’s story reaches its conclusion. Their portrayals from the original film have been subject to scrutiny in various reviews.
To wrap things up, character actor Stephen Tobolowsky will reprise his role as Elton Bates, the high school teacher. However, we’re left wondering if he remains a threat to Anna.
Additionally, we’ve welcomed Maitreyi Ramakrishnan from Never Have I Ever, along with young talents Julia Butters from The Fabelmans and Sophia Hammons from The Social Dilemma to our team.
Freakier Friday plot speculation: What could happen?
In the current stage, specifics about the storyline of Freaky Friday remain limited. However, Disney is assuring us of an innovative “multigenerational” twist that could potentially distinguish this remake from its predecessor, ensuring it doesn’t feel repetitive.
From my own personal experience as a blended family member, I can attest to the fact that merging two families is no walk in the park. The challenges are numerous and complex, ranging from blending parenting styles, managing emotional baggage, and creating a harmonious living environment for everyone involved. However, I’ve also discovered that love, patience, and understanding can go a long way in making it work. And sometimes, just like in the case of Tess and Anna, you might find that lightning does indeed strike twice – in the form of beautiful new relationships and unforgettable experiences that enrich your life beyond measure.
Is there a Freakier Friday trailer?
Not yet. So far, all we have is the title and logo reveal from D23 2024.
We’ll update this page once any new footage arrives.
Things are about to get even more intriguing! The movie “#FreakierFriday” featuring Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan will hit theaters in 2025.
