Freaky Friday Director Addresses Why He Didn’t Return for Sequel

As a die-hard fan, I can’t help but share my disappointment when I learned that the director who brought our beloved 2003 “Freaky Friday” to life didn’t get the chance to steer the ship for the 2025 sequel, “Freakier Friday.” It’s a bittersweet pill to swallow, knowing that Lindsay Lohan (Anna), Jamie Lee Curtis (Tess), Chad Michael Murray (Jake), Stephen Tobolowsky (Mr. Bates), and Ryan Malgarini (Harry) are all set to return, yet our original helmsman won’t be joining them on this journey.
