'Freaky Friday 2': 8 Things to Know About the Sequel — From Cast to Release Date

Two decades after Freaky Friday dominated the big screen, Disney officially greenlit the sequel in March. Before the confirmation, rumors about Freaky Friday 2 made rounds in October 2022 when Jamie Lee Curtis told The View co-hosts that she had expressed interest in a sequel.

The next film was confirmed two decades after the 2003 film earned a whopping $160 million at the worldwide box office.

Curtis and Lindsay Lohan are reprising their roles as Tess and Anna. The costars notably played their characters, who underwent an identity crisis, in the beloved film.

The other returning cast members from the first film include Rosalind Chao, Chad Michael Murray, Mark Harmon, Christina Vidal Mitchell, Haley Hudson, Lucille Soong and Stephen Tobolowsky.

Aside from the returnees, Freaky Friday fans should also watch out for the performances by Manny Jacinto, Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, Sophia Hammons and Julia Butters. Their roles have not been disclosed.

Freaky Friday 2 takes place 20 years after the events in its predecessor. According to Elle, Anna and Tess switch bodies again — but not with each other.

"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," the description on Disney's website read.

Lohan also shared a little hint about what fans should expect from the next film.

"I can’t say much. But I am taking guitar lessons, and I do have a daughter in the movie," she told Nightline. "It’s gonna be a freaky Friday. Much freakier than you would expect."
