As a long-time fan who grew up watching Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis in their iconic roles, I can hardly contain my excitement for the upcoming sequel to “Freaky Friday” – Freakier Friday! The nostalgia of returning to a beloved franchise is overwhelming, like stepping back into a time machine and being 10 years old again.
Enthusiasts have long anticipated a continuation of the movie titled “Freaky Friday,” and we’re now one step closer with the announcement of “Freakier Friday.” This sequel promises to bring back several beloved characters, such as Jamie Lee Curtis, Lindsay Lohan, and Chad Michael Murray, who will reprise their roles as Anna and Jake. However, before they return to our screens, Lohan and Murray will feature in holiday-themed productions on Netflix. During interviews with Collider while promoting their respective upcoming projects – Lohan for “Our Little Secret” and Murray for “The Merry Gentlemen” – both actors shared their enthusiasm for “Freakier Friday,” hinting at a delightful sequel filled with fun and excitement.
Returning to the magical world of Walt Disney Studios for “Freakier Friday” was a delightful and nostalgic journey for Lohan, who had previously shone in films like “Freaky Friday,” “The Parent Trap,” “Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen,” and “Herbie: Fully Loaded.
Upon my return to Disney, it felt like stepping into a magical time machine. Disney is such an extraordinary entity that it was almost as if I had become a child again. The experience was exhilarating, enchanting, and incredibly enjoyable. The entire process filled me with immense joy. I am beyond thrilled about the upcoming movie and can’t wait to unveil it to the world. It is truly a masterpiece and a fantastic journey that I am eager to share with everyone.
In the original 2003 film, Jake, who rode a motorcycle portrayed Murray, shared Anna’s romantic interest. Reflecting on this experience, Murray commented that it was incredibly enjoyable and seemed more like pleasure than labor, stating, “It felt nothing like work.
Reflecting on the timeless charm of this film, I can’t help but long to rewind the clock and immerse myself in its magic once more. The performances by Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan were nothing short of legendary, creating a nostalgic yearning for everyone to relive that era. It was a time when freedom reigned supreme, a feeling this movie captured beautifully. They had an exceptional script, a talented team, and it was evident from the start that it was destined for success. With Jamie Curtis driving the project forward with her tenacity and Lindsay Lohan eager to make a triumphant return, it was an easy decision for all involved. The experience was exhilarating, and I can’t help but feel that it wasn’t work at all – it felt like pure fun!
What Can We Expect from Freakier Friday?
In 2003, Walt Disney Studios released “Freaky Friday,” which turned out to be both a financial and critical hit. The movie raked in over $160 million at the box office, and both Lohan and Curtis received praise for their roles as the body-swapped daughter and mother duo Anna and Tess Coleman. Notably, Curtis was also nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy category. Recently, in 2022, almost two decades after the initial release, Curtis has been vocal about the desire to make a sequel to “Freaky Friday.” As per Lohan, she and Curtis have been discussing the possibility of reprising their roles for quite some time, so this project has been in the works for a while.
Jamie Lee Curtis and I have been discussing this idea for quite some time due to our close relationship. For several years, we had these discussions. Eventually, she decided to take action, becoming more insistent about it. It was during the filming of “Irish Wish” in Ireland that she had her meeting, and she told me they were on board with the project.
In the movie “Freakier Friday,” Tess and Anna find themselves in another identity mix-up years later. This time, Anna is a mother with a daughter, while Tess has a stepdaughter. As they blend their families, they encounter difficulties, and it seems that fate might repeat itself as lightning could strike twice. The plot hints that Anna’s fiancé, Eric Davis, will play a role in the storyline, but we’ll have to watch and find out how Jake fits into the picture.
Starting November 20th, Netflix will begin streaming “The Merry Gentlemen” by Murray, while “Our Little Secret,” led by Lindsay Lohan, arrives on the platform on November 27th. “Freakier Friday” is set for a cinema release on August 8, 2025. This upcoming film is directed by Nisha Ganatra and features Mark Harmon, Julia Butters, Manny Jacinto, Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, and Sophia Hammons in addition to Curtis, Lohan, and Murray.
