As a child of the early 2000s, I must say, I am beyond excited about the upcoming Freakier Friday sequel! The thought of Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis sharing the screen once more brings me back to a time when life was simpler, and Disney movies ruled our hearts. The fact that so many original cast members are returning is just the cherry on top of this nostalgic sundae.
As a child of the millennium, it feels like we’re on the verge of victory! The news of a Freaky Friday sequel is making my day. If you’re reading this, Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis might already be on set! Production for the movie began just last month. But what truly excites me is that several original cast members are coming back for this long-anticipated sequel.
Manny Jacinto Has Been Cast As Lindsay Lohan’s Freakier Friday Husband
Previously, there was an exciting announcement about Manny Jacinto, who stars in both “The Good Place” and “The Acolyte,” joining the cast of “Freaky Friday.” However, details regarding his role were kept confidential. Now, at the D23 Expo, Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis officially revealed that Manny will be portraying Anna Coleman’s husband in the film! As Curtis shared with Entertainment Weekly:
Manny plays Lindsay’s husband. But that’s like as much as we can say.
Recently, Manny Jacinto shared his enthusiasm about joining the upcoming sequel of “Freaky Friday,” following his popularity surge from his performance in “Star Wars.” During a chat about the revival of the Lohan era, he didn’t reveal many details but hinted that his role would mark a significant change for him professionally, referring to it as “another big shift.” As for Lindsay Lohan’s thoughts on working with Jacinto, she expressed her excitement.
Manny is lovely. So funny.
With four seasons spent acting alongside Kristen Bell, Ted Danson, and others on NBC’s “The Good Place,” Manny Jacinto has proven he can keep up with a funny troupe. Thus, it’s expected he will excel in “Freakier Friday.” However, we wonder about the fate of Lohan’s Anna’s initial romantic interest, given this new role.
So… What’s Going To Happen With Chad Michael Murray’s Character?
As a devoted fan, I can assure you that Chad Michael Murray’s character, Jake, is indeed included in the cast for Freakier Friday. So, there’s no reason to worry about that! In fact, last month, the actor himself shared a sneak peek of Jake, hinting at his return on a motorcycle. Here it is:

It appears you’re curious about who Chad Michael Murray might be playing, given that he isn’t Anna’s partner, but rather could be involved with Jamie Lee Curtis’ character Tess. There was a playful interaction between Curtis and Murray when the first image of Jake was unveiled. However, Mark Harmon is set to reprise his role as Tess’ husband, Ryan, who they married in the initial film. So, it seems that Murray’s character might be in a different romantic situation. Here’s what Jamie Lee Curtis hinted about it:
Chad is in it. And boy, oh boy, is Chad in it.
Could it be that every twenty years, Jake returns to serenade his high school sweetheart with “Hit Me Baby (One More Time)” once more? I certainly hope this is the case. However, let me share my theory. Given that Lindsay Lohan will be playing the mother and a few young actors have been cast, it seems plausible to me that Anna and Jake could be parents of a child or children from their past relationship. Honestly, doesn’t Jake give off a divorced dad vibe?
My speculation leans towards the plot of “Freakier Friday” involving Anna marrying Manny Jacinto’s character, with Jake attempting to reclaim her affections by arriving on his motorcycle. The goal is for them to reunite as a family before Anna makes her vows. Throughout this story, there will likely be some amusing body-swapping events, and it’s possible that Jake might somehow get entangled in these shenanigans himself. It’s merely an assumption, but I’m excited because Chad Michael Murray is part of the movie cast, and Jacinto plays a significant role as well.
Although the release date for “Freakier Friday” hasn’t been set, rest assured that it will be included in the 2025 movie lineup! At this moment, you can enjoy “Freaky Friday” by subscribing to Disney+ and streaming it online.
