It’s been over two decades since the original, but Freakier Friday is on the way with Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan reprising their roles as the body-swapping mother-daughter duo Tess and Anna Coleman. 2003’s Freaky Friday is widely regarded as one of the best body-swap comedies of all time, thanks in no small part to astounding performances from both Lohan and Curtis. The upcoming Freaky Friday sequel will bring Tess and Anna back to screens as they find themselves once more trading places.

Though the larger Freaky Friday universe stretches all the way back to the 1970s, the Aughts classic revived it with an exciting sH๏τ of modernity. Both Lohan and Curtis gave some of the best comedic performances of their careers, and the film managed to hold on to the charm that lies at the heart of Mary Rodgers’ original novel. Now, Freakier Friday has the chance to bring the nearly 50-year-old film franchise to another generation with all the charm and heart that only Disney can deliver.

Another Body-Swapping Adventure

Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis will reprise their roles as Anna and Tess Coleman, and the mother-daughter pair will once again be swapping bodies.

As is often the case with Disney movies, the legacy sequel is cranking the nostalgia to 11.
