Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis are coming back together for the sequel of their 2003 film Freaky Friday, called 'Freakier Friday'.

Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis have officially confirmed that Freaky Friday 2 is currently in the works and they will both be coming back together to star in the sequel.

The concept of a Freaky Friday film has been done many times before but the 2003 movie created by Disney is about a mother, played by Jamie Lee, and her daughter, played by Lindsay, who have a terrible mother-daughter relationship until a freak accident forces them to switch bodies and live out each other's lives.

At D23 2024 in August, Lohan and Curtis announced the name of the sequel, Freakier Friday, and the actors shared a little more information about what fans can expect from the movie.

Freaky Friday 2 comes after the huge success of the movie musical remake of Mean Girls, which Lindsay made a cameo in.

So, as we prep for some more major 2000's nostalgia, here's everything we know about the movie in the works, from the possible plot and cast to the release date.

What is Freaky Friday 2 about?

The plot for Freakier Friday hasn't yet been confirmed, however, the official synopsis alludes to Anna (Lohan) having "a daughter of her own and a soon-to-be stepdaughter" who must "navigate challenges that come when two families merge."

Meanwhile, Entertainment Weekly reported that Manny Jacinto will play Anna's husband, while Chad Michael Murray will return with a new motorbike.

In the first film Lindsay plays a teenager but this film will see her as an adult. On The Drew Barrymore Show Drew asked Lindsay: "Will you be the mum this time?"

"I - we'll see," Lindsay said before miming that she is keeping her mouth zipped. So, we can infer that this time around the daughter Anna, played by Lindsay, will find herself in a 'Freaky Friday' situation with her own child.

When is Freaky Friday 2 coming out?

A cinema release has been confirmed for Freaky Friday 2 in 2025, however a specific date is yet to be revealed. It was confirmed that filming had commenced in June 2024.

When Lindsay revealed that the sequel was definitely in the works on Andy Cohen’s SiriusXM show she was asked for a timeline on the production of the film and when it might come out, but she replied: “I won’t say that yet. I don’t want to say too much.”

Who is in the cast of Freaky Friday 2?

• Lindsay Lohan
• Jamie Lee Curtis
• Chad Michael Murray
• Mark Harmon
• Christina Vidal Mitchell
• Haley Hudson
• Lucille Soog
• Stephen Tobolowsky
• Rosalind Chao

The fictional band 'Pink Slip' from the first Freaky Friday is reportedly returning for the sequel which means we can expect Christina Vidal, and Haley Hudson to also join the cast - or perhaps Lindsay's character will find new bandmates.

Also, Chad Michael Murray is returning to reprise his role as Jake! It's going to be super nostalgic.
