The fanatical following of the beloved 2003 movie Freaky Friday has longed for a sequel ever since it was released because Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis have finally announced that their eagerly-awaited Freakier Friday film is going to be released. The news hit social media through a playful post by the two stars, giving people an idea of what to expect in the film.
Lohan and Curtis have given the world a sneak peek that will have everyone in an uproar. The two actresses recreate an iconic scene from the movie, which focuses on the funny and heart-warming story of a mother and daughter who mysteriously find themselves swapping bodies. In the photo, Lohan and Curtis are wearing their pajamas just like their characters Anna and Tess Coleman do in the original film. It represents the screen relationship between them and the chaos that finally spirals out of control after the bodies have been swapped.
What makes the picture even more meaningful is that both of them are wearing wedding bands and hinting at how the lives of their respective characters panned out since the original movie. Other than that, the facial expressions of their characters capture them raising their faces in disbelief, a nod to the comedic moment when Anna and Tess realize they are stuck in each other’s bodies. It has become pop among fans that Lohan and Curtis have chemistry, and the teaser stirs so much excitement as it’s about more fun, heart-warming times of to come.
With it came some exciting news that all fans have been waiting so long to hear: a release date. The caption reads, “TGIF. #FreakierFriday comes in the theaters August 8, 2025.” So that shot around social media like fire – so many exuberant longtime fans and newcomers exploded in confirmation of the release date.
The announcement also let a little bit of light in on how Freakier Friday was going to be made. Jamie Lee Curtis tells Extra that it was a real blast filming the sequel with Lohan. “It was so fun,” Curtis said. “We just did it this summer … We came together for 42 days and just laughed a lot, cried a lot.” The actress, now 65-year-old, reunited with Lohan after more than two decades since they first appeared together on screen in Freaky Friday“.
The essence of the movie, however, was lost amidst attempts to be fresh. At the top of the list is the dynamic between Curtis and Lohan-the reason why Freaky Friday remains such a nostalgic film for many within the early 2000s. The original captured a mix of humor, emotion, and that timeless body-swapping trope to deliver a heartwarming story about appreciation and family. With Freakier Friday, fans cannot wait to see how this dynamic has morphed, wondering if the next film will capture all that made the original film so special.
Since Freaky Friday, both Lohan and Curtis built very impressive careers. Curtis acted in many films in the horror, drama, and comedy genres, while Lohan returned to acting after having spent some years out of the public eye. Their meeting at the filming of Freakier Friday is not only a milestone for fans and audiences in love with the first movie but also for the actresses playing those iconic roles, since they revisit pop culture icons.
Nothing much has been said about the plot for the new one, but even without knowing what it is going to be about, fans are already speculating that Freakier Friday picks up where the first movie left off but with surprises. The original movie had Anna and Tess who engage in body-swapping when a magical fortune cookie plays its trick on them. Themes of empathy and family dynamics were set in a light-hearted yet touching manner. So, based on this title Freakier Friday, a sequel is expected to evolve even more further into some very outrageous levels of hilarity and comedy.
Much-awaited Freakier Friday still waits to gain much more steam since the latest news from Lohan and Curtis hints towards much excitement building up prior to the release. Now with this date in view there is now a countdown to August 8, 2025 for the much-awaited return of Anna and Tess; announcements such as these no doubt sent thrillers for fans awaiting an update on this film sequel. The more information which unfolds the clearer it becomes that this particular sequel will have every opportunity to reconnect with all the appeal of the original while delivering an entirely new and exciting storyline for both new and returning fans alike.
Chemistry between Lohan and Curtis, coupled with the nostalgic value of Freaky Friday, promises to make Freakier Friday one of the most talked about releases of 2025. Whether it will live up to the expectations set by its predecessor remains to be seen but if glimpses are what early signs look like, it seems there’s in store a fun, emotional, and of course freaky ride for the audiences.
