More than 20 years after its release, the 2003 version of Freaky Friday is finally getting a sequel. The OG installment followed Tess and Anna Coleman , a mother-and-daughter duo that have extremely different personalities and don't look eye-to-eye on most things. After the two engage in a fight at a Chinese restaurant, they accidentally switch bodies and live in each other's skin for a while.
Lohan was equally drawn to the opportunity to share the screen with her former co-star, confirming the news back in March while on Radio Andy. Yet, it was only recently that more information about the sequel came out, including the return of more actors from the OG ensemble and further insight into the plot. As the cast and crew head to set to introduce another body swap venture, here is everything we know so far about the film.
7 Will 'Freaky Friday 2' Be Released in Theaters or on Streaming? The film will arrive in theaters first before heading to streaming, much like other Disney + titles. The original installment grossed over $160 million worldwide during its theatrical run and, given its comfort-watch popularity over the years, there might be an even greater box office reception for the sequel.
5 Which Stars Are Returning for 'Freaky Friday 2'? Close In addition to Curtis and Lohan, there are several cast members from the OG film that will return for the sequel. Starting with Chad Michael Murray, who played Jake, Anna's brooding love interest who was torn between falling for her or her mother after the body swap.
According to a casting call reported by Entertainment Weekly, Anna's daughter will be called Hannah, and much like her mother in the 2003 project, she isn't delighted to have a new stepfather. Years after being a single mom, Anna is ready to tie the knot with a renowned restauranteur called Eric Davis, and also be a role model to her stepdaughter Lily.
