In celebration of Mother’s Day, Disney has dropped an unexpected and quirky trailer for its upcoming Freaky Friday sequel, Freakier Friday. The new film, set to release on August 8, 2025, marks the return of Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan, who reprise their iconic roles as Tess and Anna Coleman, respectively, in a follow-up to the 2003 hit.
The original Freaky Friday was a box-office success, grossing over $160 million against a $26 million budget. The sequel’s early marketing taps into nostalgia for the original film, but with a modern comedic twist.
The new trailer, designed to bring joy to mothers everywhere, begins as a typical Mother’s Day message before taking an unexpected turn. Chad Michael Murray, who joins the cast, steals the spotlight with a 30-second, over-the-top moment where he poses dramatically at the camera. The video, which culminates with a flashing “Happy Mother’s Day!” message, provides a humorous and light-hearted nod to the challenges mothers face.
The Freakier Friday Mother’s Day trailer exemplifies the film’s commitment to blending humor with heart. It plays with the beloved concept of the mother-daughter relationship, a central theme in both films. Despite the film’s release being months away, this clever promotional gimmick aims to keep the sequel on the public’s radar while celebrating a key holiday.
Though it’s still early, the trailer hints at a more outlandish comedic style for the sequel. Freakier Friday looks to build on the charm of its predecessor while updating the premise for a new generation. Fans can expect a series of body swaps, but with more characters involved and a deeper focus on the evolving dynamics between the main characters.
As the countdown to the film’s release continues, Disney’s innovative approach to marketing ensures that Freakier Friday will remain a topic of conversation throughout the year.
