‘Freaky Friday’ Sequel Trailer Teases Four-Way Body Swap Comedy

Disney has released the official trailer for the highly anticipated sequel to Freaky Friday, titled Freakier Friday. Starring Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan, the film is set to premiere in Australia on August 8, 2025. The sequel continues the beloved chaos and comedic elements of the original while telling a multi-generational family story.

In this follow-up, Anna Coleman (played by Lindsay Lohan) is now a successful record company executive preparing to marry Eric Davis (Manny Jacinto). Her teenage daughter Harper (Julia Butters) and soon-to-be stepsister Lily (Sophia Hammons) are uneasy about becoming siblings. At Anna’s bachelorette party, a mysterious palm reading triggers a bizarre body-swap event involving Anna and her mother Tess (Jamie Lee Curtis) swapping bodies with Harper and Lily. This four-way swap sparks a series of both humorous and heartfelt moments, including the teenagers’ efforts to disrupt the wedding and reunite Anna with her high school boyfriend Jack (Chad Michael Murray).

The sequel brings back many familiar faces, including Mark Harmon as Ryan, Christina Vidal Mitchell as Maddie, Hailee Hudson as Peg, Rosalind Chao as Pei Pei, Lucille Song as Pei Pei’s mother, and Stephen Toblosky as Mr. Bates. Married… with Children star Elaine Hendrix also joins in a guest role as Blake Kyle, a stylist working with the pop star Anna manages. New cast members include Maitreyi Ramakrishnan and Vanessa Bayer.

Directed by Nisha Ganatra, known for Late Night and Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and written by Jordan Weiss, the film’s producers include Jamie Lee Curtis, Lindsay Lohan, Kristen Bell, and Andrew Gunn. Filming took place in Los Angeles from June to August 2024.

The trailer highlights the film’s blend of nostalgic charm and contemporary humor, paying homage to the original with nods like Britney Spears vinyl records and the return of the band Pink Slip. Jamie Lee Curtis describes the sequel as “even weirder” than the original, featuring two body-swapping events and offering a fresh take on the mother-daughter relationship with deeper emotional layers.
