The “Freaky Friday” sequel is scheduled for 2025. Three days after costar Jamie Lee Curtis marked the last Friday of filming for Freakier Friday, it was Lindsay Lohan’s turn. The younger actress posted “my heart is so full” on the final Monday of filming the sequel to 2023’s Freaky Friday. “I’m so grateful to have made this film, a story of family, mothers and their children and a film filled with love, laughter and a ton of heart!” she wrote. “It has been a pleasure to work with my dear friend jamieleecurtis who brings so much joy to our set everyday and she has made this all the more special!” Curtis, in her own post, referred to Lohan as “my ULTIMATE movie daughter.” The Disney sequel has been a long time coming. Freaky Friday hit theaters in August 2003, before Curtis had even done Christmas with the Cranks. For Lohan, Mean Girls was still in her future. “It’s a movie about life,” the Halloween actress added. “The first movie was about love and loss and life, and this is just freakier. It’s more loving, more emotional.”
Along with Lohan and Curtis, the long-awaited sequel will costar several actors from the original film about teenaged Anna Coleman and her mom Tess temporarily swapping bodies, thanks to a supernatural spell. Both Chad Michael Murray, who played the boy Anna had a crush on, and Mark Harmon, who portrayed Tess’ new husband, Ryan, are on board. The same goes for Haley Hudson and Christina Vidal Mitchell, in their roles as members of Anna’s band. Stephen Tobolowsky is back as Elton Bates, Anna’s former teacher and Tess’ former classmate, while Rosalind Chao and Lucille Soong play the mother-daughter duo key to the swap. “There’s more physical comedy in this. Much more than the original,” she said at D23. “I love that. Put up a glass door and let me fake walk into it. Where do I get to trip?”
