Most Recent Freak Friday 2 News
The most recent news is Freaky Friday 2 recruiting its first new cast member, but the upcoming sequel already boasts two largest returning stars. Presumably in negotiations to feature in the expected Disney legacy sequel, young talent Julia Butters could join returning Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis. The young actor is most well-known for her parts in Once Upon a Time...in Hollywood and The Fabelmans; nothing about her possible role has yet made public.
Freaky Friday 2 Verification confirmed
Disney first revealed and confirmed Freaky Friday 2 in May 2023. Two decades after the first in 2003, the greenlight announcement for the Freaky Friday Sequel surfaced and it was clear from the start that Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan would be returning in the forthcoming body-swap comedy. Screenwriter Elyse Hollander apparently is working on a script.
Freaky Friday 2 Cast
Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis have been signed on to reprise their roles as the mother/daughter pair of Tess and Anna Coleman when the project was initially revealed in 2023 Both performers have been fervent supporters of the sequel; without their incredible chemistry, things would not be the same. Young Julia Butters (The Fabelmans) has also joined Freaky Friday 2 as a first new actor. Though nothing is known about Butters' character yet, it's hypothesised she will be portraying a teenage who exchanges bodies with Lohan's Tess or Curtis's Anna.
None of the other Freaky Friday original cast members are confirmed to be returning for Freaky Friday 2. For instance, Mark Harmon and Chad Michael Murray co-starred in the original and there's no reason they couldn't come back. Given that 20 years have gone by in the real world—a time jump most likely reflected in the narrative—there will also undoubtedly be some fresh additions.
The Freaky Friday 2 Story
Although the Freaky Friday 2 storyline hasn't yet been announced, it is known that movie will follow Freaky Friday rather than a reboot or remake. Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis will once more be portraying Anna and Tess Coleman; past remarks from Curtis also suggest that the mother-daughter combo would once more be swapping bodies. Twenty years have gone by, so Anna may be a mother herself in the Freaky Friday 2 plot with a three-way exchange between her, her child, and Tess kicking the body-swap shenanigans of the Freaky Friday Sequel to another level.
Though Freaky Friday 2 is on its way, it has been over two decades since the first.
Although the original was nearly two decades ago, Freaky Friday 2 is on its way with Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan reprising their roles as the body-swapping mother-daughter team Tess and Anna Coleman. Thanks in great part to fantastic performances by Lohan and Curtis, 2003's Freaky Friday is generally considered as one of the best body-swap comedies of all time. According to the next Freaky Friday sequel, Tess and Anna will apparently be returning to screens as they find themselves once more trading locations.
Although the sequel Freaky Friday does not yet have a release date, development has been continuous and there are lots of teasers and reveals to chew on before Freaky Friday 2 shows up. Under the direction of Mean Girls and original Freaky Friday producer Mark Waters, the sequel is almost assured to be a deserving spiritual heir to the venerable 2003 body-swap thriller. Like the original's fans, Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan are apparently hooked to Freaky Friday 2, and Disney's long-awaited sequel looks to be a triumphant franchise rebirth.
