Freakier Friday (2025): Everything You Need to Know About Disney’s Magical Body-Swap Sequel

Get ready for a freakier, funnier, and even more chaotic Friday! Freakier Friday, the highly anticipated sequel to Disney’s 2003 hit Freaky Friday, is set to hit theaters on August 8, 2025. Directed by Nisha Ganatra and written by Jordan Weiss, this magical body-swap comedy will bring back fan-favorite characters while introducing a new generation of switch-ups and surprises.

The Story – What’s Freakier This Time?

The original Freaky Friday followed Tess (Jamie Lee Curtis) and Anna Coleman (Lindsay Lohan), a mother-daughter duo who magically switched bodies for one chaotic day. Now, in Freakier Friday, the body-swapping madness isn’t just happening to two people—it’s spreading across generations!

This time, Anna’s daughter Harper (Julia Butters) and her soon-to-be stepsister Lily (Sophia Hammons) accidentally trigger a new switch, dragging Tess and Anna back into the chaos.
