The body-swapping magic is back—and this time, it’s getting even freakier. Walt Disney Pictures brings a fresh, hilarious, and heartfelt sequel to the beloved 2003 hit with “Freakier Friday”, directed by Nisha Ganatra and penned by Jordan Weiss. With a powerhouse cast led by returning icons Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan, the franchise takes on a new generation of chaos, comedy, and mother-daughter mayhem.

👩‍👧 Then & Now: A Multigenerational Switcheroo

Two decades after Tess and Anna Coleman traded lives in the original Freaky Friday, things have settled—sort of. Tess (Curtis) is now a loving grandmother, while Anna (Lohan) is navigating motherhood and a new romance. But when a mystical mix-up strikes again—this time involving Harper, Anna’s daughter, and Lily, her soon-to-be stepdaughter—chaos erupts across generations.

This isn’t just mother-daughter switching anymore. It’s moms, daughters, grandmothers, and soon-to-be stepfamilies caught in a tangled web of empathy, awkwardness, and hilariously misunderstood group chats.
