Breaking news for fans of Disney’s classic comedy! This morning, Friday, June 6, Disney officially unleashed the new official trailer for the highly anticipated sequel, “Freakier Friday,” and it’s everything we’ve been waiting for and more! Just minutes after its release, the internet is already buzzing with excitement over the glorious return of Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan to their iconic roles.
After over two decades, the beloved mother-daughter duo, Tess Coleman (Jamie Lee Curtis) and Anna Coleman (Lindsay Lohan), are back to face another identity crisis. But this time, the “freaky” twist involves a whole new generation. The official synopsis reveals the story picks up years after their original body-swapping mishap. Anna now has a daughter of her own, Harper (played by Julia Butters), and is navigating the complexities of a blended family with a soon-to-be stepdaughter, Lily (Sophia Hammons). As they try to merge two families, lightning, it seems, truly does strike twice!
The trailer, vibrant and packed with comedic gold, teases a chaotic yet heartwarming journey. The body-swapping magic seems to spread, creating a four-way identity crisis involving Tess, Anna, Harper, and Lily! While specific details on who swaps with whom are kept tantalizingly under wraps for the full film, the visuals hint at truly “freakier” misadventures and a broader scope to the magical mix-up.
One of the most exciting reveals for long-time fans is the return of Chad Michael Murray as Jake, Anna’s former crush from the original film. The trailer hilariously teases a central comedic plot: when the body-swap occurs, Harper (finding herself in Anna’s body) and Lily (in Tess’s body) decide to take matters into their own hands! Their mission? To cunningly try and reunite Anna and Jake in a desperate bid to prevent Anna’s upcoming wedding to her fiancé, Eric Davies (Manny Jacinto). This adds a fresh, laugh-out-loud layer of romantic meddling to the already chaotic body-swap scenario! The trailer also offers a glimpse of Saturday Night Live alum Vanessa Bayer as a quirky psychic, hinting at her role as a catalyst or early indicator of the magical events.
Fans will be thrilled to see not only Curtis and Lohan back in action, showcasing their incredible comedic chemistry, but also a host of familiar faces reprising their roles from the 2003 hit. Confirmed returning cast members include Mark Harmon as Ryan, Rosalind Chao as Pei-Pei, Ryan Malgarini as Harry Coleman, Christina Vidal Mitchell as Maddie, Haley Hudson as Peg, and Stephen Tobolowsky as Mr. Bates.
Joining the original cast are exciting new talents like Manny Jacinto, Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, Julia Butters, and Sophia Hammons, ensuring a dynamic blend of seasoned favorites and fresh energy that promises to delight both old and new audiences.
Nisha Ganatra directs “Freakier Friday,” based on Mary Rodgers’s original book “Freaky Friday,” with a screenplay by Jordan Weiss. The film promises to deliver the laughs and heart that made the first film a timeless favorite. Producer credits go to Kristin Burr, p.g.a., Andrew Gunn, p.g.a., and Jamie Lee Curtis. Nathan Kelly, Ann Marie Sanderlin, and Lindsay Lohan serve as executive producers.
Mark your calendars! “Freakier Friday” is set to hit theaters exclusively on August 8. If this explosive new official trailer is any indication, we’re in for a truly “freakier” and funnier ride than ever before, celebrating family bonds, unexpected twists, and a whole lot of laughter!
