After years of teasing, the Freaky Friday sequel has finally been confirmed – with Lindsay Lohan, Jamie Lee Curtis and Chad Michael Murray reprising their roles.
The iconic body-swap comedy first hit our screens in 2003, following Anna (Lindsay) and Tess (Jamie Lee) unwittingly swapping identities thanks to very cryptic fortune cookies.
Chaos inevitably ensued as the mom-of-two found herself plunged back into high school shortly before her wedding, while her teenage daughter ran riot with her credit card.
More than two decades later, the pair sent fans wild as they posed in front of their trailers on set, announcing that Freaky Friday 2 is officially on the way.
In the sweet snap, Lindsay, 37, and Jamie Lee, 65, held hands and smiled while sitting in front of each other’s trailers.
The message, from the Disney Twitter account, read: ‘The Colemans are back and coming to theaters in 2025! The sequel to Freaky Friday is now in production!’

Unsurprisingly, movie fans went wild over the news and flocked to social media to celebrate the confirmation that the flick would arrive in cinemas first.
Taking to Twitter, Cami penned: ‘WAIT IM SO HYPED I LOVE THIS MOVIE SO MUCH Take Me Away and Ultimate ARE ENGRAVED IN MY BRAIN.’
Jenna Anderson agreed: ‘This is so extremely important to me.’
‘This is the best day of my life,’ Andrew shared.

As Nicole Drum added: ‘It makes me so happy to see Lindsay Lohan thriving.’
Honestly? Hard same.
According to Deadline, Disney confirmed we’ll be reintroduced to Anna who now has a daughter of her own, as well as a ‘soon-to-be stepdaughter’.
‘As they navigate the myriad challenges that come when two families merge, Tess and Anna discover that lightning might indeed strike twice,’ the publication states.

Mark Harmon, who played Tess’ fiancé, Ryan, will be returning to the fold alongside former castmates Christina Vidal Mitchell, Haley Hudson, Stephen Tobolowsky, Rosaling Chao and Lucille Soong.
Maitreyi Ramakrishnan is leading the new cast, with Manny Jacinto, Julia Butters and Sophia Hammons also on board – Nisha Ganatra is serving as director.
The movie was based on Mary Rodgers’ 1972 novel of the same name, and was first made into a film in 1976, starring Jodie Foster and Barbara Harris.
We’ve all been crying out for a sequel for years and Jamie Lee vowed last year that it was on the cards.
‘It’s going to happen,’ she insisted at the Producers Guild Awards. ‘Without saying there’s anything officially happening, I’m looking at you in this moment and saying, “Of course it’s going to happen.”
‘It’s going to happen.’
Thankfully, it actually is happening.
Freaky Friday 2 is slated to be released in 2025.
