In exciting news for fans of the original, Disney has officially set a release date for “Freakier Friday”—mark your calendars for August 8, 2025. This sequel to the beloved 2003 body-swapping comedy, “Freaky Friday,” will see the return of Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan reprising their roles as the classic mother-daughter duo. Fans of the original can look forward to revisiting the comedic chemistry that made the first film such a hit.
The original “Freaky Friday” was a charming, light-hearted comedy that struck the perfect balance of humor and heart. Directed by Mark Waters, the film didn't aim to reinvent the wheel but used familiar tropes in genuinely amusing ways. Even famed director Quentin Tarantino is a fan, praising Lohan's performance and specifically geeking out over a memorable scene set at the House of Blues, where Lohan's character rocks out with her fictional band, Pink Slip. It's rare to see a teen comedy receive such admiration from a heavyweight director like Tarantino.
While Lohan's life and career have certainly evolved—she's now married to Dubai financier Bader Shammas and has undergone significant changes—her recent Netflix success in “Falling For Christmas” proves she still has the acting chops to shine on screen.
With the nostalgia factor high and the return of the original stars, “Freakier Friday” is shaping up to be a must-watch for fans of both the 2003 film and new audiences alike.
