Jamie Lee Curtis is set to revisit her beloved role as a mother in the upcoming sequel to 2003’s Freaky Friday. At 65, Curtis will reprise her character Tess, the mother of Lindsay Lohan’s Anna, in Freakier Friday. Fans can look forward to seeing Curtis once again in a dynamic mother-daughter role, continuing the magic of the original film.
As filming for Freakier Friday, set to hit theaters in 2025, nears completion, Jamie Lee Curtis took to social media on Friday, August 16, to express her admiration for Lindsay Lohan. At 38, Lohan is reprising her role as Anna, and Curtis shared her praise for her co-star, celebrating their on-screen reunion and the work they’ve accomplished together on the highly anticipated sequel.
“The last FRIDAY of this FREAKIEST FRIDAY, or shall I call it CRYDAY,” Jamie Lee Curtis wrote on Instagram. “I’m feeling especially grateful to my ULTIMATE movie daughter, @lindsaylohan, without whom we could not have made this movie. Ever.” Curtis’s heartfelt post highlights her appreciation for Lohan and the pivotal role she played in bringing the sequel to life.
Curtis, whose character in Freaky Friday famously switched bodies with her teenage daughter in the original film, also shared a special moment from the production. She revealed that Lohan gifted her a @suziekondi shift dress after Curtis complimented Lohan on hers. “I wore it today in honor of her,” Curtis wrote in her post. “We still have a couple days left next week, but it’s winding down.” This thoughtful gesture and Curtis’s heartfelt tribute reflect the close bond and appreciation between the two stars as they wrap up filming.
Lindsay Lohan responded to Jamie Lee Curtis’s heartfelt post with enthusiasm, commenting, “So much [love] and gratitude for YOU and this WONDERFUL experience and many future fun times together to come!!”
Earlier this month, Disney released the official synopsis for Freakier Friday. The story picks up years after Tess (Curtis) and Anna (Lohan) experienced their original identity switch. Now, Anna has a daughter of her own and a soon-to-be stepdaughter. As they navigate the complexities of merging two families, Tess and Anna discover that “lightning might indeed strike twice.”
The sequel will also see the return of several original stars from Freaky Friday, including Chad Michael Murray and Mark Harmon, adding to the excitement for fans of the beloved 2003 film.
On June 24, Disney Studios shared a TikTok clip featuring Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis on the set of Freakier Friday, with the caption, “The band’s back together and coming to theaters in 2025.” The video showed the duo popping their heads out of their trailers and posing for photos. Both Lohan and Curtis reposted the clip to their Instagram accounts, generating a wave of excitement from fans.
Among those expressing enthusiasm was John Stamos, who joined the buzz by commenting on Lohan’s post, “Can I do a guest spot?” The 61-year-old Full House star’s playful suggestion added to the excitement surrounding the film’s highly anticipated reunion.
The cast of Freakier Friday is set to include several returning stars from the original film, alongside a fresh lineup of new talent. Christina Vidal Mitchell, Haley Hudson, Lucille Soong, Stephen Tobolowsky, and Rosalind Chao are all making a return for the sequel. They will be joined by newcomers Julia Butters, Sophia Hammons, Manny Jacinto, and Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, adding a new dynamic to the beloved franchise. The mix of familiar faces and new actors is expected to bring both nostalgia and excitement to the upcoming film.
