Disney's Freakier Friday Trailer Sparks Nostalgia

Mar 19

The internet experienced a collective wave of nostalgia as Disney dropped the first trailer for Freakier Friday, the highly anticipated sequel to the 2003 Disney hit Freaky Friday.

Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan's return ignited widespread excitement, promising a continuation of the body-swapping hijinks that captivated audiences two decades ago—but with a decidedly modern twist! The trailer reveals that Anna and Tess, now navigating the complexities of adulthood and blended families, are once again thrust into a chaotic exchange of bodies. However, this time, it appears the magical ripple effect has expanded, hinting at a potential generational swap involving new cast members as well as Anna and Tess. This expansion of the original premise clearly hopes to add a few extra comedic opportunities, exploring the generational gaps and familial dynamics.

Freakier Friday Cast and Release Date

Curtis and Lohan reprise their iconic roles, their on-screen chemistry as sharp as ever—with the trailer emphasizing the actors' comedic timing and physical comedy. While the trailer primarily focuses on the returning leads, it also offers tantalizing glimpses of new cast members, generating speculation about the expanded world of the film. New faces include Julia Butters as Harper Coleman (Anna's daughter), Sophia Hammons as Lily Davies (Anna's soon-to-be stepdaughter), and Harper's soon-to-be stepsister, and Manny Jacinto as Eric Davies, (Anna's new boyfriend and Lily's father). So obviously things are going to be a little messier this time around.

The film is set to hit theaters on August 8, 2025, positioning it as a key summer release for the studio—and you can watch the trailer for Freakier Friday below.
