Production Starts On Freaky Friday Sequel With Jamie Lee Curtis & Lindsay Lohan

It’s been chatted about for a long time and now Disney announce production on the sequel to Freaky Friday, the studio’s hit comedy from 2003 starring Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan, began today in Los Angeles.

Curtis and Lohan reprise their roles as Tess and Anna Coleman. Other returning cast members from the original film include Mark Harmon, Chad Michael Murray, Christina Vidal Mitchell, Haley Hudson, Lucille Soong, Stephen Tobolowsky, and Rosalind Chao. They are joined by Julia Butters, Sophia Hammons, Manny Jacinto, and Maitreyi Ramakrishnan.

A sequel to the beloved 2003 film with a multigenerational twist, the film picks up years after Tess (Curtis) and Anna (Lohan) endured an identity crisis. Anna now has a daughter of her own and 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 film is directed by Nisha Ganatra (The High Note, Late Night). The producers are Kristin Burr, Andrew Gunn, and Jamie Lee Curtis, with Nathan Kelly, Ann Marie Sanderlin, and Lindsay Lohan serving as executive producers.

For the past decade or so it’s become ‘hip’ to produce sequel or prequels to films released a while back. Do those films regardless if where an success then,  do they need a sequel? If they do what story could they offer and should they repeat that story that made the original successful?

The Freaky Friday sequel will be released in cinemas in 2025.
