The much-anticipated sequel, "Freakier Friday," is set to hit cinemas on August 8, promising a thrilling continuation of the beloved 2003 film "Freaky Friday." Directed by Nisha Ganatra, known for her work on "The High Note" and "Late Night," the film brings back Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan in their iconic roles as Tess and Anna Coleman. This Disney production follows the mother-daughter duo as they face new challenges in a four-way body swap scenario, featuring Anna's now middle-aged children.
Spanning 22 years since the release of "Freaky Friday," "Freakier Friday" picks up with Tess and Anna navigating the intricacies of merging two families. The sequel, not a reboot or a remake, stays true to its family-friendly roots and promises an abundance of comedic hijinks. With the official synopsis hinting at even more chaos for the Colemans, audiences can expect a delightful blend of humor and heart.
The film also features a dancing Manny Jacinto, adding to the ensemble cast's charm. As a legacy sequel, "Freakier Friday" carries forward the legacy of its predecessors—the original 1976 film and its 2003 remake—while introducing fresh elements to captivate both returning fans and newcomers. Disney's latest offering aims to break Lindsay Lohan free from her recent run of Netflix Christmas movies, showcasing her talents in a dynamic and entertaining role.
