Fans of the 2003 hit film Freaky Friday have reason to celebrate as its sequel, Freakier Friday, is set to hit theaters on August 8. The upcoming film, directed by Nisha Ganatra, reunites audiences with beloved characters Anna and Tess Coleman, played by Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis, respectively. Twenty-two years after the original, the sequel promises a fresh twist where the iconic duo finds themselves swapping bodies with two other individuals.
Freakier Friday boasts an impressive ensemble cast with both returning and new faces. Joining Lohan and Curtis are Vanessa Bayer, Julia Butters, Manny Jacinto, Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, and Sophia Hammons. Additionally, fans will be thrilled to see familiar faces Mark Harmon, Chad Michael Murray, Christina Vidal Mitchell, Haley Hudson, Lucille Soong, Stephen Tobolowsky, and Rosalind Chao reprising their roles from the original film.
A delightful surprise comes with the cameo appearance of Elaine Hendrix, known for her role in The Parent Trap. Her presence adds an unexpected layer of nostalgia for viewers.

The film's plot thickens as Anna is now a mother herself, with a daughter and a soon-to-be stepdaughter. The storyline follows the Coleman family as they navigate the chaos of another body-switching adventure. The film's synopsis intriguingly teases that "lightning might indeed strike twice" for Anna and Tess.
The teaser trailer, released by Disney on March 14, offers a glimpse into the comedic and heartwarming journey awaiting fans. While the film stays true to the essence of its predecessor, it introduces a new dynamic as the twins switch places to reunite their unsuspecting parents at a summer camp.
