Today is a day that many Disney fans have been eagerly anticipating: the release of the latest trailer for “Freakier Friday”! Star power is back with the dynamic duo of Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan reprising their beloved roles as Tess and Anna Coleman, the mother-daughter duo who turned the concept of family upside down back in 2003.
With the original film becoming a cult classic, it’s no surprise that Disney decided to rekindle this magical storyline in a sequel that promises to be just as delightful and humorous. Announced in March 2024, the excitement has been building for this latest installment, directed by the talented Nisha Ganatra, known for her engaging work in “Welcome to Chippendales” and “And Just Like That…” Get ready for a whirlwind of fun as this new trailer unveils some fantastic teaser moments!
For those who may not remember, the original “Freaky Friday” was based on Mary Rodgers’ iconic 1972 novel. It told the heartwarming story of Tess, a widowed mother, and her rebellious daughter, Anna, who both find themselves in a sticky situation when they exchange bodies thanks to a mystical fortune cookie. The film touched on pressing themes of acceptance, understanding, and the chaos of family life, and it did so with an unforgettable comedic flair!
Now, fast forward to the present! This time, the story picks up years later and brings on some fresh surprises: a “multigenerational twist!” Anna is not only a mother now but is blending families with a soon-to-be stepdaughter as well. This means double the fun and double the chaos when Tess and Anna, alongside Anna’s daughter and stepdaughter, wake up to the ultimate body swap experience! Cue the excitement because it seems that lightning does strike twice, and this time, it strikes four times!
With the creative minds of Andrew Gunn and Kristin Burr bringing this sequel to life and a script penned by Jordan Weiss, the film promises an exhilarating mix of laughs, heartfelt moments, and of course, the familial chaos we all adore. And just when you thought the fun couldn’t get more exciting, the trailer gives us our first peek into how Anna, Tess, and their daughters manage the hilarity of navigating each other’s personalities!
Mark your calendars! “Freakier Friday” is set to hit theaters on August 8, 2025, and believe me, you won’t want to miss this perfectly chaotic adventure that’ll leave you in stitches! So, grab your friends and family because this is one body-swapping ride that promises laughter, love, and lessons to be learned. Are you ready to freak out with excitement? Because I sure am!
