Freaky Friday 2: Confirmation, Cast & Everything We Know (2024)

It’s been over two decades since the original, but Freaky Friday 2 is on the way with Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan reprising their roles as the body-swapping mother-daughter duo Tess and Anna Coleman. 2003’s Freaky Friday is widely regarded as one of the best body-swap comedies of all time, thanks in no small part to astounding performances from both Lohan and Curtis. The upcoming Freaky Friday sequel will reportedly bring Tess and Anna back to screens as they find themselves once more trading places.

While the Freaky Friday sequel doesn’t yet have a release date development has been ongoing, and there are plenty of reveals and teases to digest before Freaky Friday 2 arrives. With Mean Girls and original Freaky Friday director Mark Waters at the helm the sequel is all but guaranteed to be a worthy spiritual successor to the classic 2003 body-swap movie. Much to the delight of fans of the original both Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan are reportedly attached to Freaky Friday 2, and the long-awaited sequel is shaping up to be a successful franchise revival for Disney.

Curtis & Lohan Are Returning

Since the project was first announced in 2023, Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis have both been signed on to reprise their roles as the mother/daughter duo of Tess and Anna Coleman. Both actors have been major proponents of the sequel, and it wouldn't be the same without their amazing chemistry. Freaky Friday 2 has also added its first new actor with the addition of young Julia Butters (The Fabelmans). Though nothing is known about Butters' role yet, it's surmised she'll be playing a teenager who swaps bodies with Lohan's Tess or Curtis' Anna.

It's unknown if any of the other original cast members from Freaky Friday will return for Freaky Friday 2. Chad Michael Murray and Mark Harmon, for example, both co-starred in the original, and there's no reason they couldn't return. There will also likely be some new additions, given that 20 years have passed in the real world, a time jump that will probably be reflected in the story too.

The confirmed cast of Freaky Friday 2 includes:

Actor	Freaky Friday Role
Jamie Lee Curtis	Tess Coleman
Lindsay Lohan	Anna Coleman
Julia Butters	Unknown

Freaky Friday 2 Story

What Will Happen In The Sequel?

The Freaky Friday 2 plot hasn’t been revealed yet, but it’s known that it will be a sequel to Freaky Friday rather than a reboot or remake. Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis will once again be playing Anna and Tess Coleman and previous comments from Curtis have also hinted that the mother-daughter pair would once again be swapping bodies. Given that twenty years have passed, it’s possible that Anna could be a mother herself in the Freaky Friday 2 plot, with a three-way swap between her, her child, and Tess kicking the body-swap antics of the Freaky Friday sequel to another level.
