It’s a Freakier Friday for Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan in the first look trailer for their body-swap comedy

Here we go again!

It’s been over 20 years since Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan first swapped bodies in 2003’s much loved remake Freaky Friday.  You’d think by now lessons would have been learned, but it seems the universe has some unfinished business for the Academy Award winner and the Mean Girls alum if the trailer for Freakier Friday is anything to go by.

In the film, Curtis and Lohan reprise their roles as Tess and Anna Coleman, with the story picking up years after Tess (Curtis) and Anna (Lohan) endured their 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.

Bringing back Mark Harmon and Chad Michael Murray into the freaky fray, also starring Julia Butters, Sophia Hammons, Manny Jacinto, Maitreyi Ramakrishnan and Vanessa Bayer, and directed by Nisha Ganatra (Late Night, The High Note), Freakier Friday will be released exclusively in Australian and New Zealand theatres from August 7th, 2025.
