Fans of Freaky Friday have been reacting excitedly to the release of the trailer for the sequel Freakier Friday.
The new film will be released on August 8 and will see the stars of the 2003 movie – Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis – return as their characters Anna and Tess Coleman, a mother and daughter whose bodies were swapped thanks to a mysterious fortune cookie.
This time around, Anna and Tess are part of a four-way body swap that also includes Anna’s teenage daughter and soon-to-be stepdaughter, played by Julia Butters and Sophia Hammons respectively.
See the trailer below, which heavily features Chappell Roan’s ‘Hot To Go!’.

The first glimpse of the film has got fans nostalgic and excited to return to the Freaky Friday world. “So excited to see Lindsay Lohan back on the big screen!” wrote one fan on X. “Freaky Friday is one the Disney comedy gems of the 2000s that I adore & Jamie Lee Curtis is comedy gold in this role. Good to see a mid budget movie get a big summer release! I’ll be there!”

The film was officially announced last March, and it is directed by Nisha Ganatra, who has previously helmed the films Late Night and The High Note, as well as episodes of HBO’s Sex And The City spinoff And Just Like That.
Last summer, Lohan and Curtis promised fans that they will hear new music from Pink Slip, the band that Lohan’s character fronts in the 2003 film. “Pink Slip is back, let’s put it that way,” Curtis said, with Lohan adding that fans can expect to see even more of the band in the film.
Curtis went on to explain: “Let me just say this. There’s a song in this new movie that is going to the…” before Lohan finished her sentence, explaining: “It tugs on your heartstrings.”
“It will be a very popular song,” Curtis continued. “It’ll be the song of the summer next summer. I guarantee it. And I’m an old lady and so you should trust me on this.”
The films are based on Mary Rodgers’ 1972 novel Freaky Friday, with Jodie Foster and Barbara Harris starring in the first feature film version in 1976.
