Freakier Friday Trailer Taps Back Into Body-Swapping Chaos With a Few New Twists

Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis are back for more body-swapping antics in the first trailer for Freakier Friday ahead of its theatrical premiere later this summer.

The long-time-coming sequel to Disney's Freaky Friday original brings the supernatural comedy to the present day with, of course, a few twists that should keep it feeling fresh after the 22-year wait. As we’ve known for quite some time, Curtis and Lohan are back, but today’s trailer also teases that they’ll also be swapping bodies with at least two new other faces: Julia Butters and Sophia Hammons.

This solid look at how the mother-daughter duo of Anna and Tess will blossom begins when the two meet with a fortune teller who warns that a past lesson may soon become relevant once again. What follows is a montage of new hurdles to creatively leap over, and it’s all set to Chappell Roan’s HOT TO GO!. You can get a taste of some of the antics that will ensue with the first Freakier Friday trailer below.

“The story picks up years after Tess (Curtis) and Anna (Lohan) endured an identity crisis,” an official plot synopsis says. “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.”

Freakier Friday comes to theaters August 8, 2025. For more on Disney’s long-awaited sequel, you can see how Curtis and Lohan celebrated after the film secured You Me Her Director Nisha Ganatra.
