Filming is officially underway in Los Angeles on a sequel to the 2003 body-swapping comedy Freaky Friday. Oscar winner Jamie Lee Curtis (Everything Everywhere All at Once) and Lindsay Lohan, reprising their roles as Tess and Anna Coleman, hold hands in the first behind-the-scenes photo from the set.
The sequel is also welcoming back Mark Harmon, Chad Michael Murray, Christina Vidal Mitchell, Haley Hudson, Lucille Soong, Stephen Tobolowsky, and Rosalind Chao. Newcomers include Julia Butters, Sophia Hammons, Manny Jacinto, and Maitreyi Ramakrishnan.
“A sequel to the beloved 2003 film with a multigenerational twist, the film picks up years after Tess (Curtis) and Anna (Lohan) endured an identity crisis,” reads Disney’s synopsis. “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.”
The original film starring Curtis and Lohan, which earned an 88% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, opened in theaters in August 2003. Disney’s targeting a 2025 theatrical release for the sequel.
The 2003 movie, based on Mary Rodgers’ novel, was directed by Mark Waters. Nisha Ganatra (Late Night) is at the helm of the sequel, with Jamie Lee Curtis, Kristin Burr, and Andrew Gunn producing. Nathan Kelly, Ann Marie Sanderlin, and Lindsay Lohan are executive producing.
