The highly anticipated sequel to Disney’s classic film “Freaky Friday” is set to premiere on Disney+ on November 12, 2025. Featuring original stars Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis, the film brings back their beloved characters, Tess and Anna Coleman, who once again find themselves navigating a body-swapping situation with their blended family.
The sequel, which builds on the narrative of the 2003 film, introduces a new generation of characters, including Anna’s daughter, Harper, played by Julia Butters, and Anna’s soon-to-be stepdaughter, Lily, portrayed by Sophia Hammons. This multigenerational twist aims to resonate with modern audiences while still delivering the charm that made the original a success.
The film has already received positive feedback from both critics and viewers. With a 74% critic rating and a 91% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes, it has earned the distinguished titles of “Certified Fresh” and “Verified Hot.” Critics emphasize that the film successfully captures the spirit of the original while offering a fresh perspective on contemporary parenting and teenage life.
After its theatrical release in August, the film reportedly recouped its production budget of $42 million during its opening weekend. It went on to accumulate a worldwide total of $153 million, confirming its appeal to audiences and sparking conversations about a potential third installment.
While nothing is currently confirmed regarding a sequel, director Jesse Ganatra hinted at the possibility of a third film titled “Freakiest Friday.” He expressed enthusiasm for exploring even more elaborate body-swapping scenarios, suggesting a potential six-way swap that could include various cast members.
Fans of the franchise can look forward to the streaming premiere of this nostalgic yet modern take on a classic story, set to join the existing library of both the 1976 and 2003 versions available on Disney+. As excitement builds, audiences are eager to see how this latest iteration will deepen the legacy of “Freaky Friday.”
