Freakier Friday: release date, plot, cast, trailer and everything we know
Freakier Friday is the long-awaited sequel to 2003 movie, Freaky Friday.

Freakier Friday is the movie sequel we have all been waiting for, as mother and daughter duo Jamie Lee Curtis (Tess) and Lindsay Lohan (Anna) are reunited for more body-swapping shenanigans.
The long-awaited follow-up to the 2003 hit movie Freaky Friday will once again see Tess and Anna swapping bodies after a palm reader predicts history is about to repeat itself. But, this time, there are two more characters caught up in the drama when Anna's daughter, Harper, and Anna's soon-to-be step-daughter, Lily, also find themselves living someone else's life.
