What happens

Freakier Friday is a 2025 American fantasy comedy film directed by Nisha Ganatra and written by Jordan Weiss. Produced by Walt Disney Pictures, it is the sequel to Freaky Friday (2003) and is the fifth film in the Freaky Friday franchise. It stars Jamie Lee Curtis, Lindsay Lohan, Julia Butters, Sophia Hammons, Manny Jacinto, and Mark Harmon. In the film, Tess Coleman (Curtis) swaps bodies with her would-be step-granddaughter Lily (Hammons), while Anna Coleman (Lohan) swaps bodies with her daughter Harper (Butters). The film was announced in 2023. Curtis and Lohan reprised their lead roles from the 2003 film, and were heavily involved in the production. The film includes numerous references to its predecessor as well as other comedies such as Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986). Filming took place in Los Angeles in summer 2024. While Disney initially planned a direct-to-streaming release, the film was upgraded to a theatrical release at Curtis and Lohan's request. Freakier Friday premiered at the El Capitan Theatre in Los Angeles on July 22, 2025, and was released theatrically by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures on August 8. The film received generally positive reviews from critics and grossed $153 million against a budget of $45 million. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
