More than 20 years later, and Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan are switching places…again.

The iconic duo reprise their respective roles for “Freakier Friday,” the sequel to the beloved 2003 film “Freaky Friday.” Curtis and Lohan are a mother and daughter whose dynamic has shifted since Lohan’s character is now a mom herself to a teen (Julia Butters). Mark Harmon and Chad Michael Murray are both back for the sequel, along with new cast members Butters, Manny Jacinto, Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, and Sophia Hammons. Christina Vidal Mitchell, Haley Hudson, Lucille Soong, Stephen Tobolowsky, and Rosalind Chao also star.

“Late Night” director Nisha Ganatra is helming the film.

Curtis previously confirmed that “Freakier Friday” was getting a theatrical release from Disney.

“Yes, you heard me…The theaters,” Curtis wrote on Instagram in 2024 when speaking about leaked pics from production. “The place we all go and enjoy a shared experience in the dark while munching popcorn and candy and laughing together and sometimes crying together. Until then.”

Curtis added at the time, “Because other outlets have posted it, I am going to take advantage of the intrusion of a paparazzi picture into the creative process of filmmaking. We have tried so hard to keep our story a secret and private until it’s time for release but once in a while an image comes out, and it doesn’t tell you anything about the story or about what’s going on with the characters but it does show the joy and fun that we had making ‘Freakier Friday’ and we know it will be the experience that you will have in the theaters next year [in 2025].”

Curtis also shared in 2022 that she envisioned the storyline following three generations. “Let me be the grandma! Let me be the old grandma who switches places,” Curtis said. “So then Lindsay gets to be the sexy grandma, who is still happy with Mark Harmon in all the ways you would be happy with Mark Harmon. And simply, I would like to see Lindsay be the hot grandma, and I would like to see me try to deal with toddlers today. I wanna be a helicopter parent in today’s world, as an old lady.”

“Freakier Friday” premieres August 8. Check out the teaser trailer below.
