Disney fans, rejoice—Freakier Friday (2025) is officially shaping up to be the feel-good, laugh-out-loud event of the summer. The second trailer for the much-anticipated sequel to the 2003 hit doesn’t just reunite Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan—it expands the chaos with a new generation, promising a wild blend of slapstick comedy, heartfelt drama, and magical mishaps.
The trailer kicks off with Anna Coleman (Lohan) preparing for her wedding to Eric (Manny Jacinto), but family life is already far from simple. Anna is juggling her own daughter and her soon-to-be stepdaughter, Lily (Julia Butters), both caught in a tug-of-war for her attention. In one standout scene, Anna’s daughter delivers sarcastic wedding vows that hilariously refer to Lily as “a little demon thing with an obnoxious accent.”
Enter the magical twist: at Anna’s bachelorette party, a fortune teller (Vanessa Bayer) warns, “Change the hearts you know are wrong to reach the place where you belong.” Before anyone can say déjà vu, another body swap strikes—not just between Anna and her mother Tess (Curtis), but between the next generation too. Now, four family members are living each other’s lives, setting the stage for a domino effect of comic disasters and tender revelations.
Classic Callbacks, Fresh Faces
The trailer packs in nostalgic callbacks for longtime fans—yes, that Jake (Chad Michael Murray) returns—and physical comedy galore. From bathroom blunders to wedding sabotage schemes, it’s clear that Freakier Friday isn’t holding back on the chaos. Lily (in Tess’s body) even plots to derail the wedding by reigniting Anna’s old flame.
Supporting roles from returning characters like Mark Harmon, Christina Vidal Mitchell, Lucille Soong, and Rosalind Chao deepen the nostalgia. At the same time, new cast members including Manny Jacinto, Sophia Hammons, and Maitreyi Ramakrishnan add a vibrant, modern dynamic.
While the laughs are front and center, this sequel also taps into more grounded themes: blended families, generational misunderstanding, and the struggle to connect across age gaps. All of it is underscored by a high-energy soundtrack featuring Chappell Roan’s “HOT TO GO!”, setting the tone for this high-spirited adventure.
Directed by Nisha Ganatra, Freakier Friday premieres on August 8, 2025, and looks set to capture the heart, humor, and mayhem that made the original a classic—while bringing something new for the next generation.
Whether you’re in it for the nostalgia or the new twists, this magical mess of a movie proves one thing: in families, things can always get a little freakier.
