They're at it again. Twenty-two years after "Freaky Friday" became a cultural phenomenon, Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan are stepping back into the chaos as mother-daughter duo Tess and Anna Coleman in the highly anticipated sequel, "Freakier Friday."
The first trailer has arrived, and it's everything fans have been waiting for—nostalgia, comedy, and, yes, another body swap.
What's Freakier Friday About?
It's been years since Tess and Anna's last identity crisis, and life has changed a lot. Anna is now a mom herself, balancing life with her daughter and a soon-to-be stepdaughter. But fate has other plans just when she thinks she has adulthood figured out. Cue the lightning, the magic, and a brand-new round of switched lives that will put them through the wringer again.
As Tess and Anna navigate family drama, relationships, and the unpredictability of a blended household, they realize that the more things change, the more hilariously complicated they stay.
