Lindsay Lohan Confirms A Freaky Friday Sequel Is On The Way

Lindsay Lohan just confirmed news that Freaky Friday fans have been waiting for: A sequel to the 2003 comedy is finally in the works.

The actor was asked about the possibility of second movie during a March 4 appearance on SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen Live, and revealed that “it’s happening.” While she withheld specific details about the project, Lohan teased that she and co-star Jamie Lee Curtis were “excited” about it.

In a recent interview with People, Lohan also said that a new film was “in the process” of being made, adding that she was “excited to work with Jamie again and see how much further we can take it.” She continued, “We talk almost every other day in general, so I think we’re going to have a lot of fun with this.”

In case you need a refresher: Based on Mary Rodgers’ 1972 same-named novel, 2003’s Freaky Friday stars Curtis and Lohan as mother-and-daughter duo Anna and Tess, whose bodies are switched by a Chinese fortune cookie.

This isn’t the first time Lohan has broached the topic of a sequel. During a 2022 appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, she revealed that Curtis had previously spoken of the possibility.

“I was on set filming at the time, and Jamie Lee Curtis writes… and you just get excited and distracted immediately,” she recalled. “So, I had to bring myself down to Earth and be like, ‘I’m on set, I have to focus.’ Then she said Freaky Friday 2, and I got more excited.” And during a joint interview with the New York Times in 2023, the co-stars said they were “both open” to a sequel. “We would only make something that people would absolutely adore,” Lohan said.

While details surrounding the film’s full cast and plot remain under wraps, Variety reported in May 2023 that screenwriter Elyse Hollander was on board to pen the script.
