Lindsay Lohan is excited about reuniting with Jamie Lee Curtis for the long-awaited sequel to Freaky Friday. The 37-year-old actress shared with PEOPLE that the new movie is currently in progress, although details such as the filming schedule and the status of the script remain undisclosed. Lohan expressed her enthusiasm for working with Curtis again, stating, "I'm just excited to work with Jamie again and see how much further we can take it."
During an appearance on SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen Live, Lohan confirmed that the Freaky Friday sequel is indeed happening, emphasizing her excitement for the project alongside Curtis, 65. The pair, who have maintained a close friendship over the years, are looking forward to bringing new energy to the beloved franchise.
Freaky Friday celebrated its 20th anniversary last year, sparking renewed interest in a sequel. Curtis had hinted at the possibility in various interviews, and in a joint interview with the New York Times, she and Lohan reflected on the impact of the original film and their willingness to create a sequel that resonates with audiences.
Variety reported in May 2023 that Elyse Hollander was writing the script for the sequel, adding to the anticipation surrounding the project. Freaky Friday, based on the 1972 novel by Mary Rodgers, has seen multiple adaptations, with the Lohan-Curtis version being the most commercially successful, grossing $160 million at the box office during its 2003 release.
Lohan’s upcoming movie, Irish Wish, is scheduled to premiere on Netflix on March 15. This marks her second collaboration with the streaming platform following the 2022 film Falling for Christmas. With the Freaky Friday sequel on the horizon, fans of the original film can look forward to seeing Lohan and Curtis back on screen together in what promises to be an exciting continuation of the beloved story.
