Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan are back together.
Curtis, 65, and Lohan, 37, have begun filming a sequel to "Freaky Friday" that's more than 20 years in the making, The Walt Disney Company revealed June 24 in a press release.
The two actors are reprising their roles as Tess and Anna Coleman, a mother-daughter duo who switched bodies in the 2003 comedy, which was a remake of a 1976 Disney classic starring Barbara Harris and a teen Jodie Foster.
Walt Disney Studios shared an image on X showing Curtis and Lohan holding hands on the movie's set. In the pic, the pair sit outside their trailers as Curtis holds up her hand in a "rock on" gesture and playfully sticks out her tongue.
“The Colemans are back and coming to theaters in 2025! The sequel to Freaky Friday is now in production!” the studio captioned the shot.
Disney also shared a behind-the-scenes video showing Curtis and Lohan hamming it up together while posing for photographers.
"The band’s back together," the studio wrote, seemingly referring to Anna's teen rock band, Pink Slip, in the 2003 movie. It added the "rock on" hand emoji.
Curtis shared the image of her and Lohan on her Instagram account, writing, "WE ARE FREAKING OUT because the Coleman’s are getting FREAKY AGAIN!"
The new movie, which will be directed Nisha Ganatra and is scheduled for a 2025 release, picks up many years after Tess and Anna woke up in one another's bodies before eventually switching back.
"Anna now has a daughter of her own and a soon-to-be stepdaughter. As they navigate the myriad challenges that come when two families merge, Tess and Anna discover that lightning might indeed strike twice," Disney explained in its release.
Curtis and Lohan will be joined by several other returning cast members from the film, including Mark Harmon, Chad Michael Murray, Christina Vidal Mitchell, Haley Hudson, Lucille Soong, Stephen Tobolowsky and Rosalind Chao.
They'll be joined by new co-stars Julia Butters, Sophia Hammons, Manny Jacinto and Maitreyi Ramakrishnan.
Lohan confirmed a “Freaky Friday” sequel was in the works during a March 2024 appearance on "Andy Cohen Live."
When asked whether she could give a timeline on when the movie will be available, Lohan said she couldn’t reveal those details.
“I won’t say that yet,” she said. “I don’t want to say too much.”
“OK, but you feel like this is going to happen?” Cohen asked.
“Yeah,” Lohan said. “And we’re both excited.”
In November 2022, rumors started swirling that production might happen on a "Freaky Friday" sequel.
While speaking with TODAY.com, Curtis said there was “definitely some chatting” about bringing back the family film.
“‘Freaky Friday’ was so great, it has so much nostalgia to it,” she told TODAY.com at the Los Angeles premiere of “Glass Onion."
“Young people love it, the people that grew up with it now are moms, they’re showing it to their kids," she explained. “The music, Lindsay (Lohan) — it’s just a great movie and it makes kind of a little bit of sense that we would do it again."
Riding off the success of “Freaky Friday,” Disney Channel decided to do a musical adaptation of the film that’s based on the 1972 book of the same name by Mary Rodgers in 2018. Then, in 2020, Vince Vaughn starred in the comedic horror film “Freaky,” which was also inspired by the book.
However, that film was much darker and centered on a serial killer (Vaughn) who traded places with a high school cheerleader (Kathryn Newton).
Now as a mom, Lohan looks at "Freaky Friday" in a different way. In an interview with The New York Times, she said that movie taught her that parenting is all about "patience."
"You want to let them explore and live the way they need to live — with boundaries," she said. "I’m not there. I’m getting there. In a year, come back to me and ask me what it’s like. And then in 16 years."
