Okay people get excited! Remember how much we all loved Freaky Friday back in the day? Well guess what? Disney just dropped the trailer for the sequel Freakier Friday and it looks seriously amazing! If you were a fan of the original movie prepare to have your nostalgia button pushed big time. Let's break down everything we know from this awesome first look .
Body Swapping is Back But This Time It's a FOUR-WAY Freaky Mess!
Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan are back as Tess and Anna Coleman the iconic mother-daughter duo. It's been over two decades since the first movie where those crazy fortune cookies made them switch bodies. And guess what? It's happening AGAIN!
But Freakier Friday is upping the ante. This time it is not just a two-way swap. Oh no it is a FOUR-WAY body switch-a-roo! Anna is all grown up now and has a daughter Harper played by Julia Butters. She also has a soon-to-be stepdaughter Lily played by Sophia Hammons. And yep you guessed it all four of them end up swapping bodies. Chaos is guaranteed.
The trailer starts with a fortune teller hinting that Tess and Anna have been through this before. Then BAM earthquake feeling and Anna wakes up in her daughter's body freaking out! But then they realize it's not just them - the stepdaughter and grandma are swapped too! Lily in Tess’s body delivers an instant classic line saying her face looks like "a Birkin bag that’s been left out in the sun to rot!" Seriously hilarious.
Trailer Highlights: Nostalgia, Laughs and Chad Michael Murray's Epic Entrance!
Set to Chappell Roan's super catchy song “Hot To Go” the trailer is packed with funny moments. We see Tess Anna and the girls trying all sorts of things to switch back including attempting to recreate that iconic car crash from the original movie. Spoiler alert: it does not work.
And then... Chad Michael Murray! He rolls up on his motorcycle takes off his helmet and just like that we are transported right back to the early 2000s when he was everyone's teen heartthrob. His appearance is pure nostalgia fuel.
Fans online are already loving the trailer. People are saying it feels like classic Disney and are so excited to see Lindsay Lohan back in her Disney element. Comments are praising Disney for "respecting the original movie" and being genuinely funny. Some are even joking that it feels like "2007 again" which is exactly the vibe they are going for!
