Disney has just unveiled the digital and home video release dates for "Freakier Friday," the sequel to 2003's “Freaky Friday”, starring Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis.
The follow-up will hit video-on-demand platforms like Prime Video, Apple TV and Fandango at Home on October 7. It will be available to buy on Blu-ray, 4K, and DVD on November 11.
Released in theaters on August 8, the sequel features a “multigenerational twist,” with the pic picking up many years after Tess and Anna originally swapped bodies. Anna has a daughter of her own, plus a soon-to-be stepdaughter. Tess and Anna navigate the challenges that come with merging two families and “discover that lightning might indeed strike twice.”
Joining Curtis and Lohan are returning stars Chad Michael Murray, Mark Harmon, Christina Vidal Mitchell, Haley Hudson, Lucille Soong, Stephen Tobolowsky and Rosalind Chao.
“The Acolyte” star Manny Jacinto, “Never Have I Ever” breakout Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, Sophia Hammons and Julia Butters have joined the sequel.
The original movie, based on Mary Rodgers’ 1972 novel of the same name, follows Tess and Anna, a mother-daughter pair. Tess, a widowed mother, is prepping for a big wedding while musician Anna gears up for a gig that could make or break her band. When the two receive a mystical fortune cookie that causes them to swap bodies, they’re forced to accept each other unconditionally.
Disney officially announced in March 2024 that the sequel was moving forward, with Ganatra directing.
The filmmaker and screenwriter has helmed episodes of Hulu’s “Welcome to Chippendales” and Max’s “And Just Like That…” and directed feature films “The High Note,” starring Dakota Johnson and Tracee Ellis Ross, and “Late Night,” starring Mindy Kaling and Emma Thompson.
Andrew Gunn, who produced the first movie, is producing the sequel alongside former Disney exec Kristin Burr, with a script from “Dollface” creator Jordan Weiss.
