Mark your calendars and buckle up—Freakier Friday is coming to Ster-Kinekor on 8 August 2025, and it’s flipping expectations (and bodies) all over again. That’s right—Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis are back in action, ready to relive the wild, hilarious, and heartwarming chaos that made Freaky Friday an all-time favourite.
22 years after Tess and Anna first walked a mile in each other’s shoes (literally), life has only gotten more complicated. Anna is now a mom herself, balancing parenting with a blended family. But just as things seem to settle—zap!—another body swap turns their world upside down. As two generations collide in a whirlwind of teenage drama, parental panic, and laugh-out-loud moments, the question becomes: can lightning really strike twice?
Spoiler: It can. And it does.
The original duo is back and better than ever—Lindsay Lohan steps into Anna’s sneakers again, while Jamie Lee Curtis shines as the ever-wise (but often flustered) Tess. And yes, Chad Michael Murray is also in the mix, bringing even more nostalgia to this modern-day comedy of errors.
It’s the reunion you didn’t know you needed, blending heart, humour, and that undeniable Freaky Friday spark.
Jamie Lee Curtis as Tess Coleman
The ever-stylish and sharply intelligent therapist-turned-author is back—and still trying to hold her blended family together with grace and grit. Curtis slips back into the role of Tess like no time has passed, anchoring the story with maternal warmth and comedic timing.
Lindsay Lohan as Anna Coleman
Now grown up and juggling motherhood, a new romance, and her career, Anna’s world is anything but calm. Lohan brings all the rebellious charm and newfound maturity as Anna steps into a whole new kind of identity crisis—with more people swapping bodies than ever before.
Mark Harmon as Ryan
Tess’ dependable husband and Anna’s grounded stepfather returns, offering wisdom (and confusion) in the face of all the magical mayhem. Harmon brings calm amidst the chaos once again.
Chad Michael Murray as Jake
Remember the dreamy motorcycle-riding musician from the first film? Jake’s back—older, wiser, and still catching Anna off guard. Chad Michael Murray’s return adds a perfect nostalgic spark for longtime fans.
Rosalind Chao as Pei-Pei
The mystical restaurant owner who once helped Tess and Anna swap bodies returns as a calming (and cryptic) guide. Is she the key to another big switch?
Lucille Soong as Pei-Pei’s Mom
The original instigator of the freaky switch still watches everything from the sidelines with sly amusement. Blink and you might miss her… or she might just hold all the answers.
Julia Butters as Harper Coleman
Anna’s teenage daughter is full of attitude, independence, and unexpected depth. Butters brings energy and heart to Harper, who’s about to experience more than just growing pains—especially when she suddenly finds herself in someone else’s shoes.
Sophia Hammons as Lily Davies
Harper’s soon-to-be stepsister, Lily is smart, spirited, and not thrilled about the family merger. Hammons plays her with equal parts wit and vulnerability, making her an essential part of this generational switcheroo.
Ryan Malgarini as Harry Coleman
Anna’s little brother Harry is all grown up—and now he’s an uncle! Malgarini’s return adds another thread of generational chaos (and a bit of comic relief) to the mix.
From unexpected musical numbers to “OMG” mix-ups, Freakier Friday is built for the big screen. You’ll laugh. You’ll cringe (in the best way). And you might even tear up a little—because behind all the wacky swaps and switched lives is a story about what really keeps families together.
