The highly anticipated sequel, Freakier Friday, is arriving on Disney Plus on Wednesday, November 12th. This follow-up to the 2003 hit Freaky Friday reunites Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan, reprising their roles as the mother-daughter duo Tess and Anna Coleman.
What to Expect
The film expands on the original’s body-swapping premise, introducing new characters: Julia Butters as Anna’s daughter, Harper, and Sophia Hammons as her future stepdaughter, Lily. The plot centers around another chaotic switch, promising a bigger and sillier experience than the first movie.
Availability and Cost
Freakier Friday was released in theaters on August 8th and is currently available for digital rental at $20 on platforms like Amazon. However, Disney Plus subscribers will soon have access to the film without additional costs.
Why This Matters
The original Freaky Friday remains a beloved classic, tapping into universal themes of family dynamics and generational understanding. The sequel aims to recapture this magic while updating the concept for a modern audience. Its streaming release on Disney Plus will likely draw a large viewership, especially among fans of the original film and those interested in lighthearted, feel-good entertainment.
The film’s Wednesday release is notable, as it subverts expectations tied to the “Freaky Friday” title. This unconventional timing could be a deliberate marketing move to generate buzz, or simply a strategic decision for Disney Plus’s content rollout.
Freakier Friday will soon be available for streaming on Disney Plus, offering fans a convenient way to revisit the chaotic charm of this body-swapping comedy.
