‘Freakier Friday’ Trailer Reveals Confusing Body-Swap Twist

They’re just letting anybody switch bodies now.

Freaky Friday is back, and it’s freakier than ever.

Today is Friday, so naturally, Disney decided to drop the first official trailer to Freakier Friday, the sequel to the 2003 comedy about a single mother Tess (Jamie Lee Curtis) and her teenage daughter Ana (Lindsay Lohan), who swap bodies after receiving a mysterious fortune at a Chinese restaurant. This leads to a series of hilarious and heartwarming situations as they begin to see the world from the other’s point of view.

Freakier Friday picks up years after Tess and Ana first switched bodies. This time, Ana is a mother with a daughter and a soon-to-be stepdaughter. With the help of Tess, Ana tries to navigate the challenges that come with merging families, only to find out that a little body-swapping help might be the best solution to her family’s woes.

“My face looks like a Birkin bag left out in the sun to rot,” Tess yells in the trailer.

Along with Curtis and Lohan, the film sees the return of Rosalind Chao, Mark Harmon, Haley Hudson, Christina Vidal Mitchell, Chad Michael Murray, Lucille Soong, and Stephen Tobolowsky.

Lohan broke the news about the trailer on X this afternoon, uploading a poster of the film along with the caption: “We are so back. Freakier Friday is only in theaters August 8.”

And fans of the original were freaking out (pun intended).

“We have never been more back!!!!” one thrilled fan.

“FINALLLLLYYY 😭😭😭😭,” another commented.

Looks like the only thing freakier than body swapping is the 4-month wait for the film’s release.
