Sophia Hammons (Up Here), Julia Butters (The Gray Man,The Fabelmans) and Maitreyi Ramakrishnan (Never Have I Ever) are new additions to the second film, and Manny Jacinto (The Good Place, The Acolyte) will also join in the role of grown-up Anna Coleman’s (Lohan) husband.

What is the plot of Freaky Friday 2?
The return to the world of Tess (Curtis) and Anna will involve a multigenerational twist. After experiencing a body swap with her single mother in the original film thanks to a magic fortune cookie, Anna now has her own daughter as well as a stepdaughter. The merging of two families provides ground for another instance of what happened in Freaky Friday (2003).
Curtis did confirm that one swap not happening would be that between Tess and Murray’s character Jake.

Freaky Friday is based on the same-name children’s book by Mary Rodgers, and a film adaptation was also made in 1976 starring Barbara Harris and Jodie Foster as mother and daughter.
