In the much-anticipated sequel to the classic comedy Freaky Friday, Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis return to the big screen, this time as executive producers, marking a first for Lohan and a return to producing for Curtis. The film, titled Freakier Friday, explores a new generation of the Coleman family as the body swap phenomenon strikes once again.
This time, the teenage daughters, Harper and Lily, find themselves in the older bodies of Anna and Tess, the mother and daughter from the original film. The physical effects of age, such as knee cracking and difficulty standing, present a unique challenge for the younger characters. Conversely, Anna and Tess navigate the typical teenage challenges in the bodies of Harper and Lily.
The body swap occurs through another mystical "freaky Friday" event, continuing the franchise's theme of empathy and understanding across generations. The swapped characters must deal with the social and physical challenges of inhabiting bodies from a different generation, leading to a series of humorous and heartwarming situations.
The plot of Freakier Friday blends comedy, family dynamics, and fantasy, showcasing how each character gains a new appreciation for the others' struggles and roles within their family.

Curtis agrees, stating that the film's themes include compassion, understanding, conflict, and conflict resolution. She believes that Freakier Friday is funnier and more moving than the original, making it "freakier."
