Lindsay Lohan is back in the spotlight, starring in the 2025 sequel of Disney's beloved 2003 hit "Freaky Friday," titled "Freakier Friday." This time around, Lohan reprises her role as Anna Coleman, a character who has evolved into a single mother over the years.

The film, directed by Nisha Ganatra, also features Manny Jacinto as Eric, a character Anna falls for, and Chad Michael Murray returns as Jake, Anna's teenage crush from the original movie. The production budget for "Freakier Friday" stands at $26 million.
Lohan, who wanted to depict a version of Anna that feels real and relatable, admitted to having some nerves about the release of "Freakier Friday," but is happy if her work brings joy to people. The shoot for the film was described by Chad Michael Murray as a lovefest.
"Freakier Friday" is a multigenerational twist on the classic story, blending humor, pacing, and nostalgia while successfully reuniting the original leads. The film begins its global theatrical rollout tomorrow, marking Lindsay Lohan's return to the screen and to the character of Anna, who has matured alongside her.
