Updated, June 6: The body swap shenanigans will continue at a whole new level in Freakier Friday, previewed in the film’s newest trailer.
Lindsey Lohan’s Anna Coleman has many wedding preparations to undergo, and her mom Tess (Jamie Lee Curtis) is there to help. Unfortunately, Anna’s daughter (Julia Butters) and Anna’s husband-to-be Eric’s (Manny Jacinto) daughter do not get along, as evidenced in Anna’s daughter writing her mock vows and calling Lily Davies “a little demon thing with an obnoxious accent.”
Flash forward from a fortune teller (Vanessa Bayer) incident on Anna’s bachelorette where Bayer assesses that Butters’ and Sophia Hammons’ step sisters to be “are called to be family” and tells Anna and Tess that they may learn another lesson from “walking in each other’s paths,” the lightning that does strike them twice puts them all in a quartet body swap situation.
“Change the hearts you know are wrong,” Bayer’s voice says. “To reach the place where you belong.”
Chaos ensues as the four realize that Anna and her daughter have swapped bodies while Tess, aka grandma, and Lily have swapped bodies.

Lily as Jamie Lee Curtis says “we can break our parents up for good,” and the original duo set out to do just that and “reunite her (Anna) with her first love” who is Chad Michael Murray’s Jake.
Previous, March 14: They’re back. Twenty-two years after the premiere of Freaky Friday, Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan have reunited as mother-daughter, reprising their roles as Tess and Anna Coleman, respectively, in the sequel Freakier Friday.
The story picks up years after Tess (Curtis) and Anna (Lohan) endured an identity crisis. Anna now has a daughter of her own and a soon-to-be stepdaughter. As they navigate the myriad challenges that come when two families merge, Tess and Anna discover that lightning might indeed strike twice.

Check out the first trailer below.
In it, a fortune teller (Vanessa Bayer) reads Tess and Anna’s palms and marvels at the fact that their life lines have intertwined in the past, while the mother-daughter duo tries to downplay that incident. She warns them that the lesson they learned might come into play once more.
Set to Chappel Roan’s “HOT TO GO!” the ground shakes and Tess and Anna find themselves going through a chaotic body swap all over again, but this time with two more people involved. And of course Chad Michael Murray, returning to reprise his role of Jake, rolls up on a motor cycle in the end of the clip to make a “grand, sexy entrance.” No sign of Manny Jacinto, who will play Lindsay Lohan’s character’s husband, or Never Have I Ever breakout Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, but eagle-eyed fans have spotted Elaine Hendrix, one of Lohan’s costars from The Parent Trap (1998) in a brief scene.
