'Fantastic news!': Internet excited as Lindsay Lohan confirms 'Freaky Friday' sequel with Jamie Lee Curtis after 2 decades

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis are reuniting for a sequel of the 2003 film 'Freaky Friday,' two decades after the actresses played mother and daughter in the fantasy comedy film.

The 37-year-old actress officially confirmed the sequel of the classic body-swap family comedy on Monday, March 4, during her appearance on SiriusXM's 'Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen.'

Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis are 'excited' for 'Freaky Friday' sequel

During the chat with Andy Cohen, the host asked Lohan about rumors of a sequel.

"It is. I don't want to say too much," she said of the sequel being in the works. "And we're both excited," Lohan continued, referring to her co-star Curtis.

"I'm gonna speak for Jamie," she added, according to ET.

Jamie Lee Curtis suggested the 'Freaky Friday' sequel following fan requests 

Curtis and Lohan previously hinted at the possibility of working together in the future during an interview with The New York Times.

While commemorating the 20th anniversary of 'Freaky Friday,' Curtis recalled, "As I went around the world with Halloween Ends, people wanted to know if there was going to be another 'Freaky Friday'. Something really touched a chord."

"When I came back, I called my friends at Disney and said, 'It feels like there’s a movie to be made,'" she continued.

Lohan added, "Jamie and I are both open to that. So we're leaving it in the hands that be."

Lohan, who welcomed her first child with her husband, Bader Shammas, in July 2023, reflected on what they learned from the 2003 film about parenting.

 "To have more patience... You want to let them explore and live the way they need to live -- with boundaries," stated the actress.

Meanwhile, Curtis said the film taught her to "suspend the judgment, open the ear, listen more."

"Also, as a parent, we’re sizing up all the time: shoes, clothes, foods. It’s all future thought. My lesson from Freaky Friday was to be where your feet are," added the mother of two children.

Internet 'can't wait' for 'Freaky Friday' sequel

Following Lohan's confirmation of a sequel of 'Freaky Friday' being in the works with Curtis, fans of the fantasy comedy expressed their excitement for the project.

"Wow! Can't wait. Should be another epic," a user wrote on X (formerly Twitter) while another user wrote, "This is fantastic news! Looking forward to seeing what Lindsay Lohan brings to the sequel."

"Now this I believe can be very good even tho it’s the 2nd one," a user remarked and a fan tweeted, "I am legit excited for this one. I really enjoyed the movie when it came out, and I do think that Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan have great chemistry. I really hope that Mark Waters comes back to direct, he also did MEAN GIRLS, so the dude knows how to make a good solid comedy."
