“Freakier Friday” is coming in hotter than a flat iron in 2003—and yes, Jake is back, baby! Chad Michael Murray has officially re-entered the chat, and yes, he’s still rocking that “I-write-poetry-on-my-drumset” energy.
🎬 TRAILER TEA: WHAT IN THE BODY-SWAP MULTIVERSE IS GOING ON?
So here’s the sitch: Anna (yes, still our queen Lindsay Lohan, older, wiser, and engaged, y’all) is about to marry hunky human golden retriever Eric Davies (played by certified snack Manny Jacinto, known for being too hot for both Heaven and Earth).
BUT—plot twist! A chaotic cosmic mix-up worthy of the Disney gods throws everything into shambles:
Anna and her mom Tess (played by the forever chaotic good Jamie Lee Curtis) do the iconic body swap again…
But wait—this time, they ALSO swap with the next generation: Anna’s daughter Harper (Julia Butters, tiny but dangerous) and Eric’s daughter Lily (Sophia Hammons, equally ready to stir the pot).
That’s four body swaps. Four people. One enormous mess. Math is not mathing and that’s why we love it.
👧👧 GEN ALPHA GIRLIES, ASSEMBLE!
Harper and Lily are not here for this wedding. No, ma’am. These 13-going-on-scheming besties decide the best way to stop their parents from marrying is… by resurrecting Anna’s first love. You guessed it: Jake.
Yes, THE Jake, the motorcycle-riding softboy who made flip phones sexy. Chad Michael “One Tree Hill Dreamboat” Murray is back and more confused than ever. The man walked into this sequel and said, “I thought we broke up in 2003… why am I in this movie?”
But don’t ask questions, just feel the nostalgia.
💫 CAMEOS & CHAOS
Also crashing this millennial fever dream:
- Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, possibly playing a sassy barista with wisdom beyond her years.
- Rosalind Chao, who probably knows how to reverse this curse but refuses to help until someone makes her a proper latte.
- Vanessa Bayer, serving unhinged comedic energy as someone’s therapist, wedding planner, or medium (possibly all three).
- Mark Harmon, who has been quietly collecting Disney paychecks since the Clinton administration.
🎉 THE VIBES:
Think: “Parent Trap” on edibles meets “Euphoria” but rated PG.
There’s body-swapping, ex-tracking, wedding-wrecking, and probably a lot of screaming in mirrors.
There’s drama. There’s trauma. There’s Jake, still brooding like it’s prom night in a 2004 CW pilot.
🎟️ FREAKIER FRIDAY drops in theaters August 8, just in time for Leo season. Grab your BFF, wear matching butterfly clips, and prepare to emotionally unravel with three generations of chaos queens.
Watch the trailer below. It’s freaky. It’s feral. It’s fabulous.
