Freakier Friday reunites the duo as mother and daughter Tess and Anna Coleman, who swapped bodies in the original film and, in the sequel, discover that lightning may indeed strike twice. At Freakier Friday's L.A. premiere on Tuesday, Lohan told The Hollywood Reporter that the follow-up movie is "bigger, we have more stories to tell. It's a four-way swap and there's more music and there's a lot more physical comedy than the first one, which I love. Any moment that I can pull a Lucile Ball, I'm down for it."

That's kept us pretty tight-knit over time, and we've always just been in contact." Curtis added that in working with the 15-year-old Lohan in the first film, "I said to her from day one, 'I want nothing from you except your own peace and serenity. And I am safe, I'm a home base; I don't want anything, I'm not going to ask you to come to anything.'" She continued, "I don't want her to feel transactional with me, I want her to feel love."

Looking forward, the star said she's "doing a TV show with Hulu that I'm really excited about and I'd like to take on some more serious, dramatic roles. And I love doing romantic comedy because that's where my home is and I feel like where my fans want to see me, but I'd like to take on some things that are different; maybe find something that's an action-packed film. Just really show people a different side of me." Chad Michael Murray talks about what it was like reuniting with his old co-stars in #FreakierFriday 'A dream. You know I'll ride those girls' coattails anytime' pic.twitter.com/Vq6Ye91Uno- The Hollywood Reporter (@THR) July 23, 2025 Also returning for the sequel is love interest Chad Michael Murray, who joked of Curtis and Lohan, "I'll ride those girls' coattails anytime. I came in, and you never know what to expect, you're sitting there going, 'Oh God, let's not screw it up.' You're going to make a sequel and I hate to say it but it's as good, if not better - they delivered." Also at the premiere, the film's fictional band Pink Slip surprised guests with a special performance prior to the screening, and Lohan was joined on the carpet by her Parent Trap co-stars Lisa Ann Walter and Elaine Hendrix.
