The long-awaited sequel to the 2003 hit Freaky Friday, officially titled Freakier Friday, is finally here, and the full cast list is a perfect blend of nostalgic favorites and exciting new talent. As of December 19, 2025, the buzz around the film is electric, with initial reactions praising the sequel for delivering the same hilarity and heartfelt emotion that made the original a beloved classic. The core premise remains—a body-switching mishap—but this time, the cosmic chaos extends beyond Tess and Anna Coleman, bringing a whole new generation into the mix and setting the stage for an even "freakier" adventure. This comprehensive guide breaks down every confirmed actor, their character, and the new family dynamics at the heart of the story.

The Disney sequel not only reunites the iconic duo of Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan but also sees the return of several key supporting players from the 2003 film, cementing this as a true continuation of the Coleman family saga. With new actors stepping into crucial roles as Anna's daughter and soon-to-be stepdaughter, the film promises fresh, multi-generational body-swap humor.

The Returning Icons: Original 'Freaky Friday' Cast Profiles

The heart of Freakier Friday lies in the return of the stars who made the original film a cultural touchstone. Their reprisal of these roles, two decades later, is a major draw for fans.

  • Jamie Lee Curtis as Tess Coleman: The Oscar-winning actress returns as the straight-laced, overworked mother, Dr. Tess Coleman. Her career has flourished since the original, with roles in the Halloween franchise and her Oscar-winning performance in Everything Everywhere All at Once. In Freakier Friday, she is now a grandmother figure navigating a new family dynamic, only to find herself trapped in another body-swap scenario.
  • Lindsay Lohan as Anna Coleman: Lohan reprises her role as Anna Coleman, who is now an adult, a mother, and preparing for her second marriage. Her return to this iconic Disney role marks a significant moment in her career comeback, following her recent holiday films. Anna's journey from rebellious teenager to a mother with her own teen daughter provides a rich new layer for the body-swap comedy.
  • Mark Harmon as Ryan: Harmon returns as Tess’s fiancé, Ryan. His character was the calm, grounding presence in the original film. Harmon is best known for his long-running lead role on the hit series NCIS.
  • Chad Michael Murray as Jake: Murray is back as the lovable, guitar-playing crush, Jake. Fans are eager to see what Jake is up to two decades later and how his story intersects with Anna’s new life. Murray has since starred in popular shows like One Tree Hill.
  • Rosalind Chao as Pei-Pei: Chao returns as the owner of the Chinese restaurant where the magical fortune cookie incident originally took place. Her character is pivotal to the mystical element of the body-swap.
  • Lucille Soong as Pei-Pei's Mother: Soong also reprises her role, reinforcing the connection to the source of the magical chaos.
  • Christina Vidal Mitchell as Maddie: Anna's bandmate, Maddie, returns. Her character provided much of the rock-and-roll energy in the original film.
  • Haley Hudson as Peg: The other bandmate, Peg, is also confirmed to be returning, completing the trio of Anna's best friends.

The New Generation and Key Additions to the 'Freakier Friday' Family

The "Freakier" element of the sequel is largely driven by the introduction of a new generation of teenagers who get caught up in the body-switching chaos. The plot centers on Anna and her daughter, Harper, along with Anna's soon-to-be stepdaughter, Lily, facing the same cosmic mishap, but with an added layer of complexity.

  • Julia Butters as Harper Coleman: Butters, a rising star known for her breakout role in Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, plays Harper Coleman, Anna’s daughter. Harper is described as a rebellious teenager, mirroring Anna's personality from the first film. The new body-swap involves Harper, adding a mother-daughter-grandma dynamic to the switch.
  • Sophia Hammons as Lily Davies: Hammons plays Lily Davies, who is Anna's soon-to-be stepdaughter. Her character adds tension to the new family unit, as she and Harper reportedly do not get along. Lily’s involvement in the body-swap is a central plot point, as she and Harper secretly plot to break up Anna and her fiancé, Eric.
  • Manny Jacinto as Eric: Jacinto, who gained fame for his role in The Good Place, joins the cast as Eric, Anna’s fiancé and Lily’s father. His character is the new adult figure trying to navigate the blended family challenges, all while an unseen body-swap disaster unfolds around him.

The Plot Twist: What Makes This Sequel 'Freakier'?

While the original Freaky Friday focused solely on the mother-daughter switch between Tess and Anna, Freakier Friday expands the scope of the identity crisis. The core narrative picks up years after the first film, with Anna (Lohan) now an adult preparing for her wedding to Eric (Jacinto).

The "freakier" element comes from the multi-generational switch. During a family gathering, a cosmic mishap causes multiple body swaps. The new plot features Anna and Tess trying to regain their own bodies, but the situation is complicated by the involvement of the two teenage girls, Harper and Lily. This suggests a potential four-way body-swap or a more complex series of switches, forcing the entire family to literally walk a mile in each other’s shoes.

The film explores the challenges of a blended family, with Anna and Eric trying to unite their children, Harper and Lily, who are actively trying to sabotage the wedding. This teenage rebellion, combined with the magical chaos, creates a hilarious and emotionally resonant story about empathy and family understanding. The critics' first reactions highlight that the film successfully delivers on the promise of "hilarity and emotion," proving the chemistry between Curtis and Lohan is as electric as ever, even with the new additions.

With 12 original stars reprising their roles and 8 new actors joining the cast, Freakier Friday has built a massive ensemble to deliver its ambitious, multi-layered body-swap story. The film is set to be a major theatrical event, appealing to both long-time fans of the 2003 classic and a new generation of moviegoers. The return of the entire original band, the iconic Pei-Pei, and the introduction of the new Coleman-Davies family unit ensures that the sequel is a comprehensive, fresh, and truly "freakier" adventure.
