Who’s Returning for the Freakier Friday Sequel?

The core mother-daughter duo is back. Lindsay Lohan reprises her role as Anna Coleman, now navigating motherhood herself after her breakout teen performance launched hits like Mean Girls. Following recent Netflix projects, Lohan returns as an adult Anna grappling with blended family challenges. Oscar and Emmy winner Jamie Lee Curtis returns as psychiatrist Tess Coleman, now a grandmother. Curtis, riding high on acclaimed roles in Everything Everywhere All at Once and The Bear, brings her signature comedic depth back to Tess.

Original heartthrob Chad Michael Murray returns as Jake, Anna’s former love interest. Murray, known for One Tree Hill and recent Netflix films, adds charm to the ensemble. Supporting stars are also reuniting:

• Haley Hudson and Christina Vidal return as Anna’s best friends Peg and Maddie. Hudson’s credits include Weeds, while Vidal starred in Training Day and Primo.

Sophia Hammons (The Summer I Turned Pretty) stars as Lily Davies, Anna’s soon-to-be stepdaughter. Rounding out the new family unit is Manny Jacinto (The Good Place, Top Gun: Maverick) as Eric Davies, Anna’s fiancé.
