According to Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan - Chad Michael Murray in 'Freaky Friday' too
Next to Lindsay Lohan (38) and Jamie Lee Curtis (65), another famous face returns for the filming of the sequel to the cult film "Freaky Friday". Actor Chad Michael Murray (42), who played the charming Jake, is on board for part two.
"Freaky Friday 2 comes to theaters in 2025"
"Jake is back, baby", says the announcement on the Instagram account of the actor and the official account of the production company Walt Disney Studios. "The sequel to Freaky Friday comes to theaters in 2025".
In the cult film from 2003, "Freaky Friday - A Totally Outrageous Friday", Tess Coleman's (Curtis) psychotherapist character swapped bodies with her teenage daughter Anna (Lohan) and vice versa after opening two fortune cookies. They learned to know each other better after a few days in each other's bodies and lives. Jake (Murray) was Anna's crush.
Production is in full swing
Hollywood star Jamie Lee Curtis spearheaded the production of the sequel. Last year, she wrote a letter to Walt Disney Pictures expressing her wish for a sequel to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the comedy. For this, Disney was also able to win over Lindsay Lohan. Disney announced the start of filming in mid-June with a photo of Curtis and Lohan in front of their trailers on set via Instagram.
Nisha Ganatra (50) is directing "Freaky Friday 2", who also directed the tragedy-comedy "Late Night" with Emma Thompson (65). Disney was able to win back Andrew Gunn (54) as producer. Murray has been married to actress Sarah Roemer (39) since 2015, whom he met during the filming of "Chosen". The couple has three children. International fame came to Murray in the 00s also through the leading role in the US series "One Tree Hill".
According to Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan, Chad Michael Murray will reprise his role as Jake in the upcoming film "Freaky Friday 2." On Instagram, both Murray and Walt Disney Studios announced the release of the sequel in 2025, promising fans an exciting continuation of the original film. The cult classic "Freaky Friday - A Completely Crazy Friday" saw Jamie Lee Curtis' character Tess Coleman and her teenage daughter Anna, played by Lindsay Lohan, switching bodies after opening two fortune cookies, leading to a series of comedic mishaps. With production now in full swing, fans are eagerly anticipating the return of their favorite characters.
