The next Freaky Friday movie will feature a four-way body swap between family members, the trailer has revealed.

Oscar winner Jamie Lee Curtis and Mean Girls star Lindsay Lohan are returning as mother and daughter characters for Freakier Friday, set decades after the previous movie.

The sequel sees Anna’s daughter, Harper (Julia Butters), and soon to be stepdaughter, Lily Davies (Sophia Hammons), along with mother and daughter all wake up in each other’s bodies.

In the trailer, Tess and Anna are told they “learned a lesson, a lesson that might serve you again”, swapping each others’ bodies, by a fortune teller, played by Saturday Night Live (SNL) star Vanessa Bayer.

It then appears to show the four female characters waking up to discover that Anna and Harper have swapped places, along with Lily and Tess.

A teaser montage is then shown of them acting as each other at concerts, playing sports, when Anna’s former love interest Jake (Chad Michael Murray) shows up on a motorcycle and coming out with a plan to switch back.

One Tree Hill’s Murray and NCIS actor Mark Harmon are reprising their roles in the sequel, while The Good Place and The Acolyte star Manny Jacinto has joined the cast as Lily’s father Eric Davies.

It is one of the many movies including Herbie Fully Loaded and Confessions Of A Teenage Drama Queen that turned 38-year-old Lohan into a household name, before she took a partial step back following years of tabloid attention.

Her return to the screen has included a rom-com deal with Netflix which featured 2022’s Falling For Christmas, this year’s Irish Wish and festive film – Our Little Secret.

Lohan, a child star, rose to fame in a 1998 remake of The Parent Trap, in which she played estranged twin sisters.

Curtis, who won a best supporting Academy Award for science fiction film Everything Everywhere All At Once, is also known for slasher film Halloween and its sequels, along with drama My Girl, and True Lies.

Freakier Friday will be released on August 8, Disney said.
