It&#8217;s truly unbelievable! Watching the new <em>Freakier Friday<\/em> trailer left me reeling, as the reality of &#8220;this is really happening&#8221; hit me like a ton of bricks. Lindsay Lohan&#8217;s character, Anna, is now a successful musician, and <a href=\"https:\/\/gizmodo.com\/jamie-lee-curtis-marvel-comments-apology-2000482849\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Jamie Lee Curtis<\/a> reprises her role as Tess, Anna&#8217;s therapist mom, in the sequel to a film that holds a special place in my heart, one that I share with my own mother.<\/p>\n<p>I used to belt out the songs by Pink Slip, Anna&#8217;s band, and upon rewatching the film recently, I was surprised to find that I still remember all the lyrics to &#8220;Take Me Away.&#8221; Seeing that the sequel&#8217;s body-swapping chaos unfolds at the band&#8217;s party &#8211; I immediately recognized the logo &#8211; only adds to my excitement to see how the story unfolds.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Freakier Friday | Teaser Trailer | In Theaters August 8\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/n7YJj6iO2QY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><noscript><iframe title=\"Freakier Friday | Teaser Trailer | In Theaters August 8\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/n7YJj6iO2QY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>This time around, the &#8220;freakier&#8221; aspect of <em>Freaky Friday<\/em> is that there are <em>four<\/em> characters involved: Anna and Tess, as well as Anna&#8217;s teenage daughter and soon-to-be stepdaughter, all switch bodies. The mother-daughter lesson from the first film is passed down to Anna and her teen, making me feel like time is flying by. It&#8217;s also a bit odd that Tess and the stepdaughter swap bodies, but I hope they pull it off convincingly, given that she&#8217;s a bit of an outsider. It makes sense that Anna and her daughter would switch, considering Anna was a rebellious teenager in the first film, according to Tess, who just didn&#8217;t understand her. This trope is timeless, and it&#8217;s something many of us can relate to. I still recall having the same Hot Topic fishnet sleeves, made from cut-up leggings, which I&#8217;d wear under a tee with a studded belt and loop bracelets, just like Lohan wore in the first movie. It&#8217;s astonishing to think that you can walk into a Hot Topic today and find all those same items, as fashion has come full circle.<\/p>\n<p>I hope we get to see Anna&#8217;s daughter mirror her mom&#8217;s teenage years, but it&#8217;s uncertain based on the trailer. While we don&#8217;t get much of the mother-daughter dynamic, it will be fascinating to see how their relationships evolve in this quadruple <em>Freaky Friday<\/em> scenario. The trailer opens with Anna and Tess being warned that their lifelines have intersected and that they may have to relearn the lesson from the first film. In a blink-and-you&#8217;ll-miss-it moment, the fortune cookie-giving mother from the Chinese restaurant in the first film appears next to the DJ, who could be her granddaughter, making us wonder if she&#8217;s behind the mystical mayhem once again. Having experienced generational lessons with my own mom, who loves to meddle in the lives of those she cares about, I&#8217;m excited to watch this with her.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2000576467\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2000576467\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-2000576467\" src=\"https:\/\/gizmodo.com\/app\/uploads\/2025\/03\/freakier-friday-grandmother-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Freakier Friday Grandmother\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gizmodo.com\/app\/uploads\/2025\/03\/freakier-friday-grandmother-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gizmodo.com\/app\/uploads\/2025\/03\/freakier-friday-grandmother-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gizmodo.com\/app\/uploads\/2025\/03\/freakier-friday-grandmother-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gizmodo.com\/app\/uploads\/2025\/03\/freakier-friday-grandmother-336x224.jpg 336w, https:\/\/gizmodo.com\/app\/uploads\/2025\/03\/freakier-friday-grandmother-1400x932.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/gizmodo.com\/app\/uploads\/2025\/03\/freakier-friday-grandmother-680x453.jpg 680w, https:\/\/gizmodo.com\/app\/uploads\/2025\/03\/freakier-friday-grandmother-896x597.jpg 896w, https:\/\/gizmodo.com\/app\/uploads\/2025\/03\/freakier-friday-grandmother.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1023px) calc(100vw - 2rem), (max-width: 1279px) calc(100vw - 26rem), 680px\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2000576467\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"> Disney<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>While the trailer has a more nostalgic tone, reintroducing familiar characters like the band, the mean professor, and Jake from high school (played by Chad Michael Murray, reprising his role), there&#8217;s not much known about the story. It&#8217;s also unclear if Jake is the father of Anna&#8217;s teenager, but we do know that Manny Jacinto is part of the cast and is rumored to play Anna&#8217;s current love interest. And, as a bonus, we get a glimpse of his impressive biceps, which makes this movie feel even more targeted towards millennial moms like myself. I&#8217;m still trying to wrap my head around the fact that I&#8217;m now a mom &#8211; I used to chase my annoying little brother out of the room when I&#8217;d pretend to be in Pink Slip, and now he&#8217;s an uncle who towers over me. It&#8217;s indeed a freaky feeling.<\/p>\n<p><em>Freakier Friday<\/em> hits theaters on August 8, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.disneyplus.com\/movies\/freaky-friday\/3fHmXbluw63h?v=control\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Freaky Friday<\/em><\/a> is currently streaming on Disney+.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Want more io9 news?
