Earlier Monday, Lohan said onSiriusXM’sAndy Cohen Livethat aFreaky Fridaysequel is still happening, adding that she and Curtis, 65, are “both excited” about the project.
WhenFreaky Fridaycelebrated its 20th anniversary last year, Curtisbrought up the prospectsof asequel in multiple interviews. The Oscar-winner and Lohan even sat down for a joint interview with theNew York Times, in which they reflected on making the hit comedy about a body-switching mother-daughter duo.
“As I went around the world withHalloween Ends, people wanted to know if there was going to be anotherFreaky Friday,” Curtis told theTimeslast year. “Something really touched a chord. When I came back, I called my friends at Disney and said, ‘It feels like there’s a movie to be made.’”
Lohan added that the two were “both open” to a sequel. “We would only make something that people would absolutely adore,” she said.
Mark Harmon, who played the partner of Curtis’ character, was also sure Curtis could bring a sequel into existence. “I’ve known her since she was 15, and if she’s talking about it, then it’ll happen, because all things happen,” the formerNCISstar, 72,told Kelly Clarkson in November 2023.
