Is there a trailer?

Yes! The first trailer for the film was released on Friday, March 14, 2025. Watch above.

It follows Tess and Anna going to a fortune teller (Bayer), who tells them that their lifelines have intercepted before. While at a party, they feel the earthquake, which is synonymous with them switching bodies. When they wake up the next morning, they aren’t themselves or even each other. Anna’s daughter and stepdaughter switch bodies with them, causing an even freakier Friday than before. The trailer then follows them as they try to switch back into their proper bodies. They even try to run into each other like Tess and Anna did in the first movie. Along the way, they run into new and familiar faces. Murray shows up at the end on his motorcycle, making a “sexy grand entrance” in front of Anna.

Who will helm Freakier Friday?

Freakier Friday is directed by Nisha Ganatra. It is produced by Kristin Burr, Andrew Gunn, and Lee Curtis, with Nathan Kelly, Ann Marie Sanderlin, and Lohan serving as executive producers.
