Chad Michael Murray Joins the Chaos in ‘Freakier Friday’ Sequel
So here’s the deal— Chad Michael Murray is back and getting hilariously tangled in the magical mayhem of Freakier Friday , the long-awaited sequel to the 2003 Disney classic. This time around, the body-swapping antics go even further, and Murray’s return adds a nostalgic spark fans didn’t know they needed until now.
He recently showed up on the red carpet at the Freakier Friday premiere in New York alongside Lindsay Lohan, Jamie Lee Curtis, and the rest of the cast. And when he was asked what it was like reuniting with his old co-stars, he didn’t hold back. He straight-up called it “a dream” and joked that he’d ride “those girls’ coattails anytime.” That kind of humility and excitement is refreshing—especially considering the pressure that comes with reviving a beloved movie over two decades later.

The original Freaky Friday was already a hit, but this new one? It’s ramped up big time. Curtis teased on Good Morning America that this isn’t just a two-person body swap anymore—it’s a four-way switch . That means even more chaos, comedy, and yes, awkward identity mix-ups. In the film, Lindsay’s character Anna is now a music producer, engaged to a guy named Eric who has a teenage daughter. Anna’s own daughter is also 15, and let’s just say the two teens don’t exactly see eye to eye. Add Tess—still hilariously controlling as a mom—and suddenly, you’ve got a whole new level of generational switching madness.
While Curtis stayed persistent behind the scenes, pushing hard to get this sequel made, it was clear that the real magic came from the bond between her and Lohan. They’ve stayed close ever since filming the original, and you can feel that chemistry not just on-screen, but in every interview. Lohan even said that Curtis was like a second mom to her when she was young and living in L.A., which honestly makes the reunion even more special.
As for Chad, he brings that same classic charm fans remember from early 2000s teen flicks, but with a self-aware twist. He admitted feeling a bit nervous going into the sequel—worried, like many, about whether it could live up to the first. But according to him, not only did it meet expectations, it exceeded them.
And for those wondering—no spoilers yet on who switches with who . Curtis is keeping that twist under wraps, but it’s clear from everyone’s reaction that the film is packed with unexpected turns, high-energy comedy, and heartfelt moments.
So mark your calendar— Freakier Friday hits theaters on August 8. And if you loved the original or just want to see Chad Michael Murray get hilariously thrown into family drama again, this one’s not to be missed.
