In 2003, Disney released a remake starring Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan.

Now, Curtis and Lohan say they’re ready for a Freaky Friday (2003) sequel. Curtis stars in Disney’s The Haunted Mansion, premiering in 2023, which she told The View has given her the chance to ask Disney to consider a second Freaky Friday film.
“Let me be the grandma! Let me be the old grandma who switches places,” said Curtis, who is currently on a press tour for Halloween Ends (2022).
