Jamie Lee Curtis recently shared an exciting update about the upcoming follow-up to Freaky Friday, especially for fans of the fictional rock band Pink Slip. During an interview with PEOPLE at the D23 Expo on August 9, Curtis revealed that Pink Slip will make a return in the new movie, and fans of the original are buzzing with excitement.
In the original Freaky Friday, Pink Slip was a key part of the story. The band, led by Lindsay Lohan’s character Anna, and featuring Christina Vidal as Maddie and Haley Hudson as Peg, was a standout element of the film. Curtis confirmed that Lohan, Vidal, and Hudson will all be back for the sequel, bringing Pink Slip along with them.
Lindsay Lohan, who played Anna and was the lead singer of Pink Slip, hinted at what fans can expect from the band in the new film. She mentioned that audiences loved seeing Pink Slip perform, and hinted that the sequel might feature even more music from the band. “When we were filming the songs, people kept asking for an encore,” Lohan said. “We only had one song ready, but we didn’t expect such a response! This time, there will be more songs in the movie.”
Adding to the excitement, Curtis teased that the sequel will include a particularly moving song. “There’s a song in the new movie that will really tug at your heartstrings,” Curtis said. She even predicted that this song could become a major hit next summer, calling it the “song of the summer” and urging fans to trust her judgment, even if she joked about being an “old lady.”
Entertainment Weekly noted that details about the sequel’s plot are still scarce, but it’s known that Curtis and Lohan’s characters will swap bodies with two teenagers, similar to the original film. Curtis will reprise her role as Tess Coleman, and Lohan will return as Anna Coleman. The film is being directed by Nisha Ganatra, with Jordan Weiss writing the script.
Production on the sequel began on June 24th, and Walt Disney Studios has released a photo of Curtis and Lohan on set. In the photo, the actresses are seen in front of each other’s trailers, hinting at the body-swapping theme of the film. The image captured some of the nostalgia and excitement as fans look forward to the return of these beloved characters and the band.
The sequel will also feature returning cast members Mark Harmon, Chad Michael Murray, Lucille Soong, Stephen Tobolowsky, and Rosalind Chao. The goal of the movie is to blend nostalgia with fresh elements to keep fans engaged while introducing new aspects that will add to the excitement.
The anticipation for the Freaky Friday sequel is building as the film is scheduled for release in 2025. With Pink Slip making a comeback and more music promised, fans are eagerly awaiting what’s next. Curtis and Lohan are enthusiastic about the sequel and its emotional impact, promising a treat for long-time fans of the original film.
