More than two decades on since Freaky Friday was released, fans of the hit movie are set to get a sequel.

The sequel, which will be called Freakier Friday, was announced in May of last year and is set to be released later this year, on August 8.

The show will once again star Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan as mother and daughter duo Tess and Anna Coleman in the hit flick.

Joining them in coming back from the first film will be Mark Harmon, Chad Michael Murray, Christina Vidal Mitchell, Haley Hudson, Stephen Tobolowsky, Lucille Soong and Rosalind Chao.

Meanwhile, actors Manny Jacinto and Julia Butters made the casting, with Nisha Gantra getting the nod to take over the reigns from Mark Waters. Gantra directed the Mindy Kaling and Emma Thompson film Late Night.

For those of us who aren't familiar with the original cult film, in a hilarious turn of events on one particular Friday, the movie sees the leading pair switch bodies after they have a heated argument and subsequently take on - and get a deeper insight into - each other's lives.

Freaky Friday was a hit at the box office and has an impressive Tomatoemeter score of 88 per cent - it's an easy watch and go-to favourite for a reason.

The movie went on to gross over $160 million worldwide on a budget of just $26 million, marking it a total commercial success.

So, what's in store for the long-awaited Freakier Friday?

Well, the synopsis reads: "Years after Tess and Anna endured an identity crisis, Anna now has a daughter and a soon-to-be stepdaughter.

"As they navigate the challenges that come when two families merge, Tess and Anna discover that lightning might strike twice."

Fans have flooded to Twitter to share their excitement of the new film.

One user wrote: "I speak for everyone when I say we will be watching."

Curtis shared a picture of her and Lohan on Instagram.

"This could be more fun than the original. Count me in," a second added.

While a third posted: "IM SOOOO EXCITED!!!"

Back in 2023, 20 years on from when the original 2003 hit movie came out, Curtis uploaded a selfie of herself and Lohan next to one another beaming at the camera to her Instagram account.

The caption read: "Too late. YOU GREW UP and SO BEAUTIFULLY!

"Well, it's Friday, and the strike is over, so hopefully we can switch places again in the near future! @lindsaylohan @disney."
