Speaking last year in a joint interview with the New York Times, Lohan and Curtis opened up about their willingness to return for a sequel.
“As I went around the world with Halloween Ends, people wanted to know if there was going to be another Freaky Friday,” said Curtis.
“Something really touched a chord. When I came back, I called my friends at Disney and said, ‘It feels like there’s a movie to be made.’”
Lohan added that the two were “both open” to a sequel, saying: “We would only make something that people would absolutely adore.”
Lohan couldn’t confirm when filming would start or if a script was finished for the upcoming sequel, However, she said the project is “in the process”, which means at least the wheels are turning.
Those waiting for Freaky Friday 2 can at least enjoy Lohan’s return in the upcoming Irish Wish, which follows a similar plot of a woman waking up in a completely different scenario, after making a wish to marry her dream guy.
