Hitting theaters August 8, 2025, the film picks up years after the original and proves that some life lessons need a second round.
Lohan and Curtis Reunite for a Whole New Body-Swap Adventure
Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan reprise their iconic roles as Tess and Anna Coleman, who are once again thrown into each other’s worlds, literally. But this time, the stakes are higher: Anna is preparing for her wedding, her teenage daughter Harper is causing friction with her soon-to-be stepsister, and Tess is trying to keep the whole situation from spiraling into chaos.
Meet the New Generation: Harper and Lily
Joining the cast is Julia Butters as Harper Coleman, Anna’s sharp-witted daughter, and Sophia Hammons as Lily Davies, her soon-to-be stepsister. Their tense relationship mirrors the original mother-daughter dynamic from the 2003 film, creating an emotional parallel that ties the generations together.
Surprise Returns and New Faces
Also making appearances are Chad Michael Murray as Jake, Anna’s former crush, who stirs up some feelings when he runs into her… while her daughter is inhabiting her. His return adds a playful dose of nostalgia and comic relief.
The ensemble also features Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, Mark Harmon, and Christina Vidal in fun, scene-stealing supporting roles.
A Sequel That Honors the Original

The movie plays with themes of understanding, change, and the challenges of blended families, perfectly packaged in a magical comedy setting.
Get Ready for a Freaky Summer
