Lindsay Lohan, Jamie Lee Curtis get ‘Freakier’ in ‘Freaky Friday’ sequel trailer

Disney dropped the first trailer of Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis in “Freakier Friday” (on Friday, of course).

And the peek at the new comedy is “Freaky Friday” on steroids, with four body switches! That’s twice as many as the 2003 original.

Curtis, 66, and Lohan, 38, reprise their mother-daughter roles as Tess and Anna Coleman, who endured a comical body switch in “Freaky Friday” (when Curtis was 44 and Lohan was a 16-year-old superstar).

Now, it’s so much more “Freakier” with kids. Just to make sure you follow:

Lohan’s Anna switches bodies with her daughter Harper (Julia Butters, 15, the actress who broke out in “Once Upon a Time in America”).

Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis Hold hands on ‘Freaky Friday 2’ set

Curtis’ Tess switches places with Anna’s soon-to-be stepdaughter Lilly Davies (played by Sophia Hammons, 18, an American actress working an accent).

The realization of the switch leads Lilly, stuck inside her grandmother-in-law’s body, to proclaim, “My face looks like a Birkin bag that’s been left out in the sun to rot.”

All sorts of comic mayhem ensues. Lessons will be learned, and Lohan will strap on an electric guitar again before it’s all over (she sang “Ultimate” in the original).

Who’s the stud on the motorcycle? Chad Michael Murray makes a ‘sexy grand entrance’

Chad Michael Murray, who played Anna’s boyfriend, Jake, makes a head-turning entrance in the trailer, pulling up on a motorcycle and flicking his hair out of his black helmet. But Anna has a new husband, played by Manny Jacinto (“Top Gun: Maverick“).

Other returning cast members from the original film include Mark Harmon (who played Tess Coleman’s fiance Ryan), Christina Vidal Mitchell (Maddie), Haley Hudson (Peg), Rosalind Chao (Pei-Pei), Lucille Soong (Pei-Pei’s Mom) and Stephen Tobolowsky (Mr. Bates).
