“There’s no question,” that Freaky Friday 2 will happen with Lindsay Lohan, Curtis tells EW, but adds that “stories require writers.”

Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan won’t switch bodies in Disney’s Freaky Friday sequel until studios switch up their payment methods to end the ongoing Writers Guild of America strike, according to the Oscar-winning actress.

“Oh, it’ll happen. For sure. Oh, for sure. There’s no question,” Curtis tells EW of the long-awaited Freaky Friday 2 in an interview for her upcoming movie Haunted Mansion, which is based on the beloved Disney parks attractions at resorts around the world.

When asked if she has an idea for where fans might see mother-daughter duo Tess (Curtis) and Anna (Lohan) Coleman’s story pick up over two decades after they first swapped bodies in the 2003 comedy hit, the Everything Everywhere All at One star cited the strike as an obstacle in the project’s progression.

“Yes, except stories require writers, and right now there are no writers because they’re all fighting for their lives, for their creative lives, for their emotional lives, and for their financial lives,” she explains. “We’re in the middle of a contract dispute. And so, until those writers get paid correctly and protected by the producers that make billions off of them, we will not be able to tell you any more about the Freaky Friday sequel, except that it is happening.”

Curtis told the New York Times in May that her 2022 press tour for Halloween Ends inspired her to explore making a continuation of Freaky Friday with Lohan. “As I went around the world with Halloween Ends, people wanted to know if there was going to be another Freaky Friday,” she said. “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.'”

Representatives at Disney did not respond to EW’s request for comment. Curtis’ fellow Haunted Mansion star, Tiffany Haddish, also tells EW that work on a highly anticipated Girls Trip sequel has also hit a roadblock amid the strike. “That kind of puts a damper on things,” she explains. “I don’t know.”

The pair appears as a comedic duo in Haunted Mansion, with Curtis portraying Madame Leota, the iconic crystal ball-dwelling medium from the titular ride, while Haddish plays a New Orleans psychic enlisted alongside an inventor (LaKeith Stanfield) working on a camera lens that can see spirits and several other paranormal experts (Danny DeVito, Owen Wilson) to help a young boy (Chase W. Dillon) and his single mother (Rosario Dawson) rid their new home of 999 ghosts — including Jared Leto’s menacing Hat Box Ghost.

Curtis and Haddish can be seen together in Justin Simien’s Haunted Mansion when it opens in theaters on July 28.

Twenty years later, Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis are in talks to reunite for a sequel to the hit body-swap comedy “Freaky Friday.”

The sequel is in the works at Disney, with Lohan and Curtis expected to reprise their roles as mother-daughter duo Anna and Tess Coleman. Elyse Hollander, whose work has been featured on the Black List, is penning the script.

Based on Mary Rodgers’ 1972 novel of the same name, the story was adapted for the screen twice before the 2003 film — in 1976 starring Barbara Harris and Jodie Foster, and in 1995 with Shelley Long and Gaby Hoffman. But the Lohan-Curtis version found the most success, scoring over $160 million at the box office.

Rumors started circulating about a potential sequel in February, when Curtis posted a photo of her and Lohan on Instagram with the caption, “It’s Friday. I’m just sayin! Freaky fingers crossed!”

“It’s going to happen,” Curtis elaborated in an interview with Variety at the Producers Guild Awards on Feb. 26. “Without saying there’s anything officially happening, I’m looking at you in this moment and saying, ‘Of course it’s going to happen.’ It’s going to happen.”

The news was revealed in a New York Times interview with Lohan and Curtis celebrating the 20th anniversary of the 2003 film, directed by Mark Waters, which follows a mom and daughter who wake up one Friday morning to find they’ve swapped bodies.

“As I went around the world with ‘Halloween Ends,’ people wanted to know if there was going to be another ‘Freaky Friday,’” Curtis told the New York Times. “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, “Jamie and I are both open to that, so we’re leaving it in the hands that be. We would only make something that people would absolutely adore.”

First off we have a beautiful layout by Claudia. She was so kind enough to make this layout and I can’t thank her enough. I sent her several different photoshoots and let her have full range of whatever pics she wanted to use and the result is just amazing.

I’ve also updated the gallery with all the appearances Lindsay has made on Saturday Night Live which think brings our gallery to well over 103k photos!

After hinting that “Freaky Friday 2” is “going to happen,” Jamie Lee Curtis has confirmed that her former co-star Lindsay Lohan is on board for the sequel.

The “Everything Everywhere All at Once” actress has spoken to Lohan “many times” about the revival, Curtis told TheWrap at Saturday’s Film Independent Spirit Awards, adding that “everyone is down for it.” “The fans are down — that’s who’s down for it, that’s who has to be down for it, and then the rest we’ll figure out.”

While Curtis has previously hinted that the sequel is a go, the “Freaky Friday” actress channeled her upcoming role as a medium in Disney’s “Haunted Mansion” to share that there is a “very good chance” for a revival.

“I’m in the Disney movie ‘Haunted Mansion’ and I play Madame Leota, who’s the medium — she’s in the crystal ball,” Curtis said. “As the Disney crystal ball Madame Leota from ‘Haunted Mansion’ coming up this summer, directed by Justin Simien, I would say there’s a very good chance — like that Magic Eight Ball — I think [there’s a] very good chance ‘Freaky Friday 2’ came up in the Eight Ball.”

Unveiling its official teaser trailer this week, Curtis stars in the cinematic adaptation of Disney’s beloved theme park attraction, “Haunted Mansion,” alongside an ensemble cast featuring LaKeith Stanfield, Tiffany Haddish, Owen Wilson, Danny DeVito, Rosario Dawson, Chase W. Dillon and Dan Levy, to name a few.

Aside from what’s ahead, Curtis is making a splash this year’s awards season, most recently winning Best Supporting Actress in a Film at the 2023 SAG Awards for “Everything Everywhere All at Once.”

Today is the today! Lindsay’s first feature starring role has hit the Netflix platform and I was able to add over 2,000+ 1080p of her from this role. Seriously, you should take an hour and a half of your day and watch this fantastic movie, and I’m not being bias. 😀
