Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis are reprising their roles in the long-awaited sequel to Freaky Friday, and fans can also expect a Parent Trap reunion in the long-anticipated film
Fans are delighted by the long-anticipated reunion of Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis in the second Freaky Friday film, Freakier Friday, launching in August this year. But it seems they are not the only iconic duo teaming up once again; Lindsay’s co-star from Parent Trap will also be starring in the sequel.
Some 27 years since their epic filming adventure in the beloved Disney remake of Parent Trap, Elaine Hendrix – who played the fabulous yet villainous Meredith Blake – will be reuniting with Lohan. Hedrix told Entertainment Weekly how great it was to see Lindsay again; the pair did not stay in touch much post-Parent Trap as Lohan was just 11 years old at the time, while Hendrix was 26.
But when Hendrix, now 54, got a call from Freakier Friday director Nisha Ganatra, it unexpectedly brought her and Lindsay back together. “I was like girl, you know I’ll show up for you to do anything,” Hendrix said she told Ganatra. Elaine says since film the pair got to spend a lot of time together and enjoying reminiscing. “Now, we’re better about staying in touch with one another,” Hendrix added.
Earlier this year, Lohan shared a photo of herself on Instagram at the 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar Party. In the comment section, Hendrix replied: “Being young & beautiful is not a crime you know”, a reference to a popular quote in Parent Trap where Meredith levels with Lohan’s character.
Fans are delighted after hearing about the pair’s reunion in Freakier Friday.
On X, people rushed to comment after a post was shared on Lindsay Lohan Fan Updates, and people have noticed Elaine in the trailer. @lavitalohan said: “Another surprise reunion? THE PARENT TRAP’s Elaine Hendrix has reportedly joined the cast of FREAKIER FRIDAY!”
“MEREDITH BLAKE IN FREAKIER FRIDAY?!” commented one. Another dubbed Hedrix’s cameo role “awesome,” while another insisted it is “iconic.” “She’s back for revenge,” jokes another. “My girl hasn’t aged one bit,” observed one more.
One other said: “Another iconic reunion! Elaine Hendrix in Freakier Friday is a perfect match! Can’t wait to see her bring that magic back to the screen!.” On TikTok, one fan said, “wait I’m obsessed,” after hearing about the pair’s reunion.
What can we expect from Freakier Friday?
In the original Freaky Friday released in 2003, Tess (Jamie Lee Curtis) swapped places with her daughter, Anna (Lohan) and all sorts of shenanigans take place. The sequel is going a slightly different direction, taking place years after the first film.
Anna is now grown up and has a daughter of her own, named Harper, played by Julia Butters. Harper is about to marry the dashing Eric (Manny Jacinto), however Harper doesn’t get along with Eric’s daughter, Lily (Sophia Hammons). Or at least, she doesn’t until the girls switch bodies with Tess and Anna.
Fans of the first film can expect to see the return of Mark Harmon, Chad Michael Murray, Christina Vidal Mitchell, Haley Hudson, Lucille Soong, Stephen Tobolowsky and Rosalind Chao.. Plus extra stars include Vanessa Bayer, Julia Butters, Manny Jacinto, Maitreyi Ramakrishnan and Sophia Hammons.
Freakier Friday will hit cinemas August 8, 2025.
