22-Year Wait Unveiled: Jamie Lee Curtis Explains Freaky Friday Sequel Delay

The Wait is Over: Jamie Lee Curtis Spills the Tea on the 22-Year Delay of Freaky Friday 2

Get ready for a dose of nostalgia and a whole lot of laughter as the highly-anticipated sequel to the beloved classic, Freaky Friday, finally hits theaters after an astonishing 22-year wait. TheScholarlyNote.com has got the scoop on why it took so long to bring this iconic mother-daughter duo back together on the big screen.

We caught up with none other than Jamie Lee Curtis, the talented actress who embodied the role of Tess Coleman in the original movie, and she dished out all the juicy details. It turns out that Lindsay Lohan's age was the major hurdle in making a sequel happen. "Lindsay had to be old enough to have a 15-year-old daughter for the premise to work," Jamie revealed on The One Show.

The American actress confessed that fans had been asking about a potential sequel for years, but she just couldn't shake off the feeling that Lindsay wasn't quite ready to reprise her role. "People would ask me about the movie over and over again, and I'd say, 'Not yet!'" Jamie recalled. But when someone pointed out that Lindsay was indeed old enough to have a teenage daughter of her own, Jamie's response was priceless: "What do you mean? I know her as this young girl so I don't know how old she is!"

It seems that Jamie had been keeping an eye on the clock, waiting for the perfect moment to revive the Freaky Friday franchise. And now, after two decades of anticipation, fans will finally get to see the iconic pairing switch places once again in the aptly titled sequel, Freakier Friday.

But what can we expect from this latest installment? According to TheScholarlyNote.com's sources, things are about to get a whole lot crazier. In Freakier Friday, Lindsay's character, Anna Coleman (now a mother herself), is busy planning her wedding to Eric Davies when chaos erupts in the form of a freaky body swap incident.

This time around, it's not just Anna and Tess who switch bodies; they're joined by two other unsuspecting characters - Anna's teenage daughter Harper and Tess's new 'granddaughter' Lily. The result? Quadruple chaos ensues as the foursome navigates their new roles with mere days to go until the wedding.

But that's not all - Chad Michael Murray returns as Jake, the original love interest of Lindsay's character, adding a deliciously complicated layer to the story. As the two teenage girls try to help Anna reunite with her first love amidst the wedding chaos, it becomes clear that this Freaky Friday sequel is going to be bigger and bolder than ever before.

So, what does Jamie Lee Curtis have to say about the long wait for a sequel? "It's been 22 years in the making, but we're finally here," she exclaimed. And with its star-studded cast, hilarious premise, and heartwarming message, it's clear that Freakier Friday is going to be worth the wait.
