Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis will return for Freaky Friday 2, according to reports.
Disney is set to make the sequel exactly thirty years after the 2003 body-swap comedy won over the hearts of viewers.
Freaky Friday follows Tess (Curtis) and her daughter Anna (Lohan), whose strained relationship is put to the test when they wake up one Friday and find they have swapped bodies.
