Disney’s “Freakier Friday” is now available on digital platforms, with Blu-ray and DVD arriving November 11 and streaming beginning exclusively on Disney+ November 12. To mark the home entertainment release, the cast and creative team gathered on November 5 at Break Room 86 in Los Angeles, the same venue featured in one of the film’s key party sequences. The event was nostalgic for fans of the franchise including several interactive activities.
As part of our coverage, Awards Focus is debuting an exclusive behind-the-scenes clip featuring the cast discussing the importance of filming in Los Angeles and how shooting locally influenced the tone and community of the production.
The sequel revisits Tess and Anna, played by Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan. Anna is now raising her own daughter and preparing to become a stepmother. The film explores the challenges and joys of blending families and finding empathy across generations. The story carries forward the themes that made “Freaky Friday” resonate, while allowing the characters to grow into more layered emotional territory.
The release celebration brought together cast members Manny Jacinto, Sophia Hammons, and Haley Hudson, along with director Nisha Ganatra. Break Room 86 was transformed into a colorful lounge with nods to the film. Guests moved between photo setups, prop displays, and a station offering personalized tarot card “freaky fortunes.” Later in the evening, the dance floor filled as the DJ leaned into early 2000s alt-pop and the beloved Pink Slip tracks that fans instantly recognized. Guests were also treated to themed food items such as nachos and donuts, as well as several giveaways.
The evening also highlighted the chemistry and heart that define this new generation of the “Freaky Friday” story. Manny Jacinto, who brings a grounded humor to his role as Eric, spoke with fans and posed for photos between songs, while Sophia Hammons (Lily) and Haley Hudson’s (Peg) easy camaraderie reflected the on-screen family dynamic that gives the film its warmth. Director Nisha Ganatra also stopped by to mingle with fans and reunite with her splendid cast. Together, they’ve expanded the film’s legacy with a sequel that honors the spirit of the original while speaking to modern audiences about identity, family, and second chances.
The home release includes additional content, such as behind-the-scenes footage and cast interviews. These features highlight the collaborative spirit of the production and the creative choices that shaped this return to the “Freaky Friday” world.
“Freakier Friday” will begin streaming on Disney + on November 12th.
