Freaky Friday Movies: Release Order
The Freaky Friday franchise centers on the magical body-swapping premise where family members switch places and learn to appreciate each other's lives. This watch order includes all three theatrical releases, beginning with the original 1976 adaptation starring Barbara Harris and Jodie Foster, which brought Mary Rodgers' novel to the big screen.
The 2003 remake with Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan reimagined the story for a new generation, featuring entirely different characters - the Coleman family rather than the Andrews family. Freakier Friday marks the franchise's first true sequel, continuing the Coleman family story twenty-two years later as Anna now has her own daughter, creating multigenerational body-swapping chaos.
