This film is Lindsay Lohan's first lead role in a film to receive a wide cinema release in eighteen years; her previous picture to do so was I Know Who Killed Me (2007).
Mark Harmon's first project not connected with NCIS: Naval Criminal Investigative Service (2003) in thirteen years.
Jamie Lee Curtis (Tess), Lindsay Lohan (Anna), Chad Michael Murray (Jake), Mark Harmon (Ryan), Stephen Tobolowsky (Mr. Bates), Rosalind Chao (Pei-Pei), Lucille Soong (Pei-Pei's mom), Christina Vidal (Maddie) and Haley Hudson (Peg) are all reprising the roles they originally played in Freaky Friday (2003).
This will mark the first time a Freaky Friday film is photographed in a widescreen 2.39:1 aspect ratio; by contrast, Freaky Friday (1976) was shot in the more vertical 1.85:1 format.
Lindsay Lohan and Elaine Hendrix reunited for this film after having starred together in Ата-аналарға арналған тұзақ (1998).
Jodie Foster was offered the chance to reprise her role as Annabel from Freaky Friday (1976), but she had to turn it down in favour of filming A Private Life (2025).
This marks the first occasion in 27 years — since The Parent Trap (1998) — that Elaine Hendrix and Lindsay Lohan have appeared together.
