Freaky Friday (franchise)

The Freaky Friday franchise consists of American family comedies, including the original film, a television film adaptation, the film remake and a sequel to that film, and a stage musical and a film adaptation of that stage production. The franchise as a whole centers around body swapping between parents and their children, who initially find they cannot agree on anything. Over the course of each respective installment, they individually find that they have respect for each other and they gain a better understanding of the other person.

The original 1976 film was met with mixed reviews. The 1995 television film adaptation was poorly received, by critics and viewers alike. The 2003 theatrical remake and its 2025 sequel were met with positive reviews. Despite the negative reception to the stage musical, its 2018 Disney Channel movie adaptation received positive reviews from critics. The theatrical installments fared well at the box office, earning a profit for Disney.
