Is Chad Michael Murray reprising his role as Jake in the Freaky Friday sequel?
Chad Michael Murray is finally returning as Jake decades later in the upcoming Freaky Friday sequel, as the news was recently confirmed in a joint statement on Disney and Disney Studios Instagram accounts.

In the original 2003 fantasy comedy film, Murray played his co-star Lindsay Lohan's character Anna Coleman's love interest, while Jamie Lee Curtis depicted the role of her mother, Tess Coleman.
