Disney Confirms Summer 2025 Releases for ‘Lilo & Stitch’ and ‘Freakier Friday’ |

Disney is gearing up to make summer 2025 all about family. The studio has two family films planned for next summer: the live-action adaptation of “Lilo & Stitch” and the sequel “Freakier Friday,” starring Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan.

According to Variety, the live-action “Lilo & Stitch” will hit theaters on May 23, 2025, while “Freakier Friday” will premiere on August 8, 2025. Both films made a strong impression at this year’s D23 Expo, where Disney revealed the title for the “Freaky Friday” sequel and shared the first glimpse of the charming CGI version of Stitch.

In the live-action adaptation, young actress Maia Kealoha plays Lilo Pelekai, arriving 23 years after the original animated film. Like the first film, the story is set in Hawaii and follows Lilo and her older sister Nani as they encounter a mischievous blue alien named Stitch.

Sydney Agudong takes on the role of Nani in the live-action adaptation, while Chris Sanders returns to voice Stitch. The cast includes Zach Galifianakis as Dr. Jumba Jookiba, Billy Magnussen as Agent Pleakley, Courtney B Vance and Tia Carrere, who originally played Nani in the animated film.

On the other hand, Curtis and Lohan return 22 years later for the sequel to their classic body-swap comedy “Freaky Friday.” The sequel also features the return of Chad Michael Murray, Mark Harmon, Christina Vidal Mitchell, Haley Hudson, Lucille Soong, Stephen Tobolowsky and Rosalind Chao. Rounding out the cast are Manny Jacinto, known for “The Acolyte” and “The Good Place,” Maitreyi Ramakrishnan from “Never Have I Ever,” along with Sophia Hammons and Julia Butters.

The film’s synopsis reads: “A sequel to the beloved 2003 film with a multigenerational twist, the film picks up years after Tess (Curtis) and Anna (Lohan) suffered an identity crisis. Anna now has a daughter of her own and soon to daughter. As they deal with the myriad challenges that arise when two families merge, Tess and Anna discover that lightning can indeed strike twice.”
