The 2025 sequel “Freakier Friday“ is coming to Blu-ray Disc on November 11th via Disney. Nisha Ganatra directed the movie, which stars Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan. It co-stars Julia Butters, Sophia Hammons, Mark Harmon, Manny Jacinto, Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, Christina Vidal, and Haley Hudson.

The tech specs for the Blu-ray Disc release include a 1080p HD video presentation in a 2.39:1 aspect ratio with lossless DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1 surround sound, on a BD-50 disc. The Dolby Atmos mix appears to be reserved for digital release only at present, as no 4K release is planned; more on that later. The Blu-ray release will come as a 2-disc “combo pack” with its DVD counterpart included, along with a digital copy, compatible with Movies Anywhere.

UPDATED: You can now find the Blu-ray available for preorder at Amazon, but not Walmart, so stay tuned for an update on that soon when the situation changes.

The bonus materials set to be included with the Blu-ray release are listed below.

  • Deleted Scenes – Check out the scenes that didn’t make the final cut.
  • Featurettes:
    • Making Things Freakier – More than two decades later, the band is back together! Go behind the scenes as returning cast members talk about reprising their roles. Learn about the stunts, taking on each other’s mannerisms – and how this film is a love letter to Los Angeles.
  • Where Were You When… – Join the original cast as they reflect on the fun and magic of the 2003 production and learn where new cast members were in 2003. Writer Jordan Weiss shares a great anecdote that reveals the fandom and staying power of the earlier classic.

  • “Baby” Lyric Music Video – Catch this heartfelt lyric video that combines clips from the movie with behind-the-scenes production footage.

EDITORIAL NOTE: As of yet, there is no 4K UHD Blu-ray release of this film planned. Perhaps later on, but for the home video release, Disney has opted for an HD physical media release only.

Below, after the break, you can find the home video and theatrical trailer for the film, along with its press release for home video release.
