Disney Channel's 'Freaky Friday' Musical Gets Premiere Date!

Disney Channel’s upcoming musical movie, Freaky Friday, just got a premiere date!

Based on the stage version of Mary Rodgers’ 1972 novel of the same name, the television movie stars Heidi Blickenstaff as Katherine and Cozi Zuehlsdorff as daughter Ellie.

In the flick, Ellie is attempting to assert her independence, all while trying to deal with her father’s death five years ago and the fact that her mom is now getting remarried.

A confrontation rises when Katherine won’t allow Ellie to join “The Hunt,” an epic all-night scavenger quest organized by her crush Adam. Upon wishing the other would change their ways, mother and daughter magically swap bodies through the magical power of an hourglass that Ellie received from her father – a treasured gift which is then accidentally shattered.

Now, they must hunt down the matching hourglass that Katherine’s late husband gave her in order to swap bodies back to their true selves.

The movie also stars Ricky He, Alex Désert, Jason Maybaum, Kahyun Kim, Dara Reneé, Jennifer Laporte, Isaiah Lehtinen, and Sarah Willey.

Freaky Friday will premiere on Friday, August 10th @ 8PM ET/PT on Disney Channel and will be available earlier on DisneyNOW and on Disney Channel VOD.
