Disney Vault Unearths Five Abandoned Freakier Friday Sequels, Each More Cursed Than the Last
In a recently uncovered memo from Disney’s vault (next to the cryogenically chilled Walt head), executives once pitched five increasingly disturbing Freaky Friday sequels, each rejected for “excessive existential dread” or some other corporate reason. Among the scrapped gems:
5. Freaky Friday: Funeral Swap
Where a grieving teen swaps bodies with her dead grandmother for “closure,” only to learn Grandma didn’t want to come back.
4. Freaky Friday: IRS Audit
In which a TikTok influencer trades places with a 56-year-old accountant and promptly vanishes in a cubicle-induced coma.
3. Freaky Friday: Species Confusion
Where a girl swaps with the family dog and discovers her parents love her more that way.
2. Freaky Friday: Political Edition
Featured a climate activist switching with an oil lobbyist. It ended when both characters chose to stay in the other’s body—one for power, the other for air conditioning.
1. Freaky Friday: Scumbags
Where Donald Trump and Jeffery Epstein switch bodies. Test screens didn’t notice a difference.
Test audiences reported “emotional nausea.” to each one so Disney opted for a reboot instead.
