How to watch Freakier Friday at home: The legacy sequel is now streaming
Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis are so back. After taking theaters by storm over the summer, Freakier Friday is officially blessing the small screen this season.
In the sequel to their beloved 2003 body-swap comedy Freaky Friday, another mystical body-swap spell is afoot. And this time, it's double the madness, with Sophia Hammons and Julia Butters joining the cast. Directed by Nisha Ganatra, Freakier Friday sees the mother-daughter heroines we know and love (Curtis' Dr. Tess Coleman and Lohan's Anna Coleman) swap bodies with a pair of bickering teens, which results in the ultimate generational clash and comedic chaos.
If you missed it in theaters or cannot wait to watch it again, you'll be thrilled to know the sequel is now available to watch at home. Here's everything you need to know.
What is Freakier Friday about?Set over two decades after Freaky Friday, Freakier Friday follows a grown-up Anna Coleman (Lohan), a 36-year-old single mom to Harper (Butters), working as a manager to insecure pop idol Ella (Maitreyi Ramakrishnan). She's engaged to chef Eric (Manny Jacinto), who has a daughter of his own, Lily (Hammons). Harper and Lily are high school nemeses and will do whatever they can to break up their parents. The wedding is fast approaching, and the ladies — which includes Dr. Tess Coleman (Curtis), a therapist/podcaster/author and grandparent to Harper — are at their wits' end with one another. That's where a whimsical fortune teller/life coach/barista played by Vanessa Bayer comes in to perform the magical body-swap spell.
Check out the official trailer for a first look:
Is the Freaky Friday sequel worth watching?Freakier Friday was a box office hit over the summer, with a $29 million domestic opening weekend ($153 million global total). It became the top August opening ever for a PG-rated or G-rated film. Not too shabby for a sequel. Of course, a great deal of that is due to the positive word of mouth coming out of the theater. It currently holds a 74 percent critic rating and a whopping 91 percent audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Mashable's own reviewer writes, "In the end, Freakier Friday isn’t better than the original. But it is fun, entertaining, and funny. On top of the winning performances of Curtis and Lohan, there’s a meta joy to seeing a real-life wild child return to her roots for a victory lap. That she gets to rock out while doing it is all the better."

Replace your old TV for a bargain: Save $300 on the Samsung 75-inch Q6F QLED 4K TV
SAVE $300: As of Oct. 31, the Samsung 75-inch Q6F QLED TV is down to just $597.99 at Amazon. That's about 33% off its usual list price of $897.99 and its best price on record.

It may be Halloween, but buying a new TV doesn't have to be scary. We've got plenty of guides to help you out on your journey, from the best TV brands to look for to a deep dive into what all the specs mean. Plus, we're here to call out all the best deals we find. If a big screen at a budget-friendly price is what you're after, this 75-inch Samsung TV checks all the right boxes.
As of Oct. 31, the Samsung 75-inch Q6F QLED 4K TV is on sale for just $597.99 at Amazon. That's $300 or 33% off its typical list price of $897.99 and its best price on record. Oddly, Amazon has an incorrect list price, cutting itself short — if you check Best Buy or Samsung's own website, you'll see the actual list price is close to $900.
While it's not the most advanced TV on the market specs-wise, it shines where it matters: picture quality. The huge 75-inch display features HDR10+ support to bring out the most vibrant brights and deep blacks, while the 100% color volume with Quantum Dot technology delivers superior color accuracy in any environment. Next-gen features like AI 4K upscaling and object-tracking sound also upgrade your viewing experience. While there is a dedicated gaming hub, it wouldn't be our first pick for a gaming TV, as the refresh rate tops out at just 60Hz. For watching TV shows and movies, however, that'll suit you just fine.
The Q6F is a 2025 model and Samsung's smart TV platform includes seven years of automatic OS updates, so this TV is relatively future-proof for the next few years. If you're rocking an older TV and want to upgrade for a wallet-friendly price, the Samsung 75-inch Q6F QLED TV is tough to beat at just under $600.

OpenAI will let Sora users pay extra to make more AI videos
OpenAI just opened a new revenue stream.
Specifically, people who like generating AI videos via the Sora tool for free can now pay extra to get more generations per day than the free tier usually allows. The news and an explanation come from Bill Peebles, OpenAI's head of Sora, on X. Peebles called the current economics of Sora "completely unsustainable," as a justification for the move.
SEE ALSO: OpenAI is coming for your MacBook with latest acquisition This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.Currently, users get 30 free generations per day on Sora. According to The Verge, with this new system, users can now pay $4 for 10 extra generations per day. As part of this announcement, Peebles also mentioned that OpenAI will eventually need to pare down the number of free generations people get per day, so if 30 already wasn't enough for you, get prepared to start paying money on a regular basis for Sora.
Peebles also mentioned a desire to eventually let companies charge extra for cameos of popular characters in Sora videos. We'll, uh, see if that ever happens.
The celebrity Halloween costumes that took over the internet
Every Halloween, the internet hosts its own chaotic fashion week — led by celebrities who know how to work a feed. Instagram's the red carpet, TikTok's the after-party, and the dress code is simple: "whatever will break the algorithm."
This year was no exception. Celebs traded couture for cosplay, turning Halloween into a high-production content drop. The members of KATSEYE embodied different Mariah Carey eras in a stylish red-carpet spoof featuring Bowen Yang. Demi Lovato leaned into memehood by resurrecting her infamous alter ego, Poot Lovato. And Kim Kardashian dressed up as a TikTokker, a reminder of just how much influence these social media stars now hold.
What’s striking now is how few of these costumes ever leave the set.
Halloween has become less a party than a photo shoot, a chance to drop cinematic edits, editorial-grade stills, and glossy carousels that rack up millions of likes.
Whether they're recreating pop culture icons or reviving viral memes, stars aren't just dressing up for the night; they're staging a feed takeover.
Here are the viral celebrity costumes that owned Halloween 2025.
Demi Lovato as Poot Lovato View this post on InstagramIn 2015, an unflattering red carpet photo of Demi Lovato spawned one of the internet's strangest legends: Poot Lovato, her supposed basement-dwelling twin.
A decade later, Lovato leaned in — literally — recreating the meme with uncanny precision, fluorescent lighting and all. It's camp, it's catharsis, and it's proof that no one can reclaim a meme quite like its originator.
Lisa as Jibaro from Love, Death & Robots View this post on InstagramLeave it to BLACKPINK superstar Lisa to pull off one of the most visually striking looks of the season.
Channeling the siren from the Emmy-winning Love, Death & Robots episode "Jibaro," she swapped glitter for full-body gold and jangly jewels, transforming the animated nightmare into haute couture. It's part performance art, part pop-idol spectacle — and easily the most gilded Halloween looks to hit Instagram this year.
Megan Thee Stallion as Choso from Jujutsu Kaisen View this post on InstagramOtaku Hot Girl meets cursed energy. Megan Thee Stallion went full anime again this year, cosplaying Choso from Jujutsu Kaisen, down to the character’s distinctive blood-manipulation markings and stoic stare.
With the Culling Game arc set to kick off in Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 this January — and Choso stepping more into the spotlight — Meg's timing was immaculate.
Kim Kardashian as TikTokker Jay Guapõ Credit: TikTok / @kimandnorthHalloween has always been about transformation, but Kim Kardashian's choice this year said something about where fame lives now.
By dressing up as TikTok creator Jay Guapõ — best known for his signature style and shitposting humor — she blurred the line between influencer and influenced. When even a Kardashian is cosplaying TikTokkers, you know the creator economy has fully eclipsed Hollywood.
Benito Skinner and Mary Beth Barone as Nick and Judy from ZootopiaNo one commits to a bit like Benito Skinner and Mary Beth Barone.
The Overcompensating comedy duo stepped into the world of Zootopia as Nick Wilde and Judy Hopps, complete with prosthetic noses, cop gear, and raunchy chemistry. Equal parts furry fantasy and sketch-comedy commitment, it’s the kind of costume that proves Halloween works best when it's funny and unsettling.
Bretman Rock and Cleo as Glinda and Elphaba from Wicked View this post on InstagramBretman Rock knows how to make a statement — this time, sharing the spotlight with his niece Cleo in full Broadway glam.
The pair embodied Glinda and Elphaba from Wicked, perfectly balancing bubblegum pink and emerald green. It was sweet, theatrical, and pure Bretman: camp with heart.
KATSEYE as Mariah Carey erasKATSEYE turned Halloween into a Mariah multiverse — and a full-circle internet moment.
Earlier this year, the Gen Z girl group went viral after fumbling a red-carpet question about Mariah Carey's music videos. For Halloween, they clapped back with a wink, each member embodying a different Carey era in a red-carpet parody video featuring Bowen Yang.
Manon wore the "We Belong Together" wedding gown, Sophia channeled "Honey," Lara slipped into "Obsessed" snakeskin, Megan revived low-rise "Heartbreaker" denim, Daniela rolled through "Fantasy," and Yoonchae topped it off in "All I Want for Christmas Is You" red.
It's self-aware, stan-coded, and proof that this group understands exactly how to turn a viral joke into pop mythology. Oh, and it's totally Mariah-approved.
Janelle Monáe as The Cat in the Hat View this post on InstagramJanelle Monáe's Halloween transformations have become their own annual event.
This year, she turned The Cat in the Hat into a latex-clad fever dream — part Dr. Seuss, part cabaret. For Monáe, Halloween is more than a costume contest. It's an act of world-building.
