Murray resumes his role as Anna's high school sweetheart, Jake, and Harmon as Ryan, her soon-to-be stepfather.

The film's official plot summary: A sequel to the beloved 2003 film with a multigenerational twist, the film picks up years after Tess (Curtis) and Anna (Lohan) endured an identity crisis. Anna now has a daughter of her own and a soon-to-be stepdaughter. As they navigate the myriad challenges that come when two families merge, Tess and Anna discover that lightning might indeed strike twice.
According to a post shared by Disney, the film is already in the early stages of filming, with an unconfirmed release date slated for 2025. However, given the fact that the film has a full cast and is finally being fast-tracked, it's likely that its release will be sooner rather than later.
