Of course, the film definitely required the involvement of both Curtis and Lohan, who are stepping back into their roles alongside other returning actors like Mark Harmon, Chad Michael Murray, Christina Vidal Mitchell, Haley Hudson, Lucille Soong, Stephen Tobolowsky, and Rosalind Chao, all from the original movie. Murray resumes his role as Anna's high school sweetheart, Jake, and Harmon as Ryan, her soon-to-be stepfather. Mitchell and Hudson are poised to return as Anna's bandmates, Maddie and Peg, while Chao and Soong will reprise their roles as the restaurant's owner and her daughter.

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.
