With Curtis and Lohan both reprising their roles as mother-daughter duo Tess and Anna Coleman, other returning cast members include Mark Harmon, Chad Michael Murray, Christina Vidal Mitchell, Haley Hudson, Lucille Soong, Stephen Tobolowsky, and Rosalind Chao.
New cast members, meanwhile, include Julia Butters, Sophia Hammons, Manny Jacinto, and Maitreyi Ramakrishnan.
The studio also teased the new film’s plot, calling it a sequel 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,” reads the synopsis. “As they navigate the myriad challenges that come when two families merge, Tess and Anna discover that lightning might indeed strike twice.”
Nisha Ganatra is directing, while both Curtis and Lohan are named as producers.
