Disney Channel will be creating a musical version of Freaky Friday starring Heidi Blickenstaff and Cozi Zuehlsdorff, the network announced Friday.
“A classic story like Freaky Friday has a magical capacity to engage multiple generations – whether it’s in the form of a book, a theatrical film, a stage show – or all of the above,” said Gary Marsh, President and Chief Creative Officer of Disney Channels Worldwide. “Working with our partners at Disney Live Theatrical, we’re thrilled to bring this classic story to life in a whole new form – a music-driven movie for television.”
Deadline is reporting that the upcoming fifth season of The Last Ship will likely be its last. A confirmation from TNT has yet to come in, though.
