Reprising “Ryan” in Disney’s Freakier Friday

Fans of the 2003 cult classic Freaky Friday are celebrating Harmon’s return as Ryan Coleman in the high-stakes sequel, Freakier Friday. Released to critical acclaim, the film sees Harmon playing the supportive, slightly overwhelmed patriarch of a family that is once again dealing with supernatural body-swapping

​Critics have praised Harmon for his “effortless charm” and chemistry with Jamie Lee Curtis. During a rare press appearance in late 2025, Harmon noted that he didn’t do it for the paycheck or the fame, but for the chance to work with Curtis again, whom he has known since she was a teenager. The film’s success has proven that Harmon still possesses immense “box office pull” outside of the procedural crime genre
