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.
