In December 2024, Variety reported that Curtis was being eyed to lead Universal’s “Murder, She Wrote” film adaptation. The “Freakier Friday” star will take on the role of Jessica Fletcher, the crime writer turned detective that was played by Angela Lansbury in the original series.

Curtis is currently showing off her comedy chops in the upcoming Freakier Friday, alongside Lindsay Lohan. The Freak Friday sequel, which will be released in theaters August 8, sees Lohan's character Anna as a mother to her own teen daughter ( Julia Butters ), with Curtis returning as Anna's mom Tess.

Jamie Lee Curtis has confirmed that she will star in a “Murder, She Wrote” reboot. “Oh, it’s… happening,” Curtis told Entertainment Tonight.
