With Freakier Friday in movie theaters, a Lindsay Lohan classic airs on TV tonight

Lindsay Lohan in The Parent Trap.

Lindsay Lohan is currently back on the big screen reprising one of her most-loved characters, Anna Coleman in Freakier Friday, which premiered in theaters on Friday, August 8. But before you check out that body-swap sequel, you can revisit what is arguably the actress's role—well, roles, technically—in a special airing of her beloved '90s comedy The Parent Trap tonight on ABC.

Airing Sunday, August 10 at 8pm Eastern Time, the 1998 update of the 1961 film of the same name follows a similar premise as the original: Lohan plays both "Hallie Parker, a hip Californian, and Annie James, a proper London miss," identical twins who don't even know each other exists—they were separated at birth following the divorce of their parents Nick Parker and Elizabeth James (played by Dennis Quaid and Natasha Richardson). When they accidentally meet at summer camp, however, the girls devise a plan to switch places, forcing their parents to reunite and fall in love again to bring the family back together at last.
