May 14, 2026

When Lisa Ann Walter stopped by the Wrap Up Show on Monday, she had plenty to discuss with hosts Gary Dell’Abate and Jon Hein, from the success of her hit series “Abbott Elementary” to the time she took her 6-year-old to see Howard’s movie, “Private Parts.” However, it was her update on a potential “Parent Trap” sequel that really caught the guys’ attention.

According to Lisa, she didn’t hear about the project through her agent, but rather while attending the premiere of “Freakier Friday” with co-star Lindsay Lohan. “They came up to me and said, ‘So, did your people talk to you yet?'” Lisa recalled of the encounter with producers. “And they were like, ‘You’re gonna, you know, get the offer to reprise Chessy in Parent Trap 2.'”

While nothing is official yet, Lisa told Jon and Gary she is more than open to returning to the role that has earned her a whole new generation of fans. “The fact that you could be loved from something that you’ve done… and people to this day come up to me,” she said, noting that even the young cast of “Heathers the Musical” constantly quotes the film to her. “It’s so wholesome. It makes me feel so happy.”
