Sophia Hammons (born November 16, 2006) is an American actress. She rose to fame for playing Amy in the Disney Channel Original Movies Under Wraps (2021) and its sequel Under Wraps 2, and gained further recognition for playing Lily Reyes in Freakier Friday (2025), which marked her feature film debut.

Life and career

Hammons was born in South Pasadena, California and moved to Boulder, Colorado at the age of six.[1][2][3]

Hammons starred as Amy in the Disney Channel films Under Wraps[4] & Under Wraps 2[5] and as Celeste in the Hulu original Up Here.[6] Hammons appeared in the Netflix docudrama The Social Dilemma, in which she played the phone-obsessed girl Isla alongside Skyler Gisondo and Kara Hayward. The film premiered at Sundance and was nominated for seven Emmy Awards. It was announced in June 2024 that Hammons will be starring in the 2025 film Freakier Friday with Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan.[7] In an interview in Glamour magazine published online on August 9, 2025, the day after Freakier Friday released in the United States, Hammons described the thrill of playing the role of Lily Reyes--like Hammons, the daughter of a single dad (played in the film by Manny Jacinto)--against Julia Butters' Harper Coleman, daughter of Anna (Lindsay Lohan), as a "full-circle moment," given her childhood fandom of Freaky Friday, and said that she and Butters "clicked instantly" on set.[8]
