According to People Magazine, Jamie Lee Curtis said at the Amazon Upfront in New York City on May 12 that:

"Lindsay was 15, and as she's matured, we've stayed in contact our whole lives. I think it's important, particularly with someone who is young in the movie business, if you connect with them, you have to let them know it's real. There's R-E-E-L life, and then there's R-E-A-L life."

She further added:

"I wanted her to understand that there was a bridge and that I was real, and that she always could be real with me. And she was. Through the course of her young life, we've stayed in contact."

According to People Magazine, Jamie Lee Curtis also explained how the sequel happened.

"It was her visiting me, bringing her baby to visit me, that led to a picture of the two of us that I posted, and then the floodgate of people going, 'Oh my God, oh my God,' and then me calling Disney going, 'Hi! Lindsay's old enough to have a teenager. Let's go!' And then they did."
