The 'Mean Girls' movie musical hits theaters on Jan. 12

Mean Girls is back.

Almost 20 years after Tina Fey's original Mean Girls movie premiered in theaters, Fey, 53, is bringing her iconic comedy back to the big screen — this time as a movie musical reimagining based on the 2018 Broadway musical of the same name,

The new movie musical stars Angourie Rice as Cady, Renée Rapp as Regina George (reprising her Broadway role), Auli'i Cravalho as Janis, Jaquel Spivey as Damian, Anantika as Karen and Bebe Wood as Gretchen. A brand new trailer Paramount released for the movie Wednesday teases Cady's arrival at her new high school and initial run-ins with Aaron (Christopher Briney) and Regina, set to Rapp's song "Not My Fault" she recorded with Megan Thee Stallion for the film's soundtrack.

Fey first announced she was adapting the Mean Girls musical into a movie musical in January 2020; the movie officially unveiled its cast in December 2022. In February 2023, Fey additionally announced that she and Tim Meadows, who played Ms. Norbury and Principal Duvall in the original film, would reprise their roles.

“It was about: How do we do the best of the musical, plus the best of the original?” Lorne Michaels, who produced both the original film and the new movie, told Entertainment Weekly in December of the new Mean Girls. “It isn’t a remake, it’s a new interpretation. It feels like a familiar enough story, but it’s for today.”
