Get in loser, we’re going to watch the Mean Girls musical!

That’s right, the classic film we know and love is back with a new era of The Plastics set to terrorise Cady Heron and the rest of North Shore High School.

Inspired by the original film and award-winning Broadway musical, we’re so ready to make fetch happen once more. So, from the cast, release date to trailer, here is everything you need to know about the Mean Girls movie musical.

What is the Mean Girls musical film about?

Much like the 2004 version, the new Mean Girls musical movie will follow teenager Cady Heron, who moves to North Shore High School and hatches a plan with Janis and Damon to infiltrate The Plastics, led by none other than Regina George.

But, as it's also adapted from the 2018 Broadway musical, there’s also set to be iconic musical numbers throughout. You go, Glen Coco!

Is there a trailer for the Mean Girls musical film?

On Wednesdays, we watch the new Mean Girls trailer! Our first look at the adaptation dropped on 8th November and there’s so much happening.

Featuring Olivia Rodrigo's ‘Get Him Back!’, the trailer starts out with the warning: “This is not your mother's Mean Girls.” We then get our first glimpse of Reneé Rapp as Regina George, plus Tina Fey returns as does the iconic Burn Book, the Winter Talent Show and more.
