2024 has kicked off with a bang, and not only are there months of pure releases ahead, but the countdown for Mean Girls has already begun. The new version of the classic that has left a mark on an entire generation is back with the iconic Plastics. Reneé Rapp has been chosen to bring Regina George to life.

This time, Angourie Rice replaces Lindsay Lohan in the main role of Cady Heron. Several cast members will be reprising their familiar roles, including Tina Fey, who also serves as the writer for both the original and the upcoming new musical, set to be released on January 12 in the United States.

It’s not the first time the story has been brought to life after the popular title made a trend; in 2019, it was adapted for the Broadway stage. It was there that Rapp first portrayed the beloved villain. Both the audience and critics enjoyed her performance so much that she ended up earning the role in the film adaptation.
