Fetch may still happen! Almost 20 years after Mean Girls hit theaters, the Plastics are getting another chance to sing to audiences. Paramount+ has officially confirmed that another Mean Girls movie is in the works and it will be a musical venture.
The new flick will be based on the Broadway musical of the 2004 comedy which followed Cady Heron as she returns to the U.S. from Kenya and starts the year at North Shore High School. There, she is exposed to the different cliques and tries to make friends with the popular girls headed by Regina George.
The show ran for 833 performances at the August Wilson Theater, but was forced to close in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Shortly before, Tina Fey, who wrote the original film and the book, announced that the musical would be getting the big screen treatment. Now, after almost three years of waiting, the cast of the forthcoming movie has been revealed.
Angourie Rice, who starred in the recent Spider-Man franchise, will fill the role of Cady which Lindsay Lohan depicted in the film. Reneé Rapp will reprise her Broadway role of Regina George, filling Rachel McAdam’s shoes. Auli’i Cravalho, and Jaquel Spivey have been cast as Janis and Damien, respectively.
Fey will write the script and produce.
