Mean Girls (2024) Release Updates & Everything We Know So Far
It’s been 16 years since the original Mean Girls movie left us screaming "On Wednesdays, we wear pink" and making us LOL at Cady Heron’s (Lindsay Lohan) hilarious misadventures at North Shore High School. The film became a cultural phenomenon, spawning memes, catchphrases, and even inspiring a successful Broadway musical adaptation.
After years of speculation and rumors, Paramount Pictures announced in 2022 that a Mean Girls reboot is officially in the works. With a new generation of fans growing up and wanting to experience the same levels of sass, drama, and high school chaos as the original, we couldn’t be more excited!
Release Date Update:
As of this writing, the Mean Girls 2024 release date remains unclear. Initially reported to be hitting theaters in July 2023, it appears that the movie might be delayed to give the creative team more time to get everything just right.
New Cast Revealed:
In April 2022, the project officially entered production with a talented new cast:
- Raven Baxter: Played by actress Peyton List, known for her roles in Jessie and 12 Rules for Selling (the YouTube series).
