The 2004 comedy Mean Girls has returned in a musical movie form titled Mean Girls: Musical and is promising to be awesome. The movie is set to release on January 12, 2024, coinciding with the Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday weekend.

Notably, the musical was fixed for a Paramount+ original release but was changed for a theater release in September 2023. The movie after its big screen debut will later stream on Paramount+.

The musical comedy is directed by Samantha Jayne and Arturo Perez Jr. and produced by Tina Fey and Lorne Michaels. The shooting for the movie began in March 2023 in New Jersey.

As per the plot of Mean Girls: Musical, much like the 2004 version, the new Mean Girls musical movie will follow the story of Cady Heron, a teenager who is struggling through American high school life while trying to adjust to a popular girls' group known as the Plastics and led by Regina George. Humor begins as Cady juggles her newfound popularity, friendships, and a romance with heartthrob Aaron Samuels.
