What is Mean Girls about?
Directed by Arturo Perez and Samantha Jayne, the synopsis for Mean Girls reads: “New student Cady Heron is welcomed into the top of the social food chain by the elite group of popular girls called ‘The Plastics,’ ruled by the conniving queen bee Regina George and her minions Gretchen and Karen. However, when Cady makes the major misstep of falling for Regina’s ex-boyfriend Aaron Samuels, she finds herself prey in Regina’s crosshairs. As Cady sets to take down the group’s apex predator with the help of her outcast friends Janis and Damian, she must learn how to stay true to herself while navigating the most cutthroat jungle of all: high school.”
The Mean Girls 2024 remake is based on a screenplay written by Tina Fey, who will reprise her Ms. Norbury role. The rest of the cast includes Reneé Rapp as Regina George, Angourie Rice as Cady Heron, Avantika Vandanapu as Karen, Bebe Wood as Gretchen Wieners, Auli’i Cravalho as Janis, Jaquel Spivey as Damian, Christopher Briney as Aaron Samuels, Mahi Alam as Kevin, Tim Meadows as Principal Duvall, Jenna Fischer as Ms. Heron, and Jon Hamm as Coach Carr.
