Mean Girls is back, and meaner than ever with a new film and a new group of high schoolers who must face The Plastics or face the Burn Book. The film comes to theaters Jan. 12, 2024. The film isn’t described as a “reboot,” though the characters have the same names as the characters from the 2001 movie.
