Fetch the popcorn: The Mean Girls reboot is plastic fantastic.

Hold onto your pink accessories, because the trailer for the highly anticipated Mean Girls musical reboot has just dropped, giving us a glimpse into the world of The Plastics, pink Wednesdays, and Regina George like you've never seen her before. The first trailer is nothing short of fetch, leaving fans of the original movie buzzing with excitement and intrigue.

The most significant revelation in this reboot is the casting of Renee Rapp as Regina George. Rapp, known for her Tony-nominated performance in Mean Girls on Broadway, steps into the iconic role made famous by Rachel McAdams. The trailer showcases her formidable presence and uncanny ability to channel the essence of Regina, leaving no doubt that she's the perfect choice to play the fierce queen-bee and leader of The Plastics.

The trailer teases us with the classic hallways of North Shore High, the infamous Burn Book, and a group of fresh faces ready to make their mark on the high school hierarchy. The witty humour, sharp one-liners, and biting satire that defined the original film are intact, promising a delightful blend of nostalgia and contemporary commentary with a musical twist.

This reboot, much like the original, doesn't shy away from the timeless themes of friendship, rivalry, and the absurdities of high school life. It modernises these themes to resonate with today's TikTok obsessed audience, while still paying homage to the beloved moments that made the original a cult classic.

With the trailer leaving fans in stitches and excited for what's to come, it's safe to say that the Mean Girls reboot is gearing up to be a worthy successor to the iconic teen comedy. So, mark your calendars for January 12, 2024, because Regina George and The Plastics are back in town, and they're here to remind you that, "On Wednesdays, we wear pink!"
