What's in the new trailer?
It starts with a girl bumping into the new girl in high school, Cady, and curses her. Tina Fey, reprising her character of Math teacher Sharon Norbury, warns, “Hey, PG-13.” But as the text on the next frame of the trailer says, “It's not your mother's Mean Girls.”
The official synopsis of the new Mean Girls follows the plot of the original. It states, “From the comedic mind of Tina Fey comes a new twist on the modern classic, Mean Girls. New student Cady Heron (Angourie Rice) 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 (Reneé Rapp) and her minions Gretchen (Bebe Wood) and Karen (Avantika). However, when Cady makes the major misstep of falling for Regina’s ex-boyfriend Aaron Samuels (Christopher Briney), 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 (Auli’i Cravalho) and Damian (Jaquel Spivey), she must learn how to stay true to herself while navigating the most cutthroat jungle of all: high school.”
