Lindsay Lohan’s Classic Comedy Gets a Netflix Reboot—Arriving Soon

Heads up: the 2024 Mean Girls reboot finally has a Netflix date. If you skipped it in theaters or just want a rewatch with your couch and snacks, the wait is almost over.

When it hits Netflix

Per Whats on Netflix, the new Mean Girls lands on Netflix on December 5, 2025. Yes, the 2024 one. Streaming math is wild.

Quick refresher on this version

This reboot was directed by Samantha Jayne and Arturo Perez Jr. and released in theaters back in January 2024. It stars Angourie Rice, Reneé Rapp, Christopher Briney, and Avantika Vandanapu, and it riffs on the 2004 cult classic that first made fetch happen with Lindsay Lohan, Tina Fey, Rachel McAdams, Amanda Seyfried, Lacey Chabert, and more.

How it did

• Opening weekend: $28 million (Box Office Mojo)
• Worldwide total: $104 million (Box Office Mojo)
• Rotten Tomatoes (2024): 68% Tomatometer, 62% Popcornmeter (audience)
• For comparison, the 2004 original: ~$130 million worldwide; 84% Tomatometer, 66% Popcornmeter

So, decent but not on the original’s level. Reviews were pretty mixed, and the numbers reflect that.

Legacy ties and a cameo worth waiting for

Tina Fey wrote the 2024 reboot. She played Ms. Norbury in the original and returned to the world she helped build, which is always a good sign. Lindsay Lohan also pops in for a quick cameo. Fey explained why the moment comes late in the movie, and it’s a smart bit of expectation management:

I thought it might be nice to have her come kind of late in the movie when you’re like, you’ve so much forgotten that you’re looking for cameos.

Bottom line: if you missed the reboot or want to see how it reworks the 2004 classic, you’ll be able to stream it on Netflix starting December 5. I’m curious to see if it plays better at home than it did in theaters.
