Mean Girls star Amanda Seyfried says Mean Girls 2 is unlikely to happen. Seyfried starred as popular airhead Karen Smith in the 2004 film Mean Girls alongside Rachel McAdams, Lindsay Lohan, Lacey Chabert, and Lizzy Caplan. Penned by Tina Fey and directed by Mark Waters, the high school teen comedy centers on new kid Cady , whose high school experience turns sour when she is welcomed into the school's most popular clique, called the 'Plastics' .
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Since Mean Girls was adapted into a hit Broadway musical of the same name, reports have stated that Paramount is at work on a Mean Girls movie musical, with Fey returning as writer and directing duo Arturo Perez Jr. and Samantha Jayne attached to the project in 2021. In terms of Mean Girls 2, Chabert and several other Mean Girls cast members have been vocal about their hopes for the sequel to come to fruition.
Seyfried: I would kill just to do one week, all of us playing our own roles on Mean Girls on Broadway.Lohan: I don’t know. I heard something about it being a movie musical and I was like, “Oh no.” We can’t do that. It has to be the same tone.Seyfried: Anyway, Tina [Fey] is busy. She’ll get around to it. Listen, we’re all part of each other’s worlds whether we like it or not, and it is really nice to be in contact as adults.
Her conversation with Lohan also seems to indicate that neither actor will be involved with Fey's upcoming movie musical, which will likely feature a new cast. Lohan's previous comments about Mean Girls 2 indicated that the chances for a sequel rest in the hands of Fey, with male romantic lead Jonathan Bennett reiterating that point in August of this year. In addition, the stars of Mean Girls have gone on to boast impressive careers.
With Fey focused on the movie adaptation of Mean Girls: The Musical, set to star in both A Haunting in Venice and Maggie Moore, and serving as a producer for animated comedy series Mulligan, her similarly busy schedule has likely kept her from making any promises about Mean Girls 2.
