Get in losers, we're rewatching Mean Girls.

Following the success of the 2004 film and 2018 Broadway musical of the same name, Paramount Pictures is making fetch happen for a third time with the new film adaptation of the Tony-nominated show.

Though the film features a brand-new cast and a new “twist” on the story with musical numbers, it certainly pays homage to the original with all your favorite one-liners and a handful of returning stars, including Tina Fey and Tim Meadows reprising their roles as Ms. Norbury and Principal Duvall.

As fans get introduced to the new generation of the Plastics, people are already wanting to rewatch the film at home.

Here’s everything to know about how to stream the new Mean Girls movie online (as well as where you can rewatch the original).

In 2021, Paramount Pictures films such as A Quiet Place Part II and Snake Eyes became available to stream 45 days after their theatrical release.

In September 2022, Paramount Pictures President and CEO Brian Robbins teased the company would continue that same release window for future projects while speaking at the Bank of America Securities 2022 Media, Communications & Entertainment Conference. “Theatrical still has the greatest impact. That sort of theatrical release, 45 days later to streaming, that’s working beautifully,” Robbins said, per The Hollywood Reporter.

However, that model varied from movie to movie in 2023. While Transformers: Rise of the Beasts was available to stream 46 days after its theatrical release, the window was a little longer for 80 For Brady, which hit streaming more than 60 days after its theatrical release.
