Get in, loser, because Mean Girls, the 2000s cult classic that gave us the Plastics, is getting a revival. Paramount just released its first full-length trailer for the highly anticipated Mean Girls movie musical — now, that’s fetch.

Based on the 2004 teen comedy and subsequent 2018 Broadway show, the movie musical delivers plenty of familiar faces, including Mean Girls creator Tina Fey and actor Tim Meadows returning as Ms. Sharon Norbury and Principal Duval. This Mean Girls is “not like your mother's,” it stars Angourie Rice as Cady, and the Plastics include Renée Rapp as Regina (reprising her Broadway role), Avantika as Karen, Bebe Wood as Gretchen, as well as Auli'i Cravalho as Janis, Jaquel Spivey as Damian, and Christopher Briney as heartthrob Aaron Samuels.

Directed by Arturo Perez Jr. and Samantha Jayne (who wrote both the original film and musical), the musical remake includes everything and more from the cult classic. Think Burn Book, pink on Wednesdays, girls gone wild, and — last but not least — the infamous Santa dance.

Joining the star-studded cast is Busy Phillipps as Mrs. George (who’s a cool mom, not a regular mom), Jon Hamm as Coach Carr teaching a class on safe sex, and The Office alumna Jenna Fischer playing Cady’s mother.

Could the OG Plastics make a return? Rachel McAdams, Lindsay Lohan, Lacey Chabert, and Amanda Seyfried are down to return to the world of Mean Girls. In February Entertainment Tonight, Seyfried shared that she and her former costars are "100% into" making a cameo.

"It's been a long legacy for Mean Girls, and I think we all kinda just need to hang," she told the publication.

Mark your calendars, Mean Girls hits theaters on Jan. 12.
