'Mean Girls' Cast Reunites for Walmart's Black Friday Commercial Campaign

Reprising their roles almost 20 years later, Lindsay Lohan, Amanda Seyfried, Lacey Chabert and others star in the retail giant's holiday campaign ads, providing a "Mean Girls" sequel experience for fans.

Lindsay Lohan, Amanda Seyfried, Lacey Chabert and other stars from 'Mean Girls' recently reunited for a Walmart Black Friday commercial campaign. The commercial portrays their characters as adults and echoes many iconic scenes from the original 2004 movie.
In the ad, Lindsay Lohan's character, Cady Heron, is now North Shore High School’s guidance counselor; Lacey Chabert character, Gretchen Wieners, is a 'cool mom' of a new popular girl in school, and Amanda Seyfried's character, Karen Smith, is a weather reporter.
The Walmart campaign will release a new commercial featuring the stars every Wednesday leading up to Black Friday and on Cyber Monday, teasing the release of another Mean Girls-themed commercial.
The original Mean Girls film was a major hit in 2004, grossing $130 million at the box office and has since become a cultural phenomenon. An official sequel, featuring an entirely new cast, was released as a television film in 2011, but it did not receive the same acclaim.
This reunion comes ahead of the planned release of a movie adaption of the Mean Girls Broadway musical in 2024. However, it has been speculated that the original ‘Mean Girls’ cast won't appear in the big screen adaptation since their roles will be played by different actors.
