Tina Fey puts a full stop on ‘Mean Girls’

Tina Fey has "promised" there will be no more Mean Girls iterations that would be made.

The 55-year-old star wrote the 2004 film and collaborated with her husband, Jeff Richmond, on the 2018 spin-off stage musical, which itself was turned into a film in 2024.

Tina explained how she wanted to offer an honest look at female friendships in high school, she joked fans shouldn't expect another version of the same story in the future.

Speaking to Damian Holbrook at the HISTORYTalks event at the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts in Philadelphia last month, PEOPLE magazine reports she said, "We always, in every iteration, tried to honour the source material, which is like a sociology book about how to help girls through relational aggression and behaviors like that.”

"It's like, yes, everyone loves the Plastics. They have the best outfits. We don't want to emulate them, ultimately. We want to pay attention to the fact that their behaviour does take them down,” the actress added.

"I promise there are no more iterations coming,” Tina assured.

The actress, who played teacher Ms. Norbury is both movies, believes the key to the popularity of Mean Girls is that every actor involved in any of the projects has "always" brought a "3D humanity to those characters."

"I think that's what's made that movie so lasting,” she added.

Tina previously admitted she and co-star Tim Meadows, who played Principal Duvall, agreed to return for the Mean Girls musical movie after they were told they didn't have to sing.

She told PEOPLE magazine at that time, "I am reprising my role as Ms. Norbury because we thought, well, teachers work for a long time. So, it might make sense if Tim and I did it.

"So, I called Tim and I was like, 'Will you do it? I'll do it if you do it.' And we said yes, as long as we don't have to sing,” the Sisters actress recalled.

Tina Fey relished working with the 65-year-old actor, who previously reprised his role in Mean Girls 2, again.

"It was fun. It's been nice to see Tim. One of us has aged — the other one of us is Tim Meadows! But it's been really nice to get to work with Tim again,” she said of working with her co-star Tim.
