I’m an easy sell when it comes to ABC Family’s original movies. Made-for-TV movies are among my TV guilty pleasures and most of the ABC Family original movies that I've seen have been charming and amusing. I’m especially looking forward to the Mean Girls sequel that’s set to premiere later this month. We have trailers, clips and the anti-bullying PSA that’s set to air during the broadcast for you to check out in anticipation of the premiere.

ABC Family’s Mean Girls event is set to take place on January 23rd. Below are the trailers, which advertise the airing of the original movie, starring Rachel McAdams and Lindsay Lohan and then the premiere of the made-for-TV sequel.

Will the new Plastics measure up to the mean standards set by Regina George, Gretchen and Karen? I don’t know but I’m expecting this sequel to be totally fetch.

Here’s the description ABC Family released on Mean Girls 2 and further down are some clips.

Mean Girls 2 stars Meaghan Martin (10 Things I Hate About You, Camp Rock 1 & 2), Maiara Walsh (Desperate Housewives), Jennifer Stone (Wizards of Waverly Place), Nicole Gale Anderson (Make It or Break It), Claire Holt (H20: Just Add Water) and Diego Boneta (Pretty Little Liars) in a classic high school story about good versus plastic. When new girl Jo (Martin) arrives at North Shore High School, her main goal is to skate under the radar to survive her senior year and definitely not get involved in any of the typical high school trappings. But her plan goes awry quickly when she meets Abby (Stone), a girl stuck at the low end of the high school food chain and favorite target of “The Plastics” (Walsh, Holt and Anderson). After defending Abby against the queen bee of the school and lead Plastic, Mandi (Walsh), Jo is dragged into the very same girl drama she was hoping to avoid. Tim Meadows returns as the school’s principal, Mr. Duvall.

And, here’s the Anti-bullying Public Service Announcement that’s set to air during the broadcast.

Mean Girls 2 airs Sunday, January 23 at 8:00PM ET/PM on ABC Family
