Heathers reboot set to air over a week in October on the Paramount Network

Remember that whole Heather TV reboot that was coming from Paramount Network? The one that was canned? Well, you’re going to be able to watch it now. The network posted an announcement and a sneak preview for the series, which you can watch below. The announcement comes to us from Shannon Doherty, star of the original film, who lets us know that you’ll now be able to watch all nine episodes of the formerly canceled TV series in a week-long marathon event that starts on October 25.

Heathers was originally set to premiere on March 7, but was then put off out of respect for those affected by the deadly shooting in Parkland, Florida where 17 lives were lost. The show was then moved to July 10, then scrapped.

Heathers stars Grace Victoria Cox as Veronica Sawyer, James Scully as JD, Melanie Field as Heather Chandler, Brendan Scannell as Heather Duke, and Jasmine Mathews as Heather McNamara. Heathers is an hour-long pitch-black comedy anthology set in the present day, based on the 1988 cult classic film of the same name. The much-anticipated reboot perfectly blends drama, love, rivalry, and comedy into a modern-day masterpiece.

The original 1988 film version of Heather starred Winona Ryder as Veronica, a girl taken in by the social click of Heathers, and her boyfriend J.D. (Christian Slater). It was written by Daniel Waters and directed by Michael Lehmann, and was a cult hit. We’d love to hear from you on this. Are you excited to be able to watch the Heathers reboot? Do you agree with Paramount Network’s decision to air it? Let us know in the comments.
