In this time of social change and upheaval of what has come before, a TV remake of Heathers, the pitch black Michael Lehmann comedy from 1989, makes some sense. High school has always been a melting pot of extremes, and this new Heathers makes sure all walks of life are mentioned in this salty trailer.
Check it out, and remember this is NSFW:
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.
At least it looks like they’ve tweaked the original plot line from when this project announced, which involved three different Heathers all being different social representations and being the brunt of the bullying, or something… it was weird, and it was headed to TV Land. Now, it’s moved to Paramount’s TV station and the offensive material has been… curbed? The Heathers are still diverse, but this reboot has more on its mind at least. Maybe. Who knows.
This new version of the cult classic will be on the new Paramount Network, which used to be Spike TV I believe. It will debut March 7.
