So, due to more highschool shootings they won't be airing the Heather's reboot.
Months after the new Heathers TV show’s premiere date was pushed back following the school shooting in Parkland, Florida, the series will no longer have a home at Paramount Network.
Explaining the reasoning behind the decision, Paramount Network president of development and production Keith Cox told The Hollywood Reporter, “We were going to air in March and hit pause and then had Santa Fe,” referencing the mass shooting in Texas last month, during which 10 people died and 13 more were injured when a 17-year-old student opened fire at the Santa Fe High School.
“This was a very difficult decision. We had multiple meetings, and in the end, we didn’t feel comfortable right now airing the series and I’m not sure when there might be a time that we as a youthful brand at Viacom would feel comfortable,” he told the outlet. “This is a bold move and we stand behind it.”
Which sucks. I mean, the show looks like crap, but in a sassy fun way. And plus, Shannon Doherty and Selma Blair? I'm sold!
