In the new version, it’s the rebellious outliers who are popular — though still incredibly mean.
The Paramount Network (formerly known as Spike TV) has officially announced its decision to delay the premiere of its Heathers reboot — based on the 1988 cult classic — in the wake of the recent horrific school shooting in Parkland, Florida.
In response to Paramount Network’s decision, New York Times critic James Poniewozik tweeted, “Critics who saw screeners of the fifth episode will not be particularly surprised.”
Although Heathers had not yet premiered, a handful of episodes were sent out to journalists for review.
