The TV reboot of Heathers has been scrapped by Paramount Network in the wake of school shootings across the United States.
Despite Cox having distanced the network from the Heathers reboot, sources tell THR that Paramount initially believed in the series so much they almost renewed it for a second season before the first had aired.
While initially planned to debut on Spike TV in March, the satirical anthology series was delayed indefinitely following the deadly Florida school shootings that left 17 dead.
“This is a high school show, we’re blowing up the school, there are guns in the school, it’s a satire and there are moments of teachers having guns,” Cox told the publication.
