TV Land is keeping the identity of Doherty’s character in the Heathers TV series under wraps for now, but her role is said to be a “pivotal” one.
Production on TV Land’s Heathers is underway, but no premiere date has been announced.
With the current trend of adapting movies into TV series continuing unabated, TV Land opted to hop on board the bandwagon back in September, ordering a pilot for a TV series based on Heathers.
The lead characters have previously been cast, and today brings with it another new addition to the mix: the original Heather Duke herself, Shannen Doherty.
