The 1980s cult classic The Heathers is set for a small-screen makeover following the Bravo network’s recent acquisition of the rights to the show.
The film was released in 1988 and starred Winona Ryder as Veronica, who leads a group of mean-spirited popular girls at Westerburg high school known as The Heathers.
The reboot will take place in the present day, picking up 20 years from where the film left off. Veronica moves back to Sherwood with her teenage daughter, who enters high school to deal with the next generation of mean girls, the Ashleys, who happen to be the daughters of the surviving Heathers.
Mark Rizzo, known for the Man Date, and Jenny Bicks will executive produce the upcoming series.
Andrew Wang, the network’s vice president for scripted development and production, said in a statement. “We’re excited to partner with such high calibre talent in developing TV that pushes boundaries conceptually and thematically while still telling a fun story in the way that our audiences have come to expect from us.”
Bravo are currently in negotiations for casting the major roles.
