HEATHERS Series Canceled on Paramount Network

The plug has been pulled on the modern re-boot of the 80's teen homicide flick, Heathers, at the Paramount Network.

The Hollywood Reporter has reported that despite Viacom's decision not to move forward with the series at this time, they hope to shop the project elsewhere.

According to Keith Cox, the president of production and development, "The combination of a high school show with these very dark moments didn't feel right."

At this time, the first season of the show is complete, and the writing of the second season is nearly finished.

Set in the present day, "good girl" Veronica Sawyer (Grace Victoria Cox) deals with a very different but equally VICIOUS group of 'Heathers.' Heather Chandler (Melanie Field) is the unconventional leader of this popular high school clique and rules Westerburg High through fear, intimidation and amazing fashion sense. Heather Duke (Brendan Scannell) is Heather C's #1 SIDEKICK and harnesses the Heather's power to destroy whoever he views as a total discount hobgoblin. Heather McNamara (Jasmine Mathews) is considered the nicest Heather in the group who lives in the shadow of the others. She's hiding a dark secret that she doesn't want to be exposed. JD Dean (James Scully) is the new boy in town with a dark side and sets out on a reckless path of destruction proving that no one, even his girlfriend Veronica is safe.
