Bravo set to adapt 'Heathers' as a scripted series

heathers

Veronica Sawyer is coming to Bravo!

No, she’s not a Real Housewifejust yet, but Bravo has announced that they want you to watch what happens as they delve into scripted television with a series based on the 1988 teen classic, Heathers. The show will take place in the present day, and will have Veronica (the Winona Ryder character from the film) move back to Sherwood with her teenage daughter. The daughter must deal with a new generation of high school drama in the form of the Plastics“Ashleys,” the daughters of the surviving Heathers.

The show is being executive produced by Mark Rizzo (The Man Date, Zip) and Jenny Bicks(The Big C, Men In Trees).

But that’s not all of Bravo’s scripted series news: The network is also development The Apartment, a drama about two siblings who “rent out [their late mother's] beautiful Upper West Side apartment to people who want a private space to have their own extra-marital affairs,” according to a press release.

Ugh. No thank you. The premise sounds awful and what made Heathers genius was how incredibly brutal it was. Nobody has the balls to be that dark anymore.

Especially in a tv show. The hell are they gonna do every episode?

Nhf some typical high school drama crap.

Yeah, this is basically just going to be Mean Girls under another name.

Exactly. Are they going to murder a classmate every week?

I dunno, in the tv show Revenge she starts off killing/damaging some people then it all arcs out from there so they could do the same with this maybe.

I think they'll just be "up to mischief."

It would be much more interesting if the Heathers' daughters were the nice girls and Veronica's kid was the monster, but then that would take creativity.

its just gonna be pretty little liars x gossip girl tbh can we have a show that is not about backstabbing teen girls in kool outfits

Maybe. But I bet they'll save the repressed homosexual suicide pacts for sweeps week.

I've wanted a really dark, adult "teen" show on cable forever. If they really went for it without backing down, it could be so good. If they have the balls.

yeah, especially when it is only going to be on Bravo and not even premium cable.
