Based on the 1988 cult classic movie of the same name, this pitch-black satirical comedy series is set in the present day. It features a group of all-new Heathers, whose character names are the same as in the film, but the outcasts this time are the popular high school students. Heroine Veronica Sawyer struggles as she deals with this very different but equally vicious clique of Heathers. Her life then takes a disturbing turn when she meets a transfer student named J.D. Original "Heathers" cast member Shannen Doherty guest stars along with Selma Blair and Casey Wilson.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Despite promising performers, Heathers' aspirational angst is let down by its blunt, misguided attempts at social commentary.

Just roasting teens for no clear reason. Go to Full Review Troy Patterson The New Yorker 10/26/2018
The show is painfully sharp in its portrayal of the way grief is performed on social media and I.R.L. It is similarly brutal in its lampooning of national deformities. Go to Full Review Brad Newsome Sydney Morning Herald 09/26/2018
The casting is perfect...and the scripts pay bulk homage to the original. Well worth checking out. Go to Full Review Juan Barquin Primetimer 03/28/2024
In a world where Ryan Murphy continues to churn out lackluster social commentary through myriad monstrosities on the interminable American Horror Story, Jason Micallef gave us a series that actually had something to say... Go to Full Review Ani Bundel NBC News THINK 02/01/2019
Considering the 2018 landscape, it's possible a darker reboot could have worked if handled delicately. Sadly, Paramount took the opposite approach. Go to Full Review Graeme McMillan The Verge 11/01/2018
Flipping the original version's script without understanding any of its messages was always going to be a problem. Bringing it into such a radically changed world was even worse. The show was doomed from the start. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Mimi M Jan 22 I don’t hate it but it scraped it off all of the original ideas. I loved the dark humor and how it I guess showed the not so best side of high school and social standards. But this reboot scratched it. Honestly why do we have this 1989 was perfect. See more Zachary K. @ZacharyKing Dec 5 An offensive and patronizing attempt to reboot a beloved classic, with bad acting and poor writing. I have nothing against reboots, I enjoyed phantom menace and oceans eight, this was just a travesty. This show assaulted my senses and left me in a state of perpetual agony, my disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined. 2/10 See more Spooky Crumbles M 09/25/2024 In an attempt to update the material for a generation engrossed in social media, the show fails to recognize what made the 1988 film work. This variation of Heathers is a menagerie of poorly written characters, desultory plotting, and unfunny dialogue. Why did we need another Heathers, anyway? See more isa e 05/23/2023 seriously, has every person with an original idea been deported? what a putrid mess this was, at least gave a lead role to the embarrassingly obese, and checked other DEI poxes with 0 thought to talent See more 08/14/2021 Loved every single episode, when is season 2? See more 06/18/2021 The only thing I liked in this show was the poster. See more Read all reviews
