The “Heathers” reboot slated to hit TV screens later this year has been scrapped, owing largely to the mass school shootings that have been happening all over the U.S. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the series reboot of the 1980s film was scrapped from Viacom’s Paramount Network, formerly known as Spike TV. The series was poised to play off the original film’s plot, where a student gets revenge on popular teens with fatal consequences. The show’s initial airdate had been pushed back from March 7 after the tragic Feb. 14 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, that left 17 dead.
