Talk of a Heathers sequel coming to the big screen have been squashed… but how about a TV version of the 1989 cult classic starring Christian Slater and Winona Ryder?

Writers have already been lined up for the project – and they’re working on how to update Heathers 20 years later. The characters of Veronica Sawyer (Ryder) and J.D. (Slater) are expected to be part of the series.

Will the 1989 Heathers’ tale of teen angst translate to the small screen though? I’m surprised they haven’t made a TV series of it before now.
