The Heathers are the aspirational characters.
The villain is J.D.
and thats the same in the movie and same in our show.
Today, all different types of people are more aspirational.
Of course, no ones seen the show yet.
Once they see it, I think theyll get what were talking about.
So our modern retelling of it, weve got traditionally marginalized communities.
Weve got a black Heather, a plus-sized Heather, a queer Heather.
These communities still face discrimination.
People arent really prepared for where we go in the series which I think is a good thing.
Even the cast who read the script and were obviously there were shocked by the finale.
Heatherspremieres March 7 at 10 p.m. on Paramount.
