The series was originally in development for TV Land , but it was moved to the 2018 launch slate for its re-branded sister network Paramount Network , with a premiere scheduled for March 2018 . In the wake of the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting and the program 's subject matter , Paramount Network delayed the premiere to July 2018 . However , on June 1 , 2018 , Paramount Network 's parent company Viacom dropped '' Heathers '' entirely due to continued concern for its content . Despite the premiere 's cancellation in the United States , the series had already been sold in international markets where it went on to debut as previously scheduled in its original 10 episodes version . It aired for the first time on July 11 , 2018 , on HBO Europe in select European territories
