The series was initially set to debut on March 7 , 2018 . However , on February 28 , 2018 , it was announced that the premiere would be delayed in light of the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting . Paramount Network released a statement explaining their decision saying , " Paramount Network 's original series '' Heathers '' is a satirical comedy that takes creative risks in dealing with many of society 's most challenging subjects ranging from personal identity to race and socio-economic status to gun violence . While we stand firmly behind the show , in light of the recent tragic events in Florida and out of respect for the victims , their families and loved ones , we feel the right thing to do is delay the premiere until later this year . " On March 14 , 2018 , Viacom suspended programming across all of its networks , including Paramount Network , for 17 minutes due to its support of student-led protests and campaigns that emerged in the wake of the Stoneman Douglas shootings
