Shannen Doherrty has joined the TV Land remake of Heathers. Although her original character Heather Duke will be played by Brendan Scannell, a ‘gender-queer revamp renamed Heath’, Doherty will still appear as a new, unnamed character.
The former Beverly Hills 90210 actress took to her Instagram page, posting a photo of her in character on set with the caption, “Sneak peek from the #Heathers set……jealous much?” Check it out below.
According to trade newspaper Variety, TV Land would not confirm if she’ll be featured in a regular, recurring or guest part.
Doherty’s original character Heather Duke will be played by Brendan Scannell in the revitalized role of a man who identifies as gender-queer and whose real name is Heath; Heather McNamara (originally played by Lisanne Falk) is now a black lesbian played by Jasmine Mathews; and Heather Chandler (originally Kim Walker in the movie) will be played by Melanie Field. The revival stars newcomers James Scully and Grace Victoria Cox as J.D. and Veronica, the roles originally played by Slater and Ryder.
More as it comes in.
