Pasadena -- TV Land has ordered anthology series Heathers to series, the network announced during its Television Critics Association presentation Friday.

The 10-episode series, based on the 1988 film of the same name, will debut this fall. Shannen Doherty, who starred in the movie, will guest star in the series in a pivotal, unnamed character role, according to the network.

"Our take on Heathers is a cinematic, surprising and twisted comedy that gives a wonderful nod to the film while also creating something entirely on its own,” said Keith Cox, president of development and production for TV Land in a statement.

Cox also announced that the network has greenlit a second season of Nobodies prior to the March 29 debut of the series. The Melissa McCarthy/Ben Falcone-produced series will premiere its second season in 2018, said the network.

TV Land will go ahead with Melissa McCarthy’s comedy series Nobodies, greenlighting a 12-episode freshman season, the network said Thursday.

The series stars Hugh Davidson, Larry Dorf and Rachel Ramras as friends who look to become famous in Hollywood by getting their feature script produced. The three actors along with McCarthy, Ben Falcone and Michael McDonald will serve as executive producers for the series, according to TV Land.

“The initial pitch for Nobodies was really funny, and man, did they ever deliver a pilot that is so honest and bold that it’ll make you laugh and cringe at the same time,” said Keith Cox, Executive Vice President, Development and Original Programming TV Land in a statement.
