While it may never have been able to reach the popularity of "Mean Girls" or the heights of "Heathers", the Darren Stein-directed black comedy "Jawbreaker" has managed to maintain a cult following nearly 20 years after its release. Judy Greer and Rose McGowan both provided some very delightful performances in the movie which is already considered a cult classic.

Fans of the movie will be happy to know that "Jawbreaker" will be rebooted into a TV series, according to a report from Deadline. Stein will be on board to co-write the upcoming TV series. The original movie premiered in 1999 and stars Rose McGowan, Judy Greer and Julie Benz as high school teenagers who are trying to hide the accidental murder of their friend who accidentally choked to death on a jawbreaker that they had stuffed into her mouth as part of a prank.

The TV adaptation will follow a new circle of friends who are trying to hide the accidental death of their frenemy at a bachelorette party. This will set in motion a series of events wherein the young women will go to great lengths to cover up their dark secret. If the project were to push through, then Universal Cable Productions - E!'s sister studio - will most likely be co-producing it with Sony.

The original film was often compared to "Heathers" which is where it got its inspiration from. Both movies have plots that are almost similar as they involve a clique of popular high school girls who accidentally kill one of their members. The 2004 teen comedy "Mean Girls" has also drawn some comparisons to "Jawbreaker", although the former does not involve the accidental death of a person in its plot, but rather focus on a popular all-female clique in high school.

According to Yahoo, reboots of films are still in high demand as many cable, broadcast, and streaming outlets are looking to gain some footing in an industry that already has nearly 500 original series. One of the keys to these remakes is having the original materials' producers get involved with the project in some capacity, which is why Stein has been asked to help write for the show.
