‘Jawbreaker’ was released over 25 years ago and followed the story of three high school girls who accidentally kill their best friend. It starred Rose McGowan, Rebecca Gayheart, Julie Benz, Judy Greer and Tatyana Ali.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the film was written and directed by Darren Stein and earned $3.1 million at the box office, slightly below its $3.5 million budget.

Back in 2017, a TV series based on ‘Jawbreaker’ was announced, with Stein returning to write the show. The series, which was supposed to follow a new group of girls in Beverly Hills, never made it to screen. (ANI)
