Now that all other possible subjects for television drama have been done in one way or another, Bravo are looking in other, less-ploughed areas for subjects to make entertainment out of. And after a long, hard think about what the American public might want to spend an hour a week watching, they’ve settled on a series about the 80s Cola Wars, which, on our reckoning, were almost as intense as both the Falklands conflict and the second Gulf War (respectively).

The show is said to be helmed by Andrew Hoegl, the showrunner on Flipping Out.

Bravo is developing a drama that could be billed as "Mad Men" in the '80s. According to Deadline.com, the show will be based on the Coke vs. Pepsi advertising wars. Seriously.
"Flipping Out" executive producer/showrunner Andrew Hoegl wrote the script and it'is just the latest scripted show Bravo has put in development. The network primarily known for its reality TV hits such as "The Real Housewives" franchise has been developing scripted projects for years, but none have made it to air.
A reboot of the cult-classic flick "Heathers", for example, is also in development at Bravo. The show is set in present day, 20 years after the movie left off. Veronica, played by Winona Ryder in the flick, moves back to Sherwood with her teen daughter only to encounter the Ashleys, the daughters of the surviving Heathers.

Exclusive: As Bravo is working on expanding its core unscripted lineup to include scripted programming, the cable network has teamed with the producer of one of its top reality franchises for a scripted drama.
