NBC to Revive Heroes With 13-Episode Miniseries — Will Any of the Original Cast Return? February 22, 2014 07:24 PM PST
The Peacock network has ordered 13 episodes of a new standalone arc titled Heroes Reborn, with all storyline and character details currently being kept under wraps. The miniseries will air sometime in 2015, preceded by a web series that will introduce the characters and new storylines. The following teaser ran during NBC’s coverage of Saturday’s Winter Olympics: “The enormous impact Heroes had on the television landscape when it first launched in 2006 was eye-opening,” NBC Entertainment President Jennifer Salke said in announcing the project. “Shows with that kind of resonance don’t come around often and we thought it was time for another installment. “We’re thrilled that visionary creator Tim Kring was as excited about jumping back into this show as we were and we look forward to all the new textures and layers Tim plans to add to his original concept,” Salke continued. “Until we get closer to air in 2015, the show will be appropriately shrouded in secrecy, but we won’t rule out the possibility of some of the show’s original cast members popping back in.” The news comes 10 months after TVLine reported that MSN was pondering a conti...the series as part of a push for its Xbox platform.

   "We just let people talk & say whatever they want 2 say. 9 times out of 10, trust me, what's out there now, I wouldn't give nary one of these folks the time of day. That's why I don't say anything back, because there's so much that's wrong" - P, Dec '15 | |

Heroes started out great and was a lot of fun but the writers strike killed it. Casting is gonna be a bitch though. The Most Important Thing In Life Is Sincerity....Once You Can Fake That, You Can Fake Anything. |

If it's just 13 episodes then yeah they need to wrap it up. They need to bring back as many of the original cast as possible. I always thought they should have made some movies to kind of end the series kinda like how firefly did. |

With a different showrunner they could probably spin this off into a new series that would perform better than NBC's average. If you rewatch season 1 episodes it's clear Kring's show was shit from the beginning though. | |

I stopped watching when it started to become a trainwreck, season 2 writers strike and all, but according to the avclub site it got incredibly shitty. The Most Important Thing In Life Is Sincerity....Once You Can Fake That, You Can Fake Anything. |
