NBC To Bring Back ‘Heroes’ As 13-Episode Event Miniseries In 2015
BY NELLIE ANDREEVA | Saturday February 22, 2014 @ 7:23pm PST

On the heels of Fox reviving its iconic serialized drama 24 as an event miniseries, NBC is doing the same with one of its most popular dramas of the past decade, superhero* Heroes . Creator Tim Kring is back shepherding the 13-episode new standalone arc entitled Heroes: Reborn, which will air in 2015.
The original series chronicled intertwined stories of unrelated ordinary people who discovered they had superhuman abilities learned they were part of a grand plan that brought them together to change the world. Heroes Reborn will feature a new group of characters, though “we won’t rule out the possibility of some of the show’s original cast members popping back in,” NBC Entertainment president Jennifer Salke said.*The characters and storylines from Heroes Reborn will be introduced in a digiral series, which will launch prior to the TV miniseries.* NBC made the Heroes Reborn announcement during its Olympics coverage tonight with the following promo:

Interesting I never saw the first series, but I will tune in and see how I like it.

I stopped watching Heroes after the 2nd season because it got so bad. I thought the first half of S1 was incredible though. The writers were great with the build-up but sucked at executing the ending.

[Raph's Girl]

So is this like a next gen type thing?? I hope they don't have to save another cheerleader.

Yeah, or stop another exploding man. I loved Heroes enough to buy all the season sets, so I think I'll watch this next gen take. Aw why not? I hope this 13 episode miniseries event/comeback thing catches on. There are quite a few shows I'd love to see revisited. Hated the way they ended Heroes, so I hope they attempt to wrap up a few things. I doubt it since this follows different characters, but I'll at least allow myself the privilege of dreaming just a little.

I hope Sylar has a cameo, he's the freaking best!!!!

[ZariusTwo]

Here's hoping it's a bit more restrained this time. This show went off the rails so darn quickly, and only bounced back in terms of quality in small doses here and there in later seasons.

That said, Kring isnt a bad appal and Touch was brilliant, so maybe he'll deliver the old magic this time around

[Candy Kappa]

Good for them, I hope it doesn't suck as Heroes did beyond season 1. Never heard of X-Men, ya right.

[BubblyShell22]

Whoo Hoo! Yeah, Mom told me about this, and I'm so stoked. I thought the first wave got weird in the final season, and that it ended on a note that didn't feel like a series finale. Glad to hear the original cast may make appearances, and I do hope it ties up the loose ends that were present in the final season. Can't wait for this.

[ObiWanFan4life]

Good to know, hopefully it won't be a chaotic mess.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

I only watched up to the first half of season two, so I don't know how it ended. But I will definitely keep an eye out for this when it comes out!

[zkarlette]

Heroes used to be one of my favorite shows until it became really stale and suddenly everybody had powers and it became rather confusing and boring. It would be cool if the show has a better story this time around.

[Raph's Girl]

Looks like Greg Grunberg is returning as Matt Parkman.

[BubblyShell22]

Awesome. I really liked how he could hear people's thoughts.

[Raph's Girl]

New trailer. Just so weird seeing Robbie Kay in this after his stint as the eeeeevil Peter Pan. But hey! It's Masi Oka so all is well with the world. :D

The show returns Sept 24th. There's gonna be a panel at Comic Con with Greg Gunberg moderating.

[Leofan26]

Man that looks boss, I'll check it out. Who coppied Peters words though? That hurts man :(

Hopefully Milo takes backs his words and makes a couple of cameos if we get a second season, he's got right? Him and Hiro were our savers of Earth :(

FYI I bet Zach's character gains ability's in the end, it'd come into full circle for his character :lol:

[BubblyShell22]

Sounds like it'll be awesome. Can't wait for it for sure.

[Autbot_Benz]

How long will this show be on before NBC Cancels it like they did Community Constantine and Hannibal. **** NBC:x

Considering it's a mini-series event it's already cancelled. :P Unless it gets renewed like Galavant did...

[BubblyShell22]

Yeah, I think this is just a min-series thing and not meant to be anything else unless it becomes such a hit with viewers that they renew it. And if they did that, I'd be all for it.

[Raph's Girl]

New trailer was shown at comic con. Apparantly the powered people are known as Evo's. Weird. They're being hunted down but the Evo population keeps on rising.

I watched all of the original series recently and I thought it was a good show. I loved the characterisation, storylines and acting. It was like a cross between Lost, 24 and Buffy. Season one was the best. The later seasons weren't as good. Two was decent, though. The show got a bit boring and weird in seasons three and four, but they're a fun guilty pleasure to watch, for me anyway. In my opinion, the cliffhanger ending was alright. The series still ended with some good closure.

The new trailer at comic con was awesome. It's nice that some of the original cast will be making a few cameos, but I'm glad that the new miniseries is going to focus on new group of characters this time, as the old cast were milked to death by the end of the original series. Heroes Reborn looks promising.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

So who else is watching this tonight? It's pretty interesting so far, I'm especially liking Ken and Miko's plot, and the in-game world she goes to is cool! So far, so good!

[BubblyShell22]

The guy's name is Ren, not Ken, but yeah, I like Miko the best out of all of the newbies. I really do like this show so far, and I hope it gets renewed. Still had the spirit of the old show while introducing new stuff as well. Definitely can't wait for more of this for sure.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Whoops. Typo. you're right, it was Ren, but the subtitles went by so fast it was hard to read and I must've misread it.

[BubblyShell22]

Yeah, they did go by pretty fast. I had a hard time reading them sometimes, but I was able to catch enough of it.

[ZariusTwo]

They won't be making any more.
