NBC'S HEROES REBORN IN 2015
NBC is bringing back Heroes in 2015, announcing its has ordered 13 episodes for a new stand-alone story arc entitled Heroes Reborn.
The network said it is keeping all details of storylines and characters "under wraps."
Original Heroes creator and executive producer Tim Kring will be at the helm of the new show..
"The enormous impact Heroes had on the television landscape when it first launched in 2006 was eye-opening," said NBC Entertainment president Jennifer Salke. "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. 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."
With Heroes Reborn, NBC will launch a digital series prior to the 2015 premiere that will introduce the characters and new storylines. T
Heroes aired on NBC from 2006-10 and had an average audience of 14.5 million viewers in its initial season.
