‘Heroes Reborn’ Will Not Have A Second Season

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: As a huge fan of Heroes initial four season run (yes, I watched it all the way through), I was beyond excited when NBC announced Heroes Reborn in February of 2014. The first series ended with an infuriating cliffhanger, and after a resolution was promised via a film, and then via comic book, and then essentially never spoken about again, I thought that surely the universe of Heroes was simply dead.

While it’s not bound to be winning any Emmy’s, I’ve been eating up everything that Heroes Reborn has to offer thus far, and I was beyond excited about the prospects of the series continuing.

Sadly (well, for me anyways), it looks like this will be the end for our Heroes, new and old, as NBC chairman Bob Greenblatt told THR that a second season has not even been discussed: “That was always the plan, unless Tim woke up one day and said, ‘Oh, I have another chapter to tell.’ But I think we’re coming to the end of the world, maybe. Stay tuned.”

THR pressed, noting that series creator Tim Kring has been vocal about continuing this universe, only for Greenblatt to reiterate that “He didn’t say that to me, so I haven’t heard that. As far as I know, there’s no more incarnations of Heroescoming.”

Colour me disappointed. Heroes Reborn isn’t even close to being the best superhero-oriented show on television, but I’ll be damned if I don’t love it anyways. Have you been enjoying the series thus far? What do you hope for its conclusion? Sound out below!

New ‘Heroes Reborn’ Promo Shows A World Without Claire

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: As a huge fan of Heroes initial four season run (yes, I watched it all the way through), I was beyond excited when NBC announced Heroes Reborn in February of last year. The first series ended with an infuriating cliffhanger, and after a resolution was promised via a film, and then via comic book, and then essentially never spoken about again, I thought that surely the universe of Heroes was simply dead.

And then Heroes Reborn was announced, and people like Jack Coleman and Masi Oka were confirmed to return, and I’ve pretty much been squealing with anticipation ever since.

We’re now just a few days away from Heroes Reborn‘s special double-length premiere, and NBC has just debuted a new promo that shows the aftermath of a world-changing event, and a future in which Claire Bennet is long dead.

Shit’s gonna get real.

Take a look at the promo below, and let us know what you hope to see in the event series!

We’re fast approaching Heroes Reborn‘s September 24th premiere date, and NBC has just debuted two cool new promos for the upcoming event series. Both feature a classic Mohinder voiceover that really bring me back to high school.

Today, NBC debuted a brand new poster for the series, which showcases much of the series’ new cast, while leaving out any of our alumni aside from Noah Bennet.

Weird. Where’s Hiro?

SDCC 2015: The Full Trailer For ‘Heroes: Reborn’ Is Here, And Makes Us Nostalgic As Hell!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: As a huge fan of Heroes initial four season run (yes, I watched it all the way through), I was beyond excited when NBC announced Heroes Reborn in February of last year. The first series ended with an infuriating cliffhanger, and after a resolution was promised via a film, and then via comic book, and then essentially never spoken about again, I thought that surely the universe of Heroes was simply dead, and we’d never, ever see what happened when Claire Bennet revealed herself to the world.

And then Heroes Reborn was announced, and people like Jack Coleman and Masi Oka were confirmed to return, and I’ve pretty much been squealing with anticipation ever since.

During the insanity that is San Diego Comic-Con, NBC released the first full trailer for Heroes: Reborn, which answers some key questions, and raises a few of its own (mainly, “Where are the heroes?”).

Yep, Reborn is set five years after the finale, and it’s also in the same world where Claire revealed herself. This means that everyone knows of these super-human individuals, and naturally, everyone hates them.

We also see that the series looks to largely focus on Jack Coleman’s Noah Bennett, who looks beyond broken after what happened to his daughter, and no longer wears his trademark horn-rimmed glasses.

All in all, the series looks bad-ass, and I couldn’t be more excited to return to this world that I had long given up on. Whether the series can bring back the lustre of Heroes debut season, or will end up more like the atrocity that was season three, I cannot wait to see these old friends again.

Take a look at the trailer below, and be sure to let us know what you think! Heroes: Reborn premieres on September 24th!

Where Are The Heroes: Watch A New Teaser For ‘Heroes Reborn’

Today, NBC debuted a new teaser for the series, and while it doesn’t feature any actual footage, it certainly sets the tone for a somber drama.

I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait. I’m also fully expecting to be really disappointed in the reboot, but we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it, won’t we?

Jimmy Jean-Louis To Reprise The Haitian Role In ‘Heroes Reborn’

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Late last month we saw our first cast photo from NBC’s Heroes Reborn, and today we received word that another fan favourite character from the original series will reprise his role in the upcoming reboot.

Deadline has learned that Jimmy Jean-Louis will again portray The Haitian in the series. His character appeared in all four seasons of Heroes, and work alongside Jack Coleman’s Noah Bennett. The Haitian held the ability to erase memories, and it was a power that was used often in the original show.

Little (nothing) is known about the plot of Heroes Reborn at this point, but the Tim Kring produced series is slated to launch this Fall.

Are you looking forward to Heroes Reborn? Or did the final act of the original series turn you off this world forever? Sound out below!

It Begins: Here’s The First Cast Photo From ‘Heroes Reborn’

Today, newcomer Zachary Levi tweeted out the first cast photo from the 13-episode series (minus Masi Oka), and the return of one of my favourite shows (at least during a few of my teenage years) feels all the more real. Take a look at the photo below, and be sure to let us know if you’re looking forward to Heroes Reborn!

Yep, it’s really happening.

‘Heroes Reborn’ Gets A Barely-There Teaser!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Originally announced back in February of 2014, NBC has debuted the very first teaser for their upcoming 13-episode reboot of Heroes, titled Heroes Reborn.

The teaser clearly features footage shot just for the teaser, as the series has not yet entered production. In the short video, we see returning star Jack Coleman, and new coming Zachary Levi… and some powers (duh).

Take a look at the teaser below, and let us know what you think! Heroes Reborn is set to premiere sometime in 2015!

HRG Returns: Jack Coleman Boards NBC’s ‘Heroes Reborn’

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: We were all pretty excited back in February when out of the blue NBC announced that they were bringing Heroes back for a 12-episode miniseries called Heroes Reborn.

Since then, we haven’t heard too much (anything) about the project, aside from the fact that the series would feature both new and returning characters. Today we got word of our first returning character: Jack Coleman as Noah Bennet / HRG.

Details are still scarce on the miniseries, but we’ll be sure to keep you updated as we learn more. What other Heroes alumni would you like to see return for Reborn? Sound out below!

NBC Announces ‘Heroes Reborn’ For 2015!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: I definitely was not expecting to read this tonight (or ever), but NBC has just announced that Heroes will return in 2015.

The reborn series, fittingly titled Heroes Reborn, boasts original creator Tim Kring at the helm, and will be a self-contained 13-episode arc. No word yet on which character’s we’ll see return for the new series.

Take a look at the full press release below, and head further down for the series’ first teaser.

An iconic series that still commands a rabid fan base, “Heroes” will return to the network in 2015 as an event miniseries with original creator and executive producer Tim Kring at the helm, it was announced today by NBC Entertainment President Jennifer Salke.

 

NBC has ordered 13 episodes for a new stand-alone story arc entitled “Heroes Reborn,” with all details of storylines and characters being kept under wraps.

 

“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.”

 

The original series chronicled the life-changing stories of a series of unrelated ordinary people who discovered they had superhuman abilities. As the saga unfolded, they learned they were part of a grand plan that brought them together to change the world.

 

With the return of “Heroes Reborn,” NBC will launch a digital series prior to the 2015 premiere that will introduce the characters and new storylines. This leveraging of social media is a way for fans to re-engage with what was one for the true pioneers in multiplatform storytelling.

 

#HeroesReborn

 

The iconic sci-fi series, which ran on NBC from 2006-10 and was an immediate hit, ranked as television’s #1 new drama with an average audience of 14.5 million viewers during its initial season. The show was Golden Globe-nominated in its first year of eligibility for best drama series; it won the BAFTA Award for best international series, the AFI Award, the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films Saturn Award, two People’s Choice Awards and the Television Critics Association Award for Program of the Year.

 

“Heroes” remains one of the best-selling TV series on DVD of all time with more than 10 million units sold.

Excited? I sure am. Even through Heroes low points, I remained a fan, and damn that fourth season cliffhanger! I was very disappointed that the concluding film (and then comic) never came to light, so I’m very hopefully that this new series will give us some closure.
