With four
seasons but only one worth mentioning, the first season of Tim Kring's Heroes
was a bright flash in NBC's 2006/2007 schedule, so it's no small wonder that the
network and creator have decided that the best course of action for the
upcoming event series Heroes Reborn is to emulate that but with a new set of characters
and a few returning ones.
The saga behind the 2006
breakout series “Heroes” will continue this fall as creator Tim Kring returns
to the fold and develops new layers to his original superhero concept.
This highly anticipated
13-episode event series will reconnect with the basic elements of the show’s
first season, where ordinary people were waking up to the fact that they had
extraordinary abilities.
Original cast member Jack
Coleman will reprise his role as H.R.G., Jimmy Jean-Louis returns as The
Haitian, and Masi Oka will be back as Hiro Nakamura. Also joining the cast are
Zachary Levi (of NBC’s “Chuck” and the Marvel franchise “Thor”), Ryan Guzman
(“The Boy Next Door”), Robbie Kay (“Once Upon a Time”), Danika Yarosh
(“Shameless”), Judith Shekoni (“The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2″),
Kiki Sukezane (“Death Yankee 3″), Henry Zebrowski (NBC’s “A to Z”) and Gatlin
Green (“Criminal Minds”).
With the return of “Heroes
Reborn,” NBC will launch a digital series prior to the premiere that will
introduce new characters and storylines that will take the “Heroes” phenomenon
to new places. NBC’s digital platforms, as well as Hulu and video-on-demand, will
debut the online prequel to the series prior to the show’s premiere.
Tim Kring, Peter Elkoff and
James Middleton will serve as executive producers.
