Remember that show that aired on NBC in 2006 that was about people with powers but it didn't star any popular mutants like Wolverine or Cyclops? Y'know, Heroes? The show that had a decent opening season but became more contrived and nonsensical as the seasons went on and on. If you do and stuck with the show through its ups and downs, you'll remember that Heroes eventually got cancelled in 2010. To the dismay of many fans, it also ended on a cliffhanger. Welp, fear not pseudo X-men fans! Heroes has been reborn as Heroes. . . Reborn. NBC has decided to give the series another shot as a miniseries that will air in 2015.
“The enormous impact ‘Heroes’ had on the television landscape when it first launched in 2006 was eye-opening,” said NBC Entertainment President Jennifer Salke in a statement. “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.”
From the article, it sounds like the miniseries will be taking place after the events on Season 4 and have an all new cast. I was big fan of Heroes during Season 1. I wish I would've dropped after that though. Unfortunately, I was one of the many suckers that thought Heroes would improve as time went on but was proven wrong over and over again. With that being said, I'm doubtful that I'll end up watching this miniseries. Maybe if it receives rave reviews post-release I'll consider giving it a glance but I'm not holding my breath.
