NBC to Bring Back HEROES With HEROES REBORN

Well, it seems 24: LIVE ANOTHER DAY has officially started a trend: NBC announced during the Olympics that HEROES will return next year as an event miniseries.

“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.”

And this is the teaser for the show that debuted during the Olympics…
