‘Heroes’ Returning As A 13 Episode Miniseries

The insanely popular show Heroes which managed to crash and burn only after a few seasons is turning as a 13 episode miniseries in 2015 to NBC. Tim Kring, the original creator, will be at the helm of the new series titled Heroes Reborn.

“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.”

If this follows the same trajectory as the original series, it’ll be the most ground-breaking first three episodes anyone will ever see and then sort of become mildly retarded as it nears the end.
