HEROES Returning in 2015 For "REBORN" Mini-Series

 

Those watching the Winter Olympics got a special treat as NBC aired a special promo for HEROES Reborn, a sequel mini-series to their 2006 show about an event that granted humans super-heroic abilities, being hunted by the brain-eating Sylar (Zachary Quinto).

NBC then released a statement:

Heroes Reborn is set to make its debut in 2015 as an “event miniseries” with original creator and executive producer Tim Kring in charge of its rebirth. The show has a 13-episode order.

“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 press release.

She continued, “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.”

I quit watching after Season 2; but the program's first season was great televison. Who else is excited?
