HEROES returns to network television on September 15th with a THREE HOUR PREMIERE!! NO JOKE!! The first hour will be a catch up type episode while the following two hours will be like “a massive two hour Heroes Film”. The planned Heroes: Origins TV Spinoff series has been cancelled for now.
“We were taxing our creative team to do too much around that,” Silverman said at the NBC upfront presentation to advertisers in New York yesterday. “We wanted 35 Heroes [episodes] and 12 Heroes: Origins, each of which was supposed to be a mini-movie and backdoor pilot. We reached far and challenged our people, and we decided it was better to focus on keeping the Heroes mothership as strong as possible.”
