NBC has announced that one of the most iconic TV series, Heroes, will be returning in 2015 as a 13-episode miniseries.
Executively Produced by Tim Kring, Heroes Reborn will be a standalone story arc, and while we do not know much about the plot or character, the retainment of Kring, who is the series creator, bodes well.

NBC plans to leverage social media and launch a digital series prior to the show’s premier to unveil the “characters and new storylines”. When discussing the launch of Heroes Reborn, NBC Entertainment President, Jennifer Salke, said:
The enormous impact ‘Heroes’ had on the television landscape when it first launched in 2006 was eye-opening. 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.
