In 2006 werd het eerste aflevering van Heroes uit gezonden en werd de slogan Save the Cheerleader, Save the World een popculture verwijzing. Het eerste seizoen was alles waar wij comic geeks, nerds en nerdettes van droomde, en sloeg helaas snel over in cliché en ging totaal over de top heen dat er geen hond meer naar keek en werd de show in 2010 uit zijn lijden verlost. Maar goed nieuws voor de fans, want vandaag is bekend geworden dat NBC 13 episodes van Heroes Reborn heeft besteld en dat Tim Kring (spier) deze gaat maken. Please let it be good!!

Save the cheerleader, save NBC? Well, probably not, but the network is bringing back Heroes either way. I'm not kidding! The Peacock has ordered 13 episodes of Heroes: Reborn, an "event miniseries" that'll be helmed by original Heroes creator Tim Kring and air sometime in 2015.

For those who aren't familiar with the superhero drama's storied past, a brief history: Heroes was an instant hit when it debuted in 2006, but faltered late in its first season and never really recovered. The series ultimately ran for four uneven seasons; NBC canceled the show in 2010, and for awhile there was talk of a made-for-TV movie that would wrap up loose storylines, but it never materialized.

So far, details on Heroes: Reborn are few and far between, and they'll probably remain that way for some time, according to an official statement from NBC Entertainment President Jennifer Salke: "Until we get closer to air in 2015, the show will be appropriately shrouded in secrecy," she said, "but we won't rule out the possibility of some of the show's original cast members popping back in."
