Besides seeing another great show, show some great news in paper today.
Show was renewed; with 30 episodes!!!
24 will be regular shows while the other 6 are titled Heroes:Origins.
And it seems as viewer will be not only able to vote but somehow have a
hand in the direction the show goes.
This is from Variety today.
NBC announces schedule, shows
'Heroes' gets second series
By MICHAEL SCHNEIDER
While the focus this spring centered on ABC's "Grey's Anatomy"spin-off, NBC
was quietly developing one of their own - and announced this morning that
"Heroes" has spawned a second series of its own."Heroes: Origins" will air in
"Heroes'" Monday night time slot when that smash hit takes a hiatus. The net has
ordered six segs of "Origins," which, combined with "Heroes," makes for 30 hours
altogether.
"Heroes: Origins" will center on characters not yet seen on the original
show. Peacock has also added an interactive element to the show: Viewers will be
asked to pick their favorite character from "Origins," who will then join the
cast of the full-blown "Heroes" skein the following year.
The initiative to keep the "Heroes" franchise in originals for as long as
possible harkens back to the golden age of TV, when series aired 39 weeks worth
of originals, then took a break.
