Heroes Reborn Again? Second Reboot in the Works From Creator Tim Kring

No, you’re not experiencing déjà vu. Heroes really is staging another comeback.

Heroes: Eclipsed, a new iteration of the much discussed sci-fi series, is in the works from creator Tim Kring, TVLine has confirmed. Per our sister site Deadline, who was first to report, the project is set years after the events of the original show’s series finale and centers on new Evos being awakened and discovering their life-altering powers.

This comes after 2015’s Heroes Reborn, the franchise’s first reboot, which saw Jack Coleman reprise his original series role as Noah Bennett. The 13-episode limited series followed a different group of Evos who were targeted by the U.S. government, which blamed them for a terrorist attack in Odessa, Texas. The series finale ended with the super-powered crew saving the world from a solar flare-induced apocalypse and going on to live normal lives.

Heroes, meanwhile, ran from 2006 to 2010 and also followed strangers with unique abilities working together to save the world. The original ensemble included Coleman, Hayden Panettiere, Milo Ventimiglia, Masi Oka, Zachary Quinto, Sendhil Ramamurthy, Adrian Pasdar, Ali Larter, Leonard Roberts, Greg Grunberg, David Anders and Kristen Bell.

Although an instant hit, later seasons of the NBC show didn’t quite live up to expectations and have since been heavily criticized for overly ambitious plots. Kring addressed what went wrong with the show during a panel for Heroes Reborn at the Television Critics Association summer press tour back in 2015.

“The biggest pitfall was always the amount of story that we had to tell,” Kring said at the time. “Our [episode] order was for 23 the first year, then 26 in the second year, 25 in the third year. We were facing a mathematical difficulty, an uphill battle.”
