HEROES REBORN ~ ABOUT THE SHOW:

From Creator/Executive Producer Tim Kring, who imagined NBC's original critically acclaimed 2006 "Heroes" series, comes "Heroes Reborn," an epic 13-episode event series that chronicles the lives of ordinary people who discover they possess extraordinary abilities.

A year ago, a terrorist attack in Odessa, Texas left the city decimated. Blamed for the tragic event, those with extraordinary abilities are in hiding or on the run from those with nefarious motives.

Two such vigilantes include Luke (Zachary Levi, "Chuck") and Joanne (Judith Shekoni, "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2"), who are seeking to avenge a tragic loss.

Noah Bennet, aka HRG (Jack Coleman, "Heroes"), has gone off the grid, but conspiracy theorist Quentin Frady (Henry Zebrowski, "A to Z") finds him and opens his eyes to the truth behind the Odessa tragedy.

While in hiding, some are discovering their newfound skills. Awkward teen Tommy (Robbie Kay, "Once Upon a Time") just wants to be normal and win the girl of his dreams, Emily (Gatlin Green, "Criminal Minds"), but normalcy is virtually impossible after learning of a new ability that terrifies him. Coming from a very sheltered upbringing, a bold and ethereal teenager, Malina (Danika Yarosh, "Shameless"), has been told she is destined for greatness. In Tokyo, a quiet and unique young woman, Miko (Kiki Sukezane, "Death Yankee 3"), is trying to track down her missing father while hiding an extraordinary secret that will make her a force to be reckoned with. Elsewhere, a different type of hero is emerging through former soldier Carlos (Ryan Guzman, "The Boy Next Door").

Meanwhile, Erica (Rya Kihlstedt, "Masters of Sex"), the head of the highly successful tech conglomerate Renautas has an agenda of her own.

For better or for worse, some are fated to cross paths with assorted heroes of the past, including Hiro Nakamura (Masi Oka), Matt Parkman (Greg Grunberg), Mohinder Suresh (Sendhil Ramamurthy) and the Haitian (Jimmy Jean-Louis), among others. Yet, together, their ultimate destiny is nothing less than saving the world and mankind.

Joining Kring are Executive Producers James Middleton ("Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles") and Peter Elkoff ("Sons of Anarchy"). "Heroes Reborn" is produced by Imperative Entertainment, in association with Universal Television.

I'm excited for this show!!

The opening post looks great.

This show fits more into the Sci-Fi/Fantasy category. So I'm moving it to the Sci-Fi/Fantasy board.

Chrissy · 06-11-2006, 02:11 PM

I can't wait for this show to start.

Merlin_Bodhi · 06-11-2006, 02:26 PM

I want to see a better preview of this show.

It sounds a lot like the 4400 but without the abduction part.

Camibra · 06-12-2006, 03:15 AM

^Exactly my thoughts too.

thescoobygang · 06-12-2006, 05:58 AM

well, this is the first I've heard of this show. Thanks for the heads up! I'm a sucker for the 'discover your powers' plot...it speaks to my inner comic book geek.

I just wish they had come up with a more imaginative ad picture. Posing for a group photo in front of a stormy skyline isn't that original or eyecatching. However, nice to see that Ali Larter is in this. I've been wondering when I would see her in another genre project.

darcybennett · 06-12-2006, 08:22 AM

Thanks for starting this up, Kelly!

I'm really excited for this show to air!

I think it has everything to become a hit. Intrigue, excitement, drama, great plot/characters, mystery, etc. everything a tv show ought to be really. I'm also confident the show won't be cheesy in any way, it will be well written, produced and acted. I'm so glad I'll be seeing Milo and Greg every week, as well as Ali and Hayden and the rest.

This is one of the few upcoming NBC shows that I'm interested in watching. I have yet to see a preview, but I've seen a couple positive reviews for the first episode.

Hermione Weasley · 06-12-2006, 03:35 PM

This show sounds pretty interesting

Cryostar · 06-13-2006, 05:25 AM

ABC is the king of screwing up shows I like, but I know exactly what you mean. They've got a good cast though, so maybe that will help draw in viewers.
