Heroes to Air 30 Episodes in Season 2

Ξ June 12th, 2007 | → 1 Comments | ∇ Program Info |

The new shows NBC has ordered for the 2007-08 season were largely well-received by advertisers and journalists yesterday at its Upfront presentation in New York City, but it was the network’s treatment of two returning sophomore shows that had everyone buzzing. NBC has ordered a whopping 30 episodes of Heroes, the most successful new show this past season on any network, and it has moved Friday Night Lights to what may be the most practical night of the week for that show, Friday night.

The expanded episode order for Heroes will include 24 episodes of the series in its current format and an additional six episodes with the title Heroes: Origins. The latter will be six stand-alone hours, each one introducing a new character. Like almost every new and returning series on NBC next season, Origins will have an interactive spin: Fans will be invited to vote for their favorite of the six new characters and the winning character will be added to the regular series in its third season.

 

Tim Kring Gets 2 Year Deal

NBC’s hero of the 2006-07 season, “Heroes” creator/executive producer Tim Kring, has inked a new overall deal with NBC Universal Television Studio, the studio behind the hit freshman show.

Under the two-year pact, said to be one of the biggest in television, Kring will continue as the showrunner on “Heroes” and will shepherd its upcoming spinoff, “Heroes: Origins,” as well as the various “Heroes” offshoots in print and digital media. Kring also is expected to develop new projects for the studio.

This marks the first major talent deal to close since Katherine Pope took the reins of NBC Uni TV as president several days ago. That couldn’t be more fitting as Kring and Pope are close friends going back to the early days of NBC Studios, which the two joined within months from each other in 1999-2000.
