The second episode of the new Heroes season has gave us a look into the new season. ts now apparent that Hiro is the Kenzei and Claire has been found out. There are many plots to follow and noticeably Nikki has not been on screen yet. The next episode promises more answers as Peter Patrelli continues to remember who he is and what he can do.
The first episode of Heroes aired on Monday night with the new characters in full swing. Claire is now living in Texas with her family and is playing the “low key” role for the moment. Everything looks to be shaping into a great second season. The question is. When will Skylar be back?
NBC is set to release the Heroes Season 1 DVD on August 28th, stay tuned as we will be preselling the DVDs shortly.
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.
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.
A second season has been confirmed, although the airing and filming dates are still unreleased at this time.
As a true fan of the series I think that the series could go any direction at this point. I think the most plausible idea to get the whole thing rolling would be killing one of the main characters in the near future. Linderman may be the one to kick the can. One villain who I think is safe for now is Sylar, who seems to be a promising character for the future. As stated this is purely specualtion at this point.
After an extended layoff Heroes will be back Monday with all new episodes. They are promising big episodes that really open up the plot of the whole show. Will Peter Petrelli die? Will New York explode? Will Claire meet her father? These and more should be answered soon.
