Previously, on Heroes Reborn, Tommy (Robbie Kay) was finally told about his destiny by his mom and the penny hypnotist, which he predictably rejects. Luke (Zachary Levi) burns his house down, destroying his past with Joanna and his son. Miko and Ren (Kiki Sukezane and Toru Uchikado) sneak into Renautas via cosplayers, and retrieve the sword. Noah, Quentin, and Taylor (Jack Coleman, Henry Zebrowski, and Eve Harlow) make it inside as well, and find Molly (Francesca Eastwood), but she offs herself to stop EPIC. I actually don’t blame her. Erica Hitler, I mean Kravid (Rya Kihlstedt) moves forward with her global annihilation plan. They find human seeds to rebuild humanity. Malina (Danika Yarosh) has to forge on ahead – alone.

Some spoilers below.

Heroes Reborn debuted last week after much anticipation. A year after a terrorist attack in Odessa, Texas, the Evolved Humans (EVOs) are chased down and persecuted. The others take pains to hide their power. Tommy (Robbie Kay) can make people (and objects) disappear, Miko (Kiki Sukezane) can step inside a video game and fight like a ninja, and Carlos (Ryan Guzman) doesn’t really have power, but becomes the hero El Vengador after his brother died, leaving the costume empty. Noah Bennet (Jack Coleman) had his mind erased concerning Odessa, but Dark Matters’ Quentin Frady (Henry Zebrowski) stirs enough curiosity to merit investigation. He happily finds The Haitian (Jimmy-Jean Louis), and it is a kill or be killed situation. What???? Luke and Joanne Collins (Zachary Levi and Judith Shekoni) try to kidnap Tommy, but he sends them to his scary place – a cell under Primatech. Molly Walker (Francesca Eastwood) gets conned and kidnapped.

Where are the Heroes? In hiding, playing vigilante, making plans, fighting back… they are on NBC on Thursday nights on Heroes Reborn, and I am glad. I was afraid that I was just so excited for this reboot, I would love it even if it was terrible, much as I would love LOST, should it ever return.

I should not have worried.

In just a few hours, a television phenomenom of its time will return in a 13-episode limited series form, and I will be only one of the many who have been waiting for it with bated breath. Heroes Reborn returns at 8:00pm for a 2-hour premiere, more than 5 years after Heroes ended. What will it be like? We will know soon.

Check out one of the scenes in the clip provided between Noah Bennet (Jack Coleman) and Quentin Frady (Henry Zebrowski), who was one of the stars of Heroes Reborn: Dark Matters, the prequel web series.

Check out here below the sneak peek, plus the digital exclusive that includes an interview with Dr. Mohinder Suresh.

Heroes Reborn premieres tomorrow night, so NBC threw us one more bone before we are immersed in EVO land. Tim Kring‘s 13-episode limited series picks up years after the Claire Bennet came out to the world, but now Evolved Humans are in hiding after being blamed for a terrorist attack in Odessa, Texas. New EVOs are discovering their powers, and old EVOs are taking up the mantle to answer the call, “Where are the heroes?”

Check out the sneak peek clip, plus 2 others, and the official synopsis below.

Heroes Reborn is gearing up for its fiery return on September 24th on NBC, with an interactive and photo experience, in the middle of Times Square, NYC. Held just today, September 12th (12pm-10pm) and tomorrow, September 13th (10am-8pm), in the middle of the pedestrian plaza (Broadway between 46th & 47th St), this fun fan experience lets you feel what its like to look like a hero, and to be a hero.

Check out the press release, the full motion pic, and the gallery pics of the Times Square JumboTron below.

“Memories are funny things. the good ones fill our lives with meaning, while other memories can deceive. When you look back on the decisions you’ve made in your life, the one thing you don’t wanna feel… is regret.”

That is the voice of HRG aka Noah Bennett (Jack Coleman), who in our original series went from bad guy to good guy, and back again as fast as a teenager changes clothes. He is back in Heroes Reborn, the 13-episode limited series that takes place years after Claire Bennett outs her own kind on national TV.

Check out the first look and other videos below.

NBC has released new character motion posters for Heroes Reborn, the miniseries continuation of Tim Kring‘s Heroes, which ran from 2006-2010 on the network. Kring is also in charge of this 13-episode series, which goes back to basics – when ordinary people discover extraordinary powers.

Check out the motion posters and the ones set to music below.

I loved Heroes. In 2006, it was a unique concept for television – people who developed extraordinary abilities, and the people who attacked, feared, and loved them. I loved Peter Petrelli (Milo Ventimiglia), whose ability to take on other people’s powers made his every move an interesting one. I loved Dr. Suresh (Sendhil Ramamurthy), the earnest, genius, easy-on-the-eyes researcher. I even loved Sylar (Zachary Quinto), the first really terrifying villain I had seen in a long time.

So I will be tuning in for Heroes Reborn, a 13-episode series set to air September 24th on NBC.

Read the official synopsis, watch the trailer for Heroes Reborn – The Extraordinary Among Us, and the other promo video below.

If you’re like me, you were really looking forward to yesterday’s premiere of the third season of Heroes. Like a lot of people, I wasn’t so impressed with the second season, so it was nice to go back and re-watch the first season, which still holds up as one of the best set of episodes of the last few years. Watching these episodes again has reminded me why I enjoyed this show so much when it first started.

Of course, if you’ve seen the show before, you know all about the story. Various people around the world discover that they have extraordinary powers. They quickly learn that not only are they not alone, but that there are evil people who want to use their powers for nefarious deeds. Predictably, they save the cheerleader, they stop the exploding man, and they set up the beginning of the second season. What struck me most about these episodes is how well they hold up. Sure, I didn’t get the big surprises anymore, but I found myself really enjoying the performances and how all the story bits fit together. Little touches like Linderman’s name being mentioned in the first episode, the evolution of Mr. Bennet from villain to hero, and the build up and eventual reveal of series villain Syler. You can tell in the first season that the creators of the show had a plan of how the story would go and it made for really compelling TV.
