Heroes Premiere Date Announced | Premiere Will Be a Three Hour Event
At the Upfronts yesterday, Co-Chairman of NBC Entertainment and Universal Media Studios, Ben Silverman, announced that Heroes would be returning on September 15 with a three hour event. The first hour will be a clip show, recapping the previous seasons and refreshing our memories about where we left off. The 2 hour season 3 premiere will follow.
Silverman also announced that the show will air re-run free throughout the season, taking only a brief hiatus in the winter. American Gladiators will replace Heroes during the break.
Chuck will return to Monday nights and a new show, My Own Worst Enemy starring Christian Slater, will round out the night.
Also - it looks like the spin-off Heroes: Origins is officially dead now. Apparently the network thought it was too much to ask the producers to complete 30+ episodes per season.
