Heroes Reborn is getting ready to return fans to the world of the original Heroes TV series. Set five years after the original series finale, Heroes Reborn returns to a world divided between those with powers and those without.

In an exclusive clip, stars Zachary Levi (Luke) and Judi Shekoni (Joanne) talk about their characters' roles in this new world.

"In the first episode, you basically see me hunt down people with special abilities," Shekoni says.

"Pretty quickly you find out that Luke and Joanne are pretty dark people," says Levi. "It's a far cry from Chuck, that's for sure."

In Heroes Reborn, the saga behind the 2006 breakout series Heroes will continue as creator Tim Kring returns to the fold and develops new layers to his original superhero concept. This highly anticipated 13-episode miniseries will reconnect with the basic elements of the show's first season where ordinary people were waking up to the fact that they had extraordinary abilities.

The two-hour premiere of Heroes Reborn airs Thursday, Sept. 24 at 8 p.m. ET on NBC.
