Heroes Reborn Premiere Extended To Two Hours

It looks like NBC is giving its Heroes a, well, hero’s welcome.

The network has announced that Heroes Reborn premiere will now run for two hours. This extends the premiere an hour longer than previously announced. Heroes Reborn revives NBC’s popular superhero series for a one-season event, featuring a mix of returning cast members and new faces.

The saga behind the 2006 breakout series “Heroes” will continue this fall as creator Tim Kring returns to the fold and develops new layers to his original superhero concept.

This highly anticipated 13-episode event series 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.

Original cast member Jack Coleman will reprise his role as H.R.G., Jimmy Jean-Louis returns as The Haitian, and Masi Oka will be back as Hiro Nakamura. Also joining the cast are Zachary Levi (of NBC’s “Chuck” and the Marvel franchise “Thor”), Ryan Guzman (“The Boy Next Door”), Robbie Kay (“Once Upon a Time”), Danika Yarosh (“Shameless”), Judith Shekoni (“The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2”), Kiki Sukezane (“Death Yankee 3”), Henry Zebrowski (NBC’s “A to Z”) and Gatlin Green (“Criminal Minds”).

Heroes Reborn premieres Thursday, September 24 at 8:00 p.m. Will you tune in? Let us know in the comments!
