First 3 Photos from HEROES REBORN
The NBC series Heroes is coming back for a limited series run called Heroes Reborn. The show is currently in production, and we've got our first look at it thanks to three photos that have been released. They feature returning cast member Jack Coleman as Noah Bennet, as well as the new additions Zachary Levi and Kiki Sukezane as Luke Collins and Miko Otomo, respectively.
The upcoming series will also see the return of Masi Oka as Hiro and Jimmy Jean-Louis as The Haitian, alongside a host of new characters, which are mentioned in the press release below the photos. We don't know much about the story, but it will tie into the original show’s first season, which followed ordinary people who started to manifest extraordinary abilities.
Heroes Reborn is set to air later this year.
Here's some additional information from the press release:
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”).
With the return of “Heroes Reborn,” NBC will launch a digital series prior to the premiere that will introduce new characters and storylines that will take the “Heroes” phenomenon to new places. NBC’s digital platforms, as well as Hulu and video-on-demand, will debut the online prequel to the series prior to the show’s premiere.
