Heroes Returns; Origins Dies

Heroes will return to NBC on September 15 with an expanded third-season opener, but network executives confirmed that the proposed prequel spinoff, Heroes: Origins, is officially dead.

"We consciously chose to rest [Heroes] this spring so that [creator] Tim Kring and his team could get ahead of the creative and build up to a massive event--a three-hour Heroes night," Ben Silverman, co-chairman of NBC Entertainment and Universal Media Studios, said during the network's upfront presentation to advertisers in New York on April 2. "On Monday, September 15, we'll kick off with a Heroes clip show to try to bring back the audience and [then air] a massive two-hour Heroes film."

K, so I know where I'll be September 15. That's like a holy day of obligation for me. Also, thanks for killing that other show - now get back to non-monkeys-could-do-this writing, yes?

And please show the 2-hour episode at Comic-Con.

That is all.
