The popular TV series "Heroes" will be breathed back to life. The new incarnation of the series called "Heroes: Eclipse" will be written by its creator Tim Kring, and the plot will be set years after the original, reports "Deadline".
"Heroes" originally ran on NBC for four seasons from 2006 to 2010, and was about ordinary people who discover they have supernatural abilities and must work together to stop catastrophic threats.
The series was awarded Golden Globes, Emmys and BAFTA awards. The mini-series "Heroes Reborn" came out in 2015 and was also set in the period after the original. "Heroes: Eclipsed" will bring new characters that will represent the last step in human evolution, and will include both familiar and new villains.
"Deadline" reports that the series is currently being offered to buyers, including streaming services, as well as the aforementioned NBC.
"I've always felt that the brand is elastic enough and the premise is broad enough for the universe of the series to expand. It's a series about ordinary people with extraordinary powers who have to save the world. I think we can tell more stories, both with the famous characters, as well as new ones," said Kring in 2015 in an interview.
