Heroes Fifth Season Commissioned

Been Holding Out For A Hero recently? If so, NBC have you (and Bonnie Tyler) covered!
The National Broadcasting Company has today announced the commissioning of a fifth season of their science-fiction drama Heroes. Titled Heroes Reborn, the latest run of the US series will comprise of 13 episodes, with their weekly running time still to be confirmed.

More than most dramas before it, Heroes' history has been turbulent to say the very least. Whereas its first season averaged 14.3 million viewers in the States and Season Two managed a 13.1 million average, by the time of its fourth series, NBC's pet project had dropped to the 4 million mark and continued to waver in strength as the season progressed. That NBC elected to act it was no major surprise, then, and only exerts further pressure on Reborn to succeed where its predecessor failed. Word has it that Season Five will be a isolated entity in narrative terms so as to enable accessibility for the unseasoned viewership, but we'll have to be patient if the wait for its première is to be a smooth one.

Heroes: Reborn will air on NBC and an unannounced UK broadcaster in 2015.
