Grunberg Says “Heroes will be back”
According to Michael Ausiello, Greg Grunberg was recently quoted as saying “I don’t have any doubt that the show [Heroes] will be back.” They caught up with him last night at the People’s Choice awards and Greg goes on to say “We wrapped yesterday and the [final episode] is nowhere near a series finale, It is cliffhanger-y and exciting, but it is nowhere near an end to a series that people are so invested in. It does not tie everything up in a neat bow… I don’t have any doubt that the show will be back.”
I’d usually have a few choice words for Ausiello but in this case he’s simply relaying the message from Greg himself and it’s actually good news. Who would have thought? All kidding aside this is good news but it’s not definitive since ultimately it’s up to NBC/Universal (and now Comcast) execs to decide if we get another season of Heroes. On the plus side of things, this does coincide with recent talks from Tim Kring confirming that Volume 6 will be set up in the last part of the finale on February 8th. There’s more support to this as well from Greg in the article over at EW.com. What do you think? All signs are pointing to at least one more season of Heroes!

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Sweet news! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
It saddens me to think about Heroes ending, but it can’t go on forever. I’m ok with season 5 as the possible series finale. If it is, let’s hope Tim Kring and the Heroes writing staff do their best to conclude the series “tie everything up with a neat bow” … It would be VERY disappointing to end Heroes with a cliff hanger… oh yea, and more hero deaths! that Nathan scene made me cry, I love it!
The need to “tie everything up with a neat bow” is not completely necessary to me. I have strong faith that no matter how this show ends, it will continue years later in movies or spin offs. This show is the closest thing i can think of that is similar to Star Trek.
