From SCIFIWire:

Tim Kring, creator and executive producer of Heroes, told SCI FI Wire that the upcoming season finale will introduce new characters that will become central to the story in the second season. “There are several new characters coming in the immediate future,” Kring said in an interview. “The idea of the show from the start was always to basically honor the origin story of the first sort of blush and discovery of these powers. And so, in order to do that, new characters will have to be cycled into the show. And by extension, older characters will cycle out of the show.”

From SCIFIwire:

NBC announced that it has ordered six segments of a new series called Heroes: Origins, which will air in the main show’s Monday-night timeslot when it goes on hiatus, Variety reported.

The new series will center on new characters that haven’t yet been introduced on the original show, and will feature an interactive element. Viewers will have a chance to vote for their favorite character, who will later cross over to the regular Heroes.

According to Variety, the move is intended to avoid repeats, which have been earning record low ratings this year on all five networks. (NBC is owned by NBC Universal, which also owns SCIFI.COM.)

Heroes took home three Saturn Awards on May 10, including an award for “Best Network Television Series”. Masi Oka (Hiro) won “best supporting actor” and Hayden Panettiere (Claire) took home the award for “best supporting actress”.
