Well that’s exactly what the good people at “The Hollywood Reporter” are saying! This has actually been floating around the internet for a few days…THR is reporting that Angela Bromstad (NBC President of Primetime) is indicating that Heroes will likely return with a 13-episode “Final season.” NBC recently renewed Parenthood. At the same time, Heroes and Chuck were being discussed on The Hollywood Reporter website. In response to reports that NBC still has a couple of major titles on the bubble for renewal and that sources indicate both Heroes and Chuck will probably return (with Heroes likely receiving a 13-episode final season) Bromstad had this to say- “It is all yet to be debated, both of those shows make sense with the new shows we’ll be bringing on.”
This is making my thoughts on the return of Heroes more and more plausible but I will wait to get excited until we hear official word one way or another. Either way, it’s more positive news!!

THR is reporting that Heroes is still among shows that are “on the bubble” and “the Peacock strongly considering a final-season order.” That’s back to back stories of encouragement for Heroes fans. First we here from Ali Larter that she believes Heroes will be back for a 5th season and now we have word that NBC is strongly considering more episodes. Oh yeah, in case you missed it, Ali Larter recently spoke up about Heroes during the Resident Evil panel at WonderCon. Even though Larter feels that the show will be back, she encourages everyone to tweet and blog about it. You can check that out HERE.
My Personal Opinion
If NBC had plans to cancel Heroes, wouldn’t they have done it by now? I know some people are saying we’ll find out in May but Heroes has a big following and usually we would have heard something by now. Why keep the actors waiting and why not try to promote this as the final season in the U.K. if they had decided on ending with Season 4? This season might be over and done with in the U.S. but there are still more episodes airing in other places. Okay that last part may be a bit of a stretch but it would seem to me that NBC might be past the cancel/renew stage and they are trying to determine how to market the final season of Heroes. I’ll even go as far as to speculate that NBC might be considering more than just one more season. With the ending we were given for Volume 5 it might be tough to end the series with one final comeback. Would I be happy with only getting one more order of episodes? Sure I’ll take what I can get, but we have no idea what Tim Kring has actually pitched to NBC. I do feel that Heroes has a good chance of being back and the only thing that NBC is deciding on is how they’re going to market the show. I don’t want to give fans false hope so I want to clarify that this is completely personal opinion with zero inside knowledge on the situation. I may very well end up eating my words but I strongly believe there’s hope. What do you think? Sound off!

As many of you may know, NBC has a ton of pilots lined up for the upcoming TV season this Fall. We’ve just learned that Greg Grunberg (Matt Parkman) will guest star in the pilot episode of “Love Bites” a dramedy written by Cindy Chupak (”Everybody Loves Raymond, “Sex and the City”, “Men in Trees”). Before the rumors start swirling about Heroes, I’d like to point out that Greg is listed as a guest appearance for the pilot and the only two regulars continuing on will be Becki Newton (of “Ugly Betty”) and Jordana Spiro.

The Heroes season 4 finale “Brave New World” has come and gone, and the repercussions of what happened at the end of this episode have the potential to fundamentally change Heroes going forward. It’s safe to say Heroes will never be the same again. Joe and I talk about how this is a good thing, and about what we’d like to see happen on the next season of Heroes. Granted, there’s one big elephant in the room… What will NBC do? Enjoy!

It seems like just yesterday we were watching the teasers for Volume 5 waiting for the new season to start and wondering to ourselves, “who are these carnival people?” How quickly time flies…
Fast forward to today, 21 weeks later as we anxiously await tonight’s season finale. It’s a conclusion to a volume that has been nothing short of a wild ride. This season has been filled with amazing moments, sad moments, new characters arriving, new characters leaving and the loss of one of the biggest characters on the show, Nathan Petrelli. With that said, the biggest addition to show has come in the form of this season’s central story arch, the Sullivan Brother’s Carnival. A carnival surrounded by mystery and wonder and led by Samuel Sullivan. Many questions remain: How will Peter and Sylar deal with Eli? Will Samuel succeed in his plan to demand respect and gain domination? Will our Heroes prevail as they rise up against him? Who will stand next to each other to oppose Samuel and his attempt for this ultimate power? Will Hiro finally save Charlie?
Well get ready for the Sullivan Brothers’ “Greatest Show Ever” as they bring the carnival to Central Park in New York. It all comes to a conclusion tonight and we should get the answers we’ve all been waiting for! We want to make a big splash tonight so make sure you use the #Heroes hash tag on twitter and spread the word!
Also, don’t forget to join us for the 10th Wonder Season Finale Live show at 1am Eastern, 12am Central and 10pm pacific. You can find us at www.liveheroespodcast.com
