Sorry, Greg Grunberg. It turns out that Ali Larter might just be right. It seems that the Heroes wrap-up movie isn’t happening.
As fans know all too well, after NBC cancelled Heroes in May, there was talk about wrapping up the TV show’s storylines as either a movie or a mini-series. Despite the fact that some time had passed, series creator Tim Kring recently indicated he was still optimistic.
He said, “It looks like we’re really going to start talking about it now. The summer months in television are always about preparing for the Fall launch of all the new shows, so I totally understand why there hasn’t been a lot of discussion [until now]. Once the Fall season is launched, I fully believe that this discussion will get reignited in a very big way.”
Now, according to EW sources, NBC isn’t going ahead with the project, at least for the 2010-11 season. However, that may not be the end of the Heroes universe. Kring believes that the show’s broad premise allows for many different stories to be told in many different ways.
What do you think? If not onscreen, how would you like to see Heroes continue — as books, comics, animation, web shorts, or in some other form?

I am so disappointed that Heroes is off the air. I watched each season. At work we would talk about what went on during the show the night before. It was a wonderful topic to talk about. We would speculate on who would turn good or go bad. Would like to see the series wrap up in a full length TV movie just to satisfy those die hard fans, like me. I wish NBC would consider the the viewer.
I CANT BELIEVE THE CAPE WHAT A JOKE . BRING BACK HEROES MAYBE CBS WILL PICK UP SERIES LIKE THEY DID WITH MEDIUM. NBC YOU ALWAYS MAKE THE WRONG CHOICES AND THATS WHY I WATCH SHOWS ON CBS MORE
Heroes should have an ending.
We think all the HEROES fans deserve an end even if is a movie or a mini-series but it is just unfair to leave us in hanging like this.
I think there definetly needs to be another season to Heroes . The ending was not satisfactory , its a very intruiging TV show . Therefore , it would make the fans happy ;D
I followed heroes since the beginning and I love this show! But personally I would not like to read the continuation. and even if done in animation it would not be the same as the episodes. Online episodes or making a dvd season could do.
I cant believe they did this to Heroes! I just started watching the series on Netflix and now I am extremely disappointed because I know there is no ending!! I am currently in the 3rd season and although it is getting a little strange, I am still intrigued and want to see what happens… What is ridiculous to me is that LOST got a 6th season which was clearly unnecessary since it should have ended with them destroying the island and going back to before the plane crash… Just my opinion tho… I just dont see how they can possibly… Read more »
I think I will take whatever I can get at this point. Yes a movie would have been great, a series finally would have been better but if all I can get is a book or graphic novel to give this amazing creation a proper ending I will take it and enjoy every second of it. I just wish a decision was made so that we had something to look forward to.
I totally agree that there needs to be another season or a book to end it for real. Claire jumping off of a ferris wheel was just the beginning of another chapter. The series was so good that I brought the box set! I love Heroes!!
Needs to be series or movie it’s totally great and the way it ended is unexceptable.
I need my fix! More Heroes, please! I got totally attached
to the characters, good and bad. The actors took me in their world,
and that’s not an easy task. I would love the series to come back
or a movie once every 2-years. Bit give me something. More Heroes,
please!
The Show was a hit, and I fell in love with it. The story lines seemed to get more and more stretched out, as most series’ do. If I could see the Heroes Universe to fruition, or continue, I would most like to see it as an MMO. Having a game similar to World of Warcraft, but with the Heroes stories and settings. Games are the medium of the future and are the ideal method to use for fans to fully experience the story you visualized from the beginning. Being able to create a digital self and give him a… Read more »
They should at least make a really intense movie that sums it up! I absoulutly love HEROES! I caught myself in alot of heroes marathons. I don’t care that it didnt get enough ratings but what about the fans that want to see some kind of ending I sure they have a good chance of making more money off the movie where they can cash out and do not leave fans aggitated! I would by more than one copy most likely and give it to my family! I think NBC still has time to make the movie.
Unless it comes on the tv or in a movie form it’ll lose too much momentum. I agree with someone from the other postings that if the season is not getting the ratings it is the fault of the network. I just started watching and am devastated at never getting a real ending or a continuation of the storyline.
I have only seen the first season, but I can already tell that Heroes is one of my favorite shows. NBC should not have cancelled it, they should do right by us and nake either a new season or a movie to wrap it up, or bring it back and keep it going. The ratings for season 4 were higher than those of the CW shows Smallville and Supernatural, two more I enjoy, and yet they keep going while Heroes is cancelled. I’m not complaining about them still going, I’m just saying that is stupid that a show with higher… Read more »
