Is “re-died” a word, yet? NBC‘s Bob Greenblatt told Deadline there would be no second season of the Heroes Reborn TV series, effectively cancelling the rebooted sci-fi fantasy drama. The final two episodes of Heroes Reborn are set to air on January 14 and January 21, 2016, at 8:00pm ET/PT.
Although billed by NBC as a limited event series, star Robbie Kay expressed hope for more seasons.
The original Heroes TV series was cancelled by NBC after four seasons. Its star, Masi Oka, returned as Hiro, for a few episodes of Heroes Reborn. Oka too, hoped for future seasons of Heroes Reborn.
From Deadline:
Originally ordered as an limited/event series, Heroes Reborn will remain that. At TCA today, NBC Entertainment chairman Bob Greenblatt confirmed that there will not be a second installment.
“Yeah, I think that was always the plan unless (creator) Tim (Kring) woke up one day and said I have another chapter to tell,” Greenblatt said. “I think we’re coming to the end of the world though. Stay tuned.”
As of its 11th episode, which aired January 7, Heroes Reborn season one average ratings include a 1.33 in the 18-49 demographic, and an average total audience of 4.415 million viewers.
When sorted by the 18-49 demographic, that 1.33 rating ranks Heroes Reborn ninth, out of the 15 scripted NBC shows we are currently tracking.
Thursday nights have been a tough one for NBC, in recent seasons. Still, with those numbers, it is not surprising that the network will not try to convince Tim Kring to make a second season of Heroes Reborn.
What do you think? Are you a fan of the Heroes Reborn TV show? If it were to renewed for a second season, would you watch?
Yes NBC should keep the best show they have if not Netflix or CW should pick it up
I WOULD SO WATCH ANOTHER SEASON OF HEROES REBORN. This has become part of my life. I have become close to the characters and another season would make me so happy!
I am very disappointed that I am hearing heroes reborn will be NOT air for the second season. You have to bring it back PLEASE
I am really sad that they have decided not to renew Heroes Reborn. I watched Heroes and was quite disappointed when it was canceled. I was super excited that they gave it another shot with Heroes Reborn. Why can’t someone like Netflix or Hulu pick it up. I DON’T WANT IT TO END!
heroes is the best series ever made,all my friends and I usually rush home every Thursday to watch this. You guys suck its not heroes fault why you guys losing view blame the boot leg dvds and all the sites that give us access to it without having to watch your crappy station.
It took me a few episodes to get into the show but I actually really like it! I’m happy they have some of the old characters on there! I would watch a second season so hopefully they renew!
Please give us more heros we would prefer a second season I just got the show back we can’t lose it now
Yes absolutely. If NBC cancels Netflix should buy it
Yes..yes…and yes the freak again! Started on Hulu, when I remembered seeing it advertised but never got around to watching it (College is life) and stayed up all night watching it.
And now this!
Why is it I’m always falling for shows that end up canceled?
I think I need to reevaluate my life. This could be more serious than I think.
I didn’t even know there was a new series. That’s what you get for putting it on a channel nobody really cares about.
It was always on NBC.
Good. The series was absolutely awful and was a waste of a valuable time slot. For the 10 people who actually watched it, I guess you’ll have to find something else to fill that hour of your life…..
The morons at NBC wouldn’t know a good series if it crawled up and bit them!!! Of course I would watch! I was way smarter this time and forced myself not to buy any of their merch! I bought everything and I do mean everything last time and then the writers strike blew up and they lost faith and canceled. These goofups would probably have canceled Star Trek, Firefly, anything from Marvel or DC because that how small their focus and creativity flows. There’s a reason why FOX, CW, TBS and even SYFY have them beat in so many markets!!!
I agree 100%, had just got into the original after starting then stopping… soon as I caught up it was gone. At least I got to enjoy another chapter while it lasted…
As it was only ever supposed to be a limited event, I wouldn’t consider that a “cancellation” (though ABC renewed their stupid “Galavant” which was only supposed to be a limited thing last year). I didn’t have hopes for a second season–though was super-glad that “Heroes Reborn” came to be after we were robbed of a promised 5th season of “Heroes”! (This still is no “Heroes”, though. 🙂 I hope that the series concludes well…and wouldn’t mind a movie.
These people are complete and total morons! I have to agree with you about that Galavant nonsense, it’s completely idiotic! I tuened i to see what it was and gave up after 5 minutes of total and complete stupidity.
I also agree with you that Heroes was tremendously better than Reborn but at least it had potential…………………………. I too could go for more seasons or even a movie!
Why do they think that they know everything? Sci-fi fans are strong in numbers, we just need to be strong in voice. Speak up in support of Heroes Reborn!
that stinks. love this show. they always cancel good shows that us older folks like to watch. then again i get no vote because I don’t have a neilson rating box and they don’t seem to care about anyone over 49 years old.
Maybe someone like Sy-Fy or Netflix would pick it up. I get so tired of shows I like getting the axe. This show is amazing and has so much potential. I would have liked more original Heroes members coming back for cameos but again Heroes die off too soon.
That has been one very disappointing thing–That SO few of the original people were included in the series…and that so many of them were supposed to have died. 🙁 And, we still didn’t find out about the Petrellis…Where’s Peter?!…Would’ve loved for him to have been on the show–But, that was probably prevented by “The Whispers” (:-(). Also, VERY disappointed about Parkman’s character being bad. 🙁 And, it’s weird that Noah Bennett has basically been the main character/protagonist of the show! At least Hiro has been a part of this, though! I wish that the original series had gotten to continue… Read more »
Its so disappointing. This is one show my whole family got to sit and watch together! I wouldn’t even consider myself a sci-fi person, but I really enjoyed the original series as well as the Reborn series. It still has a lot of potential and creativity just waiting to explode! But no, it was yet again given up on way to soon. So sad!
