When it began, Heroes was a huge hit for NBC. But then, the storylines got too convoluted, much of the audience lost interest, the ratings dropped and the network cancelled the series without any resolution. Now, they’ve revived it as a mini-series called Heroes Reborn. Will it be a big success and be brought back for a second season or will it be a flop? Stay tuned.
Heroes Reborn takes place a year after a terrorist attack in Odessa, Texas. With the city destroyed, the government blamed people with special abilities and they all had to go into hiding. Noah Bennet (Jack Coleman) is also in hiding, but is found by conspiracy theorist Quentin Frady (Henry Zebrowski) who tries to show him the truth. The rest of the cast includes Zachary Levi, Robbie A. Kay, Kiki Sukezane, Ryan Guzman, Rya Kihlstedt, Gatlin Green, Henry Zebrowski, Judith Shekoni, and Danika Yarosh.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
1/13 update: Despite some hopes from the cast, NBC has decided not to order another season.
1/22 update: You can see the rest of the latest night’s ratings.
Note: If you’re not seeing the updated chart, please try reloading the page or view it here.
Note: Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
What do you think? Do you like the Heroes Reborn mini-series? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
Of course, the lowest common denominator wins again. If a show gets too “brainy”, it get’s cancelled.
Please renew I loved original heroes and would love to see second season for reborn or at least give us 1 last episode to tell us who the twins father is and if you leave us on a cliff hanger you will lose views on ur other tv shows. PLEASE RENEW!!!!
I would love to see another season of heroes reborn. I waited a really long time for a continuation of the original series. I not lost interest in the original series because it got a little stale towards the end and I didn’t care for what was happening with some of the relationships. It would be nice to see some more appearances from some of the original characters.
There needs to be a new season, but as for a renewal for a second season in the fall may not be the best vote. Let Kring take the time to properly develope the next volume of the series. No one wants to see what happened going into the original second season again.
I have been a heroes fan from the start. I was so excited to hear it returning. Even my husband who never really watched got enveloped. I was surprised when I started researching to refresh my memory how long the series was gone. So sad Claire is gone, really loved that character–but she’s got another gig now! I’ve read the threads about Milena’s and Nathan’s dad based on the comic book series….The Hammer… But I really want to see it. Loved the marital drama between Joanne and Luke and sibling issues between Quentin and Phoebe. I was routing for the… Read more »
Please let NBC know that this show must be renewed. We need something more intelligent and motivating on the air. The allegorical power of the Heroes/Heroes Reborn characters and their lives are more powerful than the simple people-kill-people model and the ensuing reactionary violence or authorities-driven response. How many murder/violence mysteries are out there? How many police-related dramas are out there? I suspect they’ve become the new soap operas of our time. Besides, I feel like the current ratings might be inaccurate because many savvy viewers buy the show off iTunes or other such services and may not register in… Read more »
this show was not intelligent in the slightest. The writing is laughably bad. Besides, to warrant a second season a show must A. pull in viewers or B. pull in awards. If it was so intelligent explain the WGA not nominating it for anything. Furthermore, to warrant a reboot a show must have cause and this show did not. it ended like 6 years ago jesus, dont be blinded by your own bias there are plenty of intelligent dramas and police procedural’s.
RENEW PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please renew this show NBC!
Please. Wanna know their father.. 2nd season.. please.. huhuhu..
Renew it for a second season. Give it a chance, please.
They can’t leave us with the doubt of whos the father of the twins.. If they dont want to renewed at least they can make one last episode with a conclusion… Please dont leave us just wondering..
I agree totally you guys can’t leave the viewers wondering in suspense. That’s bad business
My guess is they will have a new volume in 2017. Seems like Tim Kring has been given a creative leash to produce his material at his own pace. “Renewing” would perhaps yield deadlines and force writers to cram and compromise. As for Milena and new Nathan’s father, it’s already been explained that their father is one of old Nathan’s two sons, Simon or Monty. Apparently he has the evil gene that old Nathan’s father, Arthur had. Remember, Angela and Arthur are the great grandparents, Noah was the grandfather (step-grandfather), and Peter is the uncle. Not sure why Matt Parkman… Read more »
So you’re saying they were born out of incest
There is no incest. By “old Nathan”, I am referring to the guy with flying powers from the original series (2006-2010), brother of Peter Petrelli, son of Angela and Arthur Petrelli, and the grandfather of the Nathan in the new series. Perhaps I should refer to the two Nathans as “flying Nathan” and “time master Nathan”. Angela and Arthur are referred to as “time master Nathan’s” great-grandparents, and Peter is referred to as an uncle. Therefore, we know “time master Nathan’s” grandfather must be Angela’s other son, “flying Nathan”, the one whom he was named after. “Time master Nathan’s” step… Read more »
Apparently I had forgotten one crucial detail. That detail being that Claire is actually “flying Nathan’s” daughter. So, through Claire herself (not Simon or Monty), “flying Nathan” is “time master Nathan’s” grandfather. That means, Milena’s and “time master Nathan’s” father could be anyone. Sorry for confusing you.
That’s still insest because flying Nathan is Clairs dad.
I think Heroes Reborn should be renewed for a second season.
I couldn’t wait to tune in for Heroes Reborn each week. The new characters who made the journey with some old favorites made this show a hit in my house! We all enjoyed the new storyline. We definitely want to see a second season.
I think this is a great spin off from the original and it deserves a new season or volume should we say, I want to know who the father is because it is really interesting. I agree with Haley and what she is saying because we sifi lovers are not normal we don’t like to sit down and watch soaps like eastenders or normal series like ncis. we love the powers, alias, mystery. So please bring out some more heroes.
I think heroes reborn should be canceled please bring it back!! All of us fans would love to have it come back on and have at least another season to end the series with a good ending that would please all of us fans of the show
