Heroes creator Tim Kring has issued a none-too-humble statement about the end of the NBC series. The ratings have dropped a lot since the show’s big splash on NBC back in September of 2006. While the show still has a lot of fan support, that doesn’t necessarily translate into ways that the network can make money. Kring doesn’t hold the cancellation against the network and said…
I want to first extend my deepest gratitude and heartfelt appreciation to the legion of enthusiastic fans who have watched ‘Heroes’ on TV, online, DVR, DVD and mobile over the last four seasons.
Every week more than 45 million TV viewers around the world, as well as millions of social and digital media-based fans, have made ‘Heroes’ one of the five most-watched shows across traditional and digital media screens in the history of television.
For NBC, I certainly understand the challenge of creating a business model around a show which arrived precisely as the audience was finding new ways to watch traditional content on multiple screens. I personally have had 12 great years with my friends at NBC, and with ‘Heroes,’ they provided me a rare opportunity to put a message of hope, interconnectivity and global consciousness into the world.
For that I am grateful and look forward to finalizing our discussion about a number of ways to keep the ‘Heroes’ universe alive for its fans.
NBC’s primetime entertainment president, Angela Bromstad, confirmed this week that discussions had begun regarding plans to produce a two-hour Heroes event. This would be aimed at providing closure for longtime fans of the series.
The event would likely be split into two parts and included in the syndication package with the rest of the TV show’s 77 episodes.
What do you think? Can Heroes be wrapped up in a two-hour movie? In what other ways could the show continue? Comics, books, animation or perhaps something that’s online-only?

you are all so right…..they leave all these stupid shows on air and cancel the ones they really shouldnt! I give up….who is giving them the information about about what people want and dont want to see? These are the people that should have their heads flippen checked!
Heroes was one of the best suspenseful drama show for NBC because Tim Kring does an excellent job and creating more extraordinary episodes for each season that we liked. Heroes was the best to dicover the phenomenon since 2007 on dvd. It’s a thrilling journey through all these seasons that we imagine. The fans wants to see more of this epic/suspenseful tv show of HEROES. (2006-2010) Four wonderful years of making and an extraodrinary cast that delivers an ecip storyline. Volume 6: ” Brave New World”
-She’s gonna change everything, that’s right. It’s a brave new world.
To Be Continued…
YES! – please wrap it up. 2 hours would be better than the nothing we got!!!!!
You kept chuck and got rid of hero’s… go figure
Just when it really started to get going. This really sucks! Another good show gone.
How can they leave us hanging? I need to know what is going to happen!!!! I invested all this time and baught all the DVDs to not have any answers at the end..I dont think so!
I would love to see a wrapp up of the show. After “investing” in the characters and plot lines I think the fans would like answers.
Hope for a two hour show that would in two parts.

I love HEROES! It is original, cast is wonderful, storylines awasome! We need more thann a 2 hour seson finally! KEEP IT ALIVE..DVD SERIES..ONLINE EPISODES…IT TODAYS WORLD WITH OUR TECHNOLOGY THERE HAS TO BE A WAY TO KEEP HEROES GOINGuntil the whole strory is truley told!
I loved Happy town and really wanted to watch it more and let the mystery unfold. Shows that leave you guessing about something other than who slept with who are rare and I love them so much, but they never last.. It is so disappointing that it was cancelled when other cliche’ shows continue to run. I wonder if they look at how many people watch it online on sites like hulu and fancast.
I totally concur! Please keep Heroes alive. 🙁
I don’t know how the show could end right there, claire just jumped to her death on national television, sylar just turned good, and they have a freaking time traveler, how can shows end with these things?! I love heroes.. I have watched online, netflix, tv, recorded every episode on my dvr, It is my FAVORITE show. and I would always put it first against that other crap on at the same time. Heroes > 24/House/other stuff.
please keep heroes going!!!
hope heroes gets one more season end a desent ending heroes is one of the best shows on television apart from fringe.
However i want heroes to have proper ending and i think one more season would be great and Tim Kring is a legend
