‘Heroes’ renewed for fourth season
‘Heroes’ will be back next season with an planned 18-20 episode order.
From 'Heroes', Milo Ventimiglia.
This just in…NBC are bringing ‘Heroes’ back for another season, says entertainment president Angela Bromstad.
Many had speculated the show’s demise with ratings slowing, but today’s news puts those rumours at rest.
The network plans to order 18-20 episodes of the show for next season.
Despite the ratings slide, ‘Heroes’ is still considered NBC’s top-rated series among adults 18-49 this season, along with workplace comedy ’The Office’.
NBC are also hoping to tie it’s upcoming ’Day One’ project to ‘Heroes’, should it be ordered to series. The drama, about a group of survivors in the wake of a catastrophic global event, could benefit from having an established sci-fi drama like ‘Heroes’ as it’s lead in/out.
“‘Day One’ is a big event and we’re looking at that to come into the ‘Heroes’ spot,” Bromstad said. “It’s right now being looked at as a 13-episode run — something people could commit to and we could make a big splash with.”

Heroes is such a maligned show, the quality may not be up to season 1 standards, but it is a lot better than other shows *cough* CSI, CBS Procedurals, House etc *cough*
