Could Heroes be making a comeback? It’s an odd and interesting time for TV fandom, as the return of Arrested Development on Netflix and the revival of Veronica Mars (via a Kickstarted movie) is causing a lot more “Hey, maybe this could come back too!” discussion about all sorts of shows.
TVLine is reporting that a Heroes revival is indeed as possibility though, with MSN – in the midst of planning a bigger push of original programming via Xbox – in talks to launch a new version of the superhero series that originally aired an on NBC from 2006-2010.
Unlike true cult (as in low rated, but holding onto a passionate fanbase) series like Arrested Development and Veronica Mars, Heroes was once a huge hit, only to suffer big ratings drops over its four year run, as the show suffered a lot of criticism from the press and its fans over story decisions.
TVLine notes that “Details remain sketchy” about the talks with MSN, but that the plan would be to use the Heroes name and franchise to launch a new series centered on new characters, while including cameos from some of the original cast – depending on availability and interest, of course. The talks are in the preliminary stages.
