NBC Entertainment president Angela Bromstad told The Hollywood Reporter that “Heroes” is very likely to receive a fourth season.<\/p>\n
Though NBC has not officially renewed the series, Bromstad said that the show is not considered a “bubble” series and that an eighteen to twenty episode order will be issued for next season.<\/p>\n
The series, which took over some of “Lost”‘s buzz and “24”‘s viewers in its highly acclaimed first season, began a downward spiral last year. With its storyline cut short by the writers’ strike, the show returned for a third season this fall to poor reviews and a smaller audience. Its reboot this winter, a stripped down “volume four” that features a more straightforward “Heroes vs. Hunter” storyline, has not at all spiked the ratings.<\/p>\n
Nonetheless, NBC does not view the ratings as a problem. A big advantage for “Heroes”‘ future is its massive global appeal.<\/p>\n
“Every single place you go has heard about ‘Heroes’ — whether you’re in China or Japan or Russia,” said Bromstad. “And to me, that is global content.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[2,3],"tags":[],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\n
