Heroes (TV Series)
•May 25, 2008 • Leave a CommentHeroes is an American science fiction serial drama television series created by Tim Kring, which premiered on NBC on September 25, 2006.[1] The series tells the stories of ordinary individuals who discover that they have superhuman abilities, and also explores how these people adapt to the changes these abilities bring, and their roles in preventing catastrophes and saving humanity. The series emulates the aesthetic style and storytelling of American comic books, using short, multi-episode story arcs that build upon a larger, more encompassing arc. Kring and the writers have an idea of where the series is heading for the first five seasons.[2] The series is produced by Universal Media Studios in association with Tailwind Productions,[3]Los Angeles, California.[4] The executive producers are Allan Arkush, Dennis Hammer, Greg Beeman and Tim Kring.
The critically acclaimed first season’s run of 23 episodes[5][3] garnered an average of 14.3 million viewers in the United States, receiving the highest rating for any NBC drama premiere in five years.[6] The second season of Heroes attracted an average of 13.1 million viewers in the United States.[7] The second season was NBC’s top series in adults 18-49,[7] the top Monday series on any network in adults 18–49,[7] and the top scripted series on any network in adults 18-34.[7] 24 episodes were ordered for the second season,[8] but only eleven episodes were broadcast,[9] due to the 100-day strike by the Writers Guild of America.[10][11] The dispute led to the initial postponement and eventual cancellation[12] of a six episode spin-off titled Heroes: Origins. Heroes will return with its third season[7] on September 15, 2008.[12]
A digital-internet extension of the series, Heroes 360 Experience, was created to explore the Heroesmythology. It was rebranded as universe and provides insight into the show’s Heroes Evolutions at the beginning of the second season.[13] Heroes Evolutions also includes graphic novels, which have been released every Tuesday since September 25, 2006, and were published by WildStorm Comics on November 7, 2007.[14] Other official Heroes media include magazines, action figures, tie-in and interactive websites, a mobile game, a novel, clothing and other merchandise. NBC Universal announced on April 2, 2008, that NBC Digital Entertainment would release a series on online content for the summer and fall of 2008, including more original web content, wireless iTV interactivity, graphic novels available for mobile viewing and webisodes.
Cast and characters
Originally, Kring designed the series to have an ever-shifting cast. However, his motivation changed when he realized how big the original cast hit with audiences; therefore he brought back most of the first season cast for the second season, with a few additions who received a star billing.[32] In its first season, the show features an ensemble cast of twelve main characters making it the third largest cast in American primetime television behind Desperate Housewives and Lost. Although NBC’s first season cast page lists only ten characters,[33] Leonard Roberts (D.L. Hawkins), who first appeared in the series’ fifth episode, was an additional member of the original full-time cast.[34] In episode eleven of the first season, Jack ColemanNoah Bennet) was upgraded from a recurring role to become the twelfth full-time cast member.[35] (
Zachary Quinto and James Kyson Lee, who were recurring cast members in the first season, joined the main cast for the second season.[36][37] They were joined by new cast members David Anders,[38] Kristen Bell,[39]Dana Davis[40] and Dania Ramírez.[41] Anders was originally cast for a recurring role, and was upgraded to a series regular before the season began. He was listed as a guest star until the fifth episode of season two, when he was then listed as a main cast member.[38][42] At the start of season two Santiago Cabrera, Tawny Cypress, and Leonard Roberts were no longer listed as part of the main cast,[43] although Leonard Roberts’ character appeared in season two as a guest starring role.[44] The series also features many guest and recurring characters, including friends and family of the main cast, criminals and villains, and other individuals with superhuman abilities.
