TV.com summary

Heroes is an American science fiction drama television series created by Tim Kring. It premiered on NBC on September 25, 2006.
The show tells the story of several people who "thought they were like
everyone else... until they realized they have incredible abilities."
These people soon realize they have a role in preventing a catastrophe and saving humanity. The series emulates the style of American comic books
in aesthetic as well as storytelling (i.e. short, multi-episode story
arcs that build upon a larger, more encompassing arc). Kring said "we
have talked about where the show goes up to five seasons."[1]
When the series premiered in the United States, it was the night's
most-watched program among adults aged 18-49, attracting 14.3 million
viewers overall and receiving the highest rating for any NBC drama premiere in five years.[2] The first season's run consisted of 23 episodes; 24 episodes were ordered for the second season,[3] to be followed by six episodes of a new spin-off, Heroes: Origins.[4] The second season of Heroes premiered on September 24, 2007,[5] and is being cut short by the 2007 Writers Guild of America Strike. 11 of 24 planned episodes are ready for broadcast,[6] and due to the strike, the December 3, 2007 broadcast of "Powerless" may serve as the season finale.[7] The strike also led to the postponement of Heroes: Origins, originally expected to air in April and May of 2008.[8][9]
