A new Heroes reboot is in the works from series creator Tim Kring,Deadlinereports. The new series will be titled Heroes: Eclipse, presumably referencing the solar eclipse in the original show’s pilot, and set several years after the events of Heroes.
According to Deadline, the series will follow a new batch of heroes “being awakened and discovering powers that will change their lives. Featuring familiar villains and new enemies who once again will be attempting to suppress this next step in human evolution, it will be up to this new group of heroes to save the world.” Kring will write the series.
As for who these “familiar villains” in Heroes: Eclipsed could be, Quinto played the original series' biggest bad, the sadistic Sylar, across all four seasons, while Bell played sociopathic Elle Bishop in seasons 2 and 3. As the reboot is still being pitched to buyers, no casting information has been revealed yet.
