NBC Announces Heroes: Reborn Miniseries for 2015 Premiere and Releases Teaser Trailer

What's left to save after cheerleaders and the world?

During NBC's airing of the Winter Olympics on Saturday, the network surprised viewers with a teaser for Heroes: Reborn.

Set to air in 2015, Reborn will be a 13-episode miniseries featuring a stand-alone arc. It is worth noting that the first Heroes series was originally planned as having a different stand-alone story arc each season. However, those who watched the 2006-2010 run will remember that the show ended up following the first season characters throughout its lifespan.

Though no story details have been revealed, we do know that creator Tim Kring will return to executive produce the miniseries. Also, a digital series will debut prior to Reborn to introduce the main characters.

“The enormous impact ‘Heroes’ had on the television landscape when it first launched in 2006 was eye-opening,” said NBC Entertainment  President Jennifer Salke in a statement. “Shows with that kind of resonance don’t come around often and we thought it was time for another installment. We’re thrilled that visionary creator Tim Kring was as excited about jumping back into this show as we were and we look forward to all the new textures and layers Tim plans to add to his original concept. Until we get closer to air in 2015, the show will be appropriately shrouded in secrecy, but we won’t rule out the possibility of some of the show’s original cast members popping back in.”

Many critics would argue that Heroes "Peter-ed" out after season 1.

Does the idea of characters like Peter (Milo Ventigmiglia) and Sylar (Zachary Quinto) making a reappearance excite you, or would you rather start over with a clean slate?
