"NBC is reviving Heroes, Tim Kring's popular sci-fi TV drama about people with superhuman abilities, as a miniseries in 2015. The network revealed the comeback Saturday night, saying it has ordered 13 episodes \"for a new standalone story arc\" called Heroes Reborn.\nBefore the show debuts on TV in 2015, NBC plans to launch a digital series to introduce the plot and characters. No cast members have been announced, though some may end up being from the original series' four seasons, which aired from 2006 to 2010. \n\nWas watching the Olympics and saw the #HeroesReborn trailer.

As NBC noted, 10 million DVDs of Heroes have been sold.\nHave something to add to this story?
