6. Heroes Reborn
Heroes is often cited high on the list of series that were “great in the first season, terrible for the rest.” Five years after its sudden cancellation, the NBC phenomenon is making a big comeback in this 13-episode series. While some faces won’t be around (most prominently Hayden Panettiere as cheerleader Claire), many more return with Jack Coleman as Noah Bennett and Masi Oka as time-travelling Hiro.
The plot has the super-powered humans called “Evos” blamed for a massive disaster and forced into hiding with Noah searching for the truth. The new cast includes Robbie Kay, Zachery Levi, Gatlin Green, Danika Yarosh and Kiki Sukezane and promises to return to the same mix of thrills, action and mystery that made the show a hit in the first place. While there are doubts, the fact NBC is giving it a new chance promises the closure fans of the series never had and perhaps a true rebirth and redemption for a series that seemed to lose its way.
