According to <a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2024\/04\/heroes-reboot-series-tim-kring-1235880431\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Deadline<\/a>, Heroes and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/programmes\/heroes-reborn\/\">Heroes Reborn<\/a> creator Tim Kring is currently pitching another <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/programmes\/heroes\/\">Heroes<\/a> revival, officially taking the \u2018if at first you don\u2019t succeed, try, try again\u2019 mantra to new heights.<\/p>\n<p>If nothing else, we\u2019ve got to admire his commitment. And, to be fair, the sci-fi series\u2019s first season \u2013 which aired on NBC in 2006 to record-breaking ratings, and which went on to receive eight Emmy nominations \u2013 was far from a failure.<\/p>\n<p>Subsequent seasons and the 2015 reboot Heroes Reborn, however, had a much more lukewarm reception.<\/p>\n<p>Kring\u2019s latest attempt to do his original concept justice is being pitched as Heroes: Eclipsed, and will reportedly follow a fresh group of Evos grappling with their newfound powers, years after the events of the original series.<\/p>\n<div
