Cut to a year later: Suresh has been blamed for the explosion and evos are being either forced to register with the government or are being hunted by fringe groups. Just as the voicemail ends, there’s an incredible explosion that completely levels the Primatech campus. He is about to attend some kind of human/supers-who are now called “evos”-peace summit at Primatech. Noah Bennet (Jack Coleman) is leaving for daughter Claire. This new series opens with a voicemail that HRG a.k.a. It has a built in audience! It’ll automatically generate headlines! Though NBC appears to be making a similar decision with Heroes Reborn, deciding to bring back a series that many soured on by the end seems like a bad idea. So networks have figured out that is easier to greenlight a nostalgia series ( Twin Peaks, The X-Files, Fuller House) than a new series.

In this era of Peak TV, FOMO is real and it is crippling. We are busy people with lives and limited time to commit to a series that is either going to bore us or break our hearts. Heroes Reborn, Season 1, Episode 1, “Brave New World”ĭirected by Matt Shakman (“Brave New World”), Greg Beeman (“Odessa”)Įvery new show has to work to sell the viewer on why it deserves to exist instead of, say, a new season of Hannibal.

Heroes a brave new world
