Heroes is an American science fiction serial drama television series created by Tim Kring. It premiered on NBC on September 25, 2006. The show tells the story of several people who "thought they were like everyone else... until they realized they have incredible abilities." These people soon realize they have a role in preventing catastrophe and saving humanity. The series emulates the style of American comic books in aesthetic, as well as storytelling (i.e. short, multi-episode story arcs that build upon a larger, more encompassing arc). Kring said "we have talked about where the show goes up to five seasons." The first season attracted an average of 14.3 million viewers in the United States and received the highest rating for any NBC drama premiere in five years. The first season's run consisted of 23 episodes; 24 episodes were ordered for the second season.The second season of Heroes premiered on September 24, 2007, but only 11 of 24 episodes have been broadcast, due to the writers' strike The dispute also led to the postponement of a six episode spin-off, Heroes:Origins, which was originally expected to air in April and May of 2008.
