After becoming an almost immediate hit for NBC in Fall of , Heroes dropped significantly in the ratings over the past couple seasons. The NBC science fiction serial drama series Heroes follows the lives of people across the globe who possess various superhuman powers as they struggle to cope with their everyday lives and prevent foreseen disasters from occurring. The fourth and final season premiered on September 9, , and was released on DVD on July 27, Created by Tim Kring, Heroes ran for four seasons from until Its fourth season premiered in to an audience of 5.
Other official Heroes media include magazines, action figures, tie-in and interactive websites, a mobile game, a novel, clothing and other merchandise.
Was there supposed to be a season 5 of Heroes? How many seasons are there for Heroes? By its second season, viewership dropped by 15 percent, and things only got worse from there. Its fourth season premiered in to an audience of 5. So what happened? Was Heroes a series that simply wasn't meant to survive its first couple of seasons? Was it an issue of acting, directing, or writing?
Until we can sneak a peek into parallel universes and see what our alternates are doing, here's the real reason Heroes was canceled in this timeline, anyway. Heroes could be fairly merciless when it came to killing off important characters. That isn't necessarily a bad thing, but as early as the first season, characters who had wonderful promise — including ones played by actors any series should've bent over backwards to keep — were getting taken out like Batman 's sidekicks.
McDowell is an amazing talent, his name was arguably the biggest in the series, and Linderman was a fantastic villain — the kind you can't wait to see again. He was also a good example of one of Heroes ' refreshing touches: the types of abilities certain characters had went against what you would normally expect. For example, Nikki Ali Larter is the only character in season 1 with super strength, a power usually associated with male heroes. Likewise, Linderman's superpower was healing, which is a pretty benevolent power for a bad guy.
But whatever potential Linderman had was lost in "Landslide" — the first season's penultimate episode — when D. Leonard Roberts phased his fist through Linderman's brain, killing him instantly. Other characters with great promise who were taken out before the first season was up include Isaac Mendez Santiago Cabrera , who had the ability to paint the future, and Eden Nora Zehetner , who killed herself in the 11th episode rather than allow Sylar Zachary Quinto to absorb her powers.
While the first season of Heroes had an issue keeping promising characters alive, the following seasons took one too many pages from the comic books that inspired the show, and as a result suffered from not letting anyone stay dead. The first season finale, "How to Stop an Exploding Man," ended with Nathan Petrelli Adrian Pasdar flying his brother Peter Milo Ventimiglia as high as he could, after which Peter's radioactive build-up caused him to explode. Yet the second season premiere, "Four Months Later In the case of Nathan, the fact that he'd survived a nuclear explosion wasn't even treated as particularly strange.
The return of Peter was given much more weight, and the reveal acted as the episode's surprise conclusion. What was much more jarring was the death of Nikki Sanders and a strange resurrection that wasn't really a resurrection.
Nikki was caught in an exploding building in Heroes ' season 2 finale. The actress playing Nikki, Ali Larter, appeared as someone completely different in season 3. The new character was Tracy Strauss and instead of Nikki's super strength, Tracy exhibited the power to create and manipulate ice. Fans speculated Nikki had survived and was altered somehow, but no. It was eventually revealed Nikki and Tracy were two of three identical triplets, an explanation so lame they probably wouldn't even try it in a comic boo — no, they would.
They totally would. Season 2 of Heroes was 11 episodes long — less than half the length of its first season. There are things that he doesn't remember for various reasons that he has to go and find out why don't I know what I'm supposed to know here? He's uncovering a mystery. By having to go back to discover what happened or follow the trail of what happened, we unpack a lot of what happened in the intervening years, in a thriller-esque kind of way.
Who does he trust and what does he know and who's telling him the truth? Certain characters who are not returning were killed on this June 13 attack. Claire has the regenerative powers and could not be killed, unless her brain was destroyed. It's a big mystery because we all know that Claire shouldn't die. Don't know how, don't know why?
