Deadline is reporting that Heroes creator Tim Kring is looking to revive the TV franchise with a new spinoff series entitled Heroes: Eclipsed, which Universe Television is currently pitching to potential networks and streaming services.
The original Heroes premiered on NBC in 2006 and followed a group of ordinary people who discover they possess superpowers. The first season was a huge critical and ratings success and the show ran for a further three seasons, with a 13-episode follow-up miniseries Heroes Reborn airing in 2015.
Heroes Eclipsed “is set years after the events of the original series as new evos are being awakened and discovering powers that will change their lives. Featuring familiar villains and new enemies who once again will be attempting to suppress this next step in human evolution, it will be up to this new group of heroes to save the world.”
The series is being written by Tim Kring, who is also serving as executive producer. Universal Television is producing, but further details are being kept under wraps at present.
