Heroes is an American science fiction serial drama television series created by Tim Kring, which premiered on NBC on September 25, 2006. It tells the story of individuals who discover that they have superhuman abilities, how they adapt to the changes these abilities bring, and their roles in preventing catastrophe and saving humanity. The series emulates the style of American comic books in aesthetic style as well as storytelling, using short, multi-episode story arcs that build upon a larger, more encompassing arc. According to Kring, he and the writers "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 with 24 episodes ordered for the second season. The second season of Heroes premiered on September 24, 2007, but only eleven episodes have been broadcast, due to the current strike by the Writers Guild of America. The dispute has also led to the postponement of a six episode spin-off, Heroes: Origins, which was originally expected to air in April and May 2008.
