This week Heroes Reborn saw its first ratings jump of the season. The episode, “June 13, Part Two” received a 1.3 rating in the 18-49 demographic and kept a steady 3.95 million viewers. This episode gave fans more information on the Texas terror attack central to the plot of the series, and explained more unanswered questions from the Heroes final season. The hype for these answers may have contributed to the 60% raise in 18-34 year old viewers. However, the main reason for this increase was likely due to the fact that the show wasn’t up against a football game this week. CBS returned to normal programming with The Big Bang Theory and Life In Pieces. Since there was no game, Hereos Reborn gained some of its predominantly male fan base back. This was an exciting week for Heroes Reborn in terms of ratings, but also in terms of recognition. The show tweeted yesterday about its People’s Choice Award nomination for “Favorite New TV Drama.” Maybe some of this buzz will sway NBC into ordering a second season.
