Five years after fans said goodbye to the critically acclaimed NBC drama Heroes, creator Tim Kring is bringing the fantasy world of superpowers back to the small screen with Heroes Reborn. While the 13-episode event doesn’t pick up where the original series left off, the show is set in the same world as Heroes and some original characters appear. Heroes Reborn premiers on NBC on Thursday, September 24th at 8pm staring Jack Coleman, Ryan Guzman, Robbie Kay and Gatlin Green.

The show picks up one year after a terror attack in Odessa, Texas that left the city decimated. The world has just come to find out about Evolved Humans, those possessing powers, and blame the “Evos” for the attack leaving them hunted and outcast. The series follows those who survived the attack and the hunters seeking them.

For Heroes fans, the show is a welcome glimpse at the series they know and love. However, many wonder if this mini-series can carry its own fan base.
