until they woke with incredible abilities" such as telepathy, time travel and flight. These people soon realize they have a role in preventing a catastrophe and saving mankind.
The series loosely follows the writing style of American comics by doing short, multi-episode story arcs that build upon a larger, more encompassing arc. Even with small story arcs that move the story forward, Kring said he mapped out where he intends the show to go for the next five seasons.
When the series premiered in the United States, it was the night's most-watched program among adults 18-49, attracting 14.3 million viewers overall and receiving the highest rating for any NBC drama premiere in five years.
On October 6, 2006, NBC Entertainment President Kevin Reilly announced Heroes had been picked up for a full season. The show is currently on hiatus until January 22, 2007. On January 17, 2007, Reilly announced Heroes had been picked up for a second season.
