HEROES Creator Tim Kring Reaches Out to “45 Million” Fans About the Show’s Cancellation

When NBC cancelled Heroes last week, countless passionate fans were crestfallen at the loss of one their favorite series — at least in theory.  I mean, the latest season of the superhero saga did average under five million viewers per episode, right?  Yet, in a statement addressing the Heroes fanbase, creator Tim Kring cited “more than 45 million TV viewers around the world.” He lamented, “I certainly understand [NBC's] challenge of creating a business model around a show which arrived precisely as the audience was finding new ways to watch traditional content on multiple screens.”  So the news likely did depress millions upon millions; unfortunately, too few were 18-49-year-olds who watched the show (and its commercials) live within the U.S., as those are the eyeballs advertisers shell out for.

My condolences to the fans, but hold out hope for a rumored  Heroes movie in 2011 to tie up the loose ends, and check out the whole Kring’s statement after the jump.

HEROES Volume 5 Premiere Synopsis

by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub    Posted: September 4th, 2009 at 10:37 am

While I have serious issues with NBC’s “Heroes”, I still watch every week. As I have said repeatedly on Collider, if you put people with super powers on TV, I’ll tune in. I know I have a problem.

Anyway, each season I always think this will be the year “Heroes” gets it right. They’ll finally write the show with some intelligence and come up with an interesting storyline. But then the show premieres, and I get mad that I still watch. So will this be the year “Heroes” turns it around? Probably not. But they have added Robert Knepper and Ray Park, so they’ve at least done something right. Anyhow, NBC has just released the synopsis for the two hour premiere airing September 21^st, so if you want to know what the premiere is about, click the jump. When NBC releases clips I’ll post them.
