Not even a snappy title could rescue this short-lived reboot of Heroes. TV critics panned the emphasis on special effects and melodrama in the sci-fi series, which connects with the premise of the first season of the parent show. The series released 13 episodes between 2015 and 2016, in addition to a handful of webisodes. NBC Entertainment Chairman Bob Greenblatt said that this short run was always the plan, unless creator Tim Kring had more to tell.
