‘Heroes: Reborn’ spoilers: Official details on two-hour premiere
After spending a great deal of time eagerly awaiting its reveal, we now come bearing the good news: Some of the first official details regarding “Heroes: Reborn” on NBC. It’s a show that there is a massive amount of anticipation for, and to go along with that, mass expectation. Everyone wants to see the show mostly live up to the promise of the first season, and not suffer so much under the weight of everything that happened to it after that.
NBC has been for the most part really hesitant to release a whole lot of scoop on the before now, but they release what has to be considered a very detailed synopsis of some of the new characters, what their motives are, and also how the story plans on moving forward even without many familiar faces around:
“After a terrorist attack in Odessa, Texas, left the city decimated and lives in shambles, those with extraordinary abilities are in hiding after being blamed for the catastrophic event. A new world order has them being hunted by those with nefarious motives, such as Luke (Zachary Levi) and Joanne Collins (Judi Shekoni), who are out to avenge a tragic loss of their son. Meanwhile, Noah Bennet (Jack Coleman) has taken measures to put his old life behind him and start over, until he comes face to face with Quentin Frady (Henry Zebrowski), a conspiracy theorist out to uncover the truth behind the Odessa tragedy. Elsewhere, some are discovering their newfound skills. Awkward teen Tommy (Robbie Kay) just wants to be normal and win the girl of his dreams, Emily (Gatlin Green), but normalcy is virtually impossible after learning of a new ability that terrifies him. Coming from a very sheltered upbringing, a bold and ethereal teenager, Malina (Danika Yarosh), has been told she is destined for greatness. In Tokyo, a quiet and unique young woman, Miko (Kiki Sukezane), is trying to track down her missing father while hiding an extraordinary secret that will make her a force to be reckoned with. In Los Angeles, a different type of hero is emerging through former soldier Carlos (Ryan Guzman). For better or for worse, some are fated to cross paths with assorted heroes of the past and together their ultimate destiny is nothing less than saving the world and mankind.”
For those wondering, the premiere is also going to feature an appearance from Jimmy-Jean Louis as the Haitian, a beloved character from the original series. Eventually, we know that Masi Oka is going to return as Hiro Nakamura, but for the time being he is not listed in the show’s guest cast. Maybe that is intentional, and the show really wants to set up some sort of enormous surprise.
