Heroes is coming back for a fourth season.
There's been doubt about this show's status because ratings have been awful (and that's being generous).
NBC plans to order 18-20 episodes for next season, according to NBC entertainment president Angela Bromstad.
Calm down, Matt. Heroes is coming back.
Despite the low numbers, Heroes is tied with The Office as the network's number-one show in the key 18-49 year-old demographic.
"Every single place you go has heard about Heroes - whether you’re in China or Japan or Russia," Bromstad said. "And to me, that is global content."

I'm chuffed to bits that there will be a Fourth Season. But if it doesn't deliver like Season 1, then it really will be the final straw for me. They have made countless staff changes and had Bryan Fuller come back. The show has really been a let down since Volume 1 I.M.O., with a slow 2nd, appauling 3rd, and, granted, a steady, entertaining 4th. If Volume 5 is even slightly worse, thats it. Anyone agree?

I can finally breathe a sigh of relief!!! Something to look forward to when Fugitives is done. Its been a rocky road for heroes, a bit patchy or a little inconsistant in places. But ive enjoyed every minute of it. Bring on season 4!!! Cant bloody wait already!!

I think the bad patches were essential. The writers have now learned from their mistakes and are ready to make Heroes the show it should be.
Well, thats what everyones hoping anyway...

He's right, Heroes has global appeal. I'm from Singapore so I've to wait months before I can watch the latest season. So even if the rating isn't as good as it used to be, it doesn't mean the world isn't watching anymore! I'll be really bummed if it's cancelled.

hope your right. Read the Heroes coming back in fall review and claire haters it ain't good news.
If it just going to be about claire and who ever else in the petrelli clan that's left I may as well say goodbye to my favorite show after this volume's done. sad I know but how much can people take off claire trying to be bad girlish or her normal whiny self. I don't think I can after this thriller of a volume is over.
