From
creator/writer Tim Kring (NBC's "Crossing Jordan")
comes the award-winning "Heroes," an epic drama
that chronicles the lives of ordinary people who discover
they possess extraordinary abilities. In its first two
seasons, "Heroes" was honored with a People's
Choice Award, an AFI Award, a Multicultural Prism Award,
a TV Land Future Classic Award, the TV Critics Association
Awards' Outstanding Program of the Year, and the International
prize at this year's BAFTA Television Awards, as well
as nominations at the Primetime Emmy Awards, Golden Globe
Awards, NAACP Image Awards, WGA Awards and Satellite Awards.
On Monday, September 22, "Heroes" returns for
its third season, with a brand-new chapter, "Volume
3: Villains," which will explore the nature of good
and evil in all the characters, as a cadre of villains
is unleashed upon the world.
Previously
in "Volume 1: Genesis" and "Volume 2: Generations,"
when a total eclipse cast its shadow across the globe,
a multitude of everyday men and women with special powers
seemingly were called forth. To prevent grim predictions
of the future, a handful of these individuals banded together
to save the cheerleader, New York City, and the world.
Now, as ominous, new signs signal catastrophe ahead, new
and familiar adversaries begin to gather…
With
his abilities returned to him, serial killer Sylar (Zachary
Quinto) relentlessly continues to accumulate other people's
abilities, which leads him to the Bennet house. Bound
to a secret company with a keen interest in people like
his daughter, "H.R.G.," a.k.a. Noah Bennet (Jack
Coleman), finds new purpose when his most dangerous, fantastic
foes break out of custody and must be dragged back. Reeling
from recent events and revelations, Claire Bennet (Hayden
Panettiere), an indestructible high school cheerleader,
struggles to define her identity and place in the world.
An
act of heroism unveils an amazing secret about Niki Sanders
(Ali Larter), a Las Vegas single mother with astonishing
strength -- and an unknown, hidden family. In Japan, Yamagato
Industries heir Hiro Nakamura (Masi Oka) continues to
use his ability to pierce the space-time continuum and
manipulate time to leap into wild, international adventures
with his best friend, Ando Masahashi (James Kyson Lee).
Nathan
Petrelli's (Adrian Pasdar) attempted assassination leads
several Heroes on a stunning spiritual quest to explain
his power of flight. For his younger brother, Peter (Milo
Ventimiglia), the future and present collide as his many
absorbed powers lead him to discover that the only way
to end the catastrophic moment facing the world is to
do the unimaginable. Meanwhile, their ruthless mother
Angela (Cristine Rose) and her associates continue their
ongoing, complex machinations to change the world from
the shadows.
Former
LAPD officer Matt Parkman (Greg Grunberg) is taught new
ways to use his expanding ability to hear and manipulate
other's thoughts by an unlikely guide. Dr. Mohinder Suresh
(Sendhil Ramamurthy), a genetics professor from India,
takes a dangerous step into darkness as his research into
those with extraordinary abilities living among us continues.
Far from her Dominican Republic home, Maya Herrera (Dania
Ramirez), who causes death when filled with fear or anger,
begs Suresh to cure her – only to watch helplessly
as he embraces his darker side.
Their
ultimate destiny is nothing less than saving the world...
Joining
Kring as executive producers are Dennis Hammer (NBC's
"Crossing Jordan"), Allan Arkush (NBC's "Crossing
Jordan") and Greg Beeman ("Smallville").
The drama is produced by Universal Media Studios in association
with Tailwind Productions.
