'Heroes Reborn' Character Update: Meet The Six New Players Here!

“Heroes Reborn” is set to premiere at the end of September 2015. A character update was provided, featuring six new players.

Screen Rant wrote that “Heroes Reborn” will be set five years after the events of “Heroes”. It was revealed that although the plot will still unfold in the same universe, the environment is no longer as pleasant for the Evos, or individuals with special powers. The first series delved into the birth of Evos and individual characters discovering their abilities. In the end of “Heroes”, Claire Bennet (Hayden Panettiere) exposed the Evos to the rest of the world and challenged everyone to accept them. However, the plan did not turn out very well in “Heroes Reborn”, as the Evosare being persecuted and hunted.

“Heroes Reborn” will serve as the 10th Season in the series by Tim Kring, Slash Film reported. “Heroes” ran for four seasons but Kring said that the events in the upcoming series will make fans feel like it is already Season 10. Kring mentioned that Claire will still have a huge influence over the story of “Heroes Reborn”. Deadline wrote that Claire will already be dead in the new series, however. Other returning characters from “Heroes” will also inspire the storyline of the new series. Angela Petrelli’s (Christine Rose) predictions and Hiro Nakamura’s (Masi Oka) time traveling adventures will still be featured in the plot. Mohinder Suresh (Sendhil Ramamurthy) will also be returning. However, Sylar (Zachary Quinto) will not be coming back and his character will not be mentioned in “Heroes Reborn”, based on a Screen Rant report.

Based on the same Screen Rant report, the six new players in the upcoming TV show include Carlos, Malina, Tommy, Emily, Joanne and a currently unknown character. Army vet Carlos (Ryan Guzman) who will struggle with various mental and personal issues. Malina (Danika Yarsoh), who will attempt to discover her destiny for greatness, as she was told. Tommy (Robbie Kay) is a seemingly typical teenager with extraordinary powers. Emily (Gatlyn Green) is Tommy’s crush who gets involved in his predicament. Joanne (Judith Shekoni) is on a mission to avenge her loved ones. The sixth character, who is still unknown at the moment, will be played by Dylan Bruce. He was described as a survivalist for his own advantage.

“Heroes Reborn” will feature a two-hour premiere on Thursday, September 24, 2015 at 8:00 p.m. on NBC.

More updates and details on the new spin-off series are expected soon.
