Heroes is back in two weeks and fans are in for a treat as the hit superhero TV show returns to its explosive, shocking self.
After the second season suffered ratings-wise and ended early because of the Writers Guild strike, Heroes will return to BBC2 on October 1 with a special Heroes night of programming featuring a shock-a-minute volume titled Villains, introducing six new characters.
Creator Tim Kring says that the third season is bigger and better than ever before.
He told TV Guide: "I've aggressively adrenalised the storytelling. We're moving very quickly and revealing a lot of secrets and surprises on night one - the kinds we would have saved until episode seven or eight in the past."
And he reveals that viewers will find out more about the backgrounds of their favourite characters. "For everything we're giving away, there are more intense revelations coming quickly down the road - especially about the true nature of these special abilities. In the past, we've posited various theories," he added.
"Do these powers have a basis in science? Are they evolutionary? A gift from God? And how are all these people connected? This season, we're going to reframe those questions and take a turn that's really unexpected."
