Despite the series low ratings for this expensive show and the resulting speculation surrounding what that would mean for its future, NBC entertainment president Angela Bromstad told THR that Heroes is not considered “on the bubble” for renewal. Additionally, she indicated that Heroes season 4 will be 18-20 episodes, somewhat abridged from a typical season order (the current season is 23 episodes).
Granted, regardless of how much people are talking about Heroes ratings decline, it is still tied with The Office as NBC’s top show among the key 18-49 demographic. Additionally, Day One, the upcoming show about a group of survivors in the wake of a catastrophic global event, may make a good combination with Heroes for a sci fi block.
While this news does not serve as official confirmation of the series receiving a renewal, it sure would seem that it’s unlikely that it will be cancelled.
