Most Likely Cancelled

We now know Heroes is over and that the show will not be returning next season – but there has been continuing talk about a possible wrap up story for the series, comprised of a TV-Movie or two night, four hour event.

During a conference call today, I asked NBC's Angela Bromstad about the decision to end the series and she replied that after conversations with series creator Tim Kring, "We felt we had satisfied the viewers desire in terms of the show and the length of its run."

However, Bromstad did confirm that conversations with Kring are currently underway about a conclusion -- though she specifically said it would be a two-hour TV-Movie, seemingly squashing the possibility of it being done over two nights/four hours.

Doesn't looks good, Heroes Fans.

I'm not too upset myself, but I still have some sympathy for the people left hanging, story wise.

I wasn't a fan of Season Four, or Most of Season Thee. I loved Season One, and thought Season Two was okay, though. So many plots were left unclosed, and the story just went in a awful direction.

My Elle Bishop love will always last, though.
And my Sylar love, too. Although he got very, very overused.

What do you guys think? Will Heroes manage to pull off a fifth, and final season? If it does, I will probably watch, just because I'm so caught up.

[Hellbound Hyperion]

Nah, they're done. A TV movie to wrap it all up would be interesting though.

Of course, NBC still has Day One on their shelves, too. Maybe they just do a TV movie night, have Heroes wrap up and show Day One. I wouldn't mind that.

[Wyndam]

I'm down for a TV movie, but I don't really care either way. Season 4 was better, but it's time to end it.

Elle karma!

I can't say this is a surprise, but it's kind of a shame. I thought it would probably get a 13-episode order, just because you really need 5 seasons for a syndication package. But I guess the show is just too expensive.

They say we might get a movie to wrap up the storyline, maybe even a 2-parter. I hope so. We need to find out what happens after Claire "outs" the specials. Also, is Sylar's conversion to Team Good for real, and will love blossom for Claire and Gretchen?

I loved the first season, liked the second season. The "Villains" arc of season 3 was just atrocious, except for the Elle stuff. I quit watching when they wasted her character, and didn't start again until season 4, which showed definite improvement.

If they do a finale movie, I hope they get Bryan Fuller to write it.

ETA: I think NBC are overly optimistic about the prospects for their new shows. If I recall, they were pretty sure five hours a week of primetime Jay Leno was a sure bet, too. The fact is, NBC is run by a bunch of genuine dillweeds. I predict that when the ratings for these new shows start coming in, Heroes's 5 million viewers will start looking pretty good by comparison.

The newest update says it may be getting six more episodes, to wrap up the show once and for all. I'd be okay with that!

EDIT -----
R.I.P Heroes. You were once great. </3

The news of cancellation was first announced by The Hollywood Reporter

Here is their report:

The network seriously mulled bringing back "Heroes" for a shortened season to wrap up the serialized show, possibly as a two- or four-hour movie.

In the end, given the fairly high cost of the drama, the show's consistently declining ratings and the number of new hour-longs coming to NBC next season, the network decided the UMS-produced series wasn't worth an additional episode order.

I'll be sporting my Heores Avi/Banner around for a few days, for remembrance. And I'll also be finishing Season 4.

[Hellbound Hyperion]

NBC has decided to wrap up the story somehow. We'll find out more after upfronts this week.

At least we won't be left hanging.

[Hallow Thorn]

Oohhh No!... But I am so happy we are getting some kind of a real end.

[PJ]

I'm really disipointed of how Heroes has gone of from being an awesome show, to a really lame extended show. I kinda lost track after the end of season two, or mid season 3. I still want to own season 1 but im not sure on the other seasons...

According to Yahoo.com, Heroes is 'Cancelled Without Finale'. That was the title of the article.

[Mayor Of F♥ckville]

Season 1 - 3 were actually okay. I didn't care for the last half of season 3 though. I loved season 2... ELLE.

[VampSlayer]

Yeah, Elle is the bestest thing ever... Or one of them. ;D

[Hallow Thorn]

Yeah, it never got better then season 1. It could have if Elle was around longer but when she was on it was gold.

[PJ]

I REALLY wish they would have made the Elle action figure before the show ended. I would have so bought and kept that one.
But sorry to say Heroes really did have it coming, and does anyone have any logical idea of what a good ending to the series would be(if they did make one)

. Well, my first guess would be that they turned into 'Fugitives', but I think that's already been done already. As for the action figure, I saw one on photobucket, but it may have been a fan made one. It was actually really great, and looked a lot like Kristen Bell.

[PJ]

Did it look like this? Because this is the official one.

SPOILER: Click to show

It was the one here:

The picture you linked isn't working, so I can't be sure if it's the same. :X

[PJ]

woops, yeah that was the one i posted. and yep it's the official one!

[Beaumonde]

Sorry for the fans. But it's about time they cancelled this show.

So, talks of a two hour movie are still in session. ;D
