Promising to go “back to the basics of the characters” and that “everybody has gotten really invested in the show,” producer Bryan Fuller says there will be “a new spirit” for the upcoming fourth season of “Heroes.”
Talking to SciFi Wire, Fuller said he believes every volume “has been valid, and every one has been a slightly different style, which I think is interesting. I love how the show is continuing to grow. It is evolving, and I do think there is a lot of good stuff in ‘Fugitives’ and ‘Redemption.”
Fans wondering what will happen next will be happy to know that the events of the season three/volume four finale will have an impact on the season to come. (And just a word of warning that we’ve got SPOILERS coming…)
“”I’m just excited about getting back to the basics and getting back to the real world and seeing what it’s like for HRG [Jack Coleman] to try to re-create a company when every version of it has failed in the past,” he said. “And not only doing that, but going through a divorce and trying to hold his family together. And for every plot conceit that we have for a character, we have even more conceits for what’s going on in their personal lives that makes their plot story so much more complicated, because their emotional, personal story is so intrinsically tied with what’s happening with them. I like the balance of the personal lives that we’re telling this season.”
“Heroes” will return in the fall with 19 new episodes. The series will run on consecutive Mondays until the Winter Olympics. After that, “Chuck” takes over the time slot.
Not coming back for me. This is, what, the fourth time they say that they’ve “fixed” everything that was wrong with it? I just can’t find the space in my brain to believe them.
@Gazerbeam: Ditto. There was nothing wrong with it season 1 – They keep trying to fix something that wasn’t broken, and it keeps getting worse.
I understand the “we’re heard this before” concerns about fixing Heroes.
The reason I’m willing to come back is that Bryan Fuller is helping to lead things this season. That may or may not do the trick…time will tell.
The problem isn’t with Fuller…the problem is you still have Tim Kring in charge of this show.
Kring has shown that while he may know how to start a good story, when it comes to finishing the story, he has no clue. For evidence, I point out the end of every volume of this show that has, for the most part, been exactly the same–everyone has to team up to stop Sylar.
Kring needs to find a new story….
He’s the Russell T. Davies of American television.
