The first-season of the hit-series “Heroes” will come to an end with a three-part season finale, according to series creator and producer, Tim Kring.
In an interview with SciFi Wire, Kring hinted at what’s to come as the first season comes to a close. There may be slight SPOILERs ahead, so if you want don’t want to know what will develop, please turn back now.
The season finale brings the paths of our heroes together in New York City, Kring said. He just completed writing the season finale, called “How to Stop an Exploding Man,” which begins filming this week.
“The whole thing converges in New York, … and they’re all there, and all of them play a role,” Kring said. Even though some may feel like they’re less significant to the final event, when you analyze it, each one had to play that role in order for the final event to be solved, and so there really was a kind of destiny quality to them coming together and having each one fulfilling [one thing] and one specific role.”
Kring said there would be several deaths in the season finale and hinted that one or more of them may be series regulars.
“The thing is, people knew fairly early on [that they might not make it through the season],” Kring said. “Everybody, every actor that we’ve spoken to. I mean, … we’ve spoken about this idea, that on this show the story is king and everybody is in service of that story. It’s not a star vehicle. No, the show does not live or die by any one character. And so every actor should realize that at some point their ticket might come up. It’s both sad and exciting at the same time.”
Of course, the finale will end on one of “Heroes”‘ famous cliffhangers. But Kring says the storylines will from this season will be resolved and we’ll be left to wonder about the fates of characters. Kring has previously stated that the first season’s story will be self-contained and he considers it to be “volume one.” Season two would be “volume two” and have its own arc.
“Heroes” returns on NBC with new episodes on Monday, April 23 and the season finale airs Monday, May 23.

I think I need to leave a comment,…
I’m from Indonesia,.. I’m so disappointed with the ending Heroes seasons 1, where as the story is good, so mystery, but had the bad ending.
