MASTIDON of Ain't it Cool News received confirmation directly from actor Hayden Panettiere, at the the Berlin Film Festival, that Heroes is done for the season, despite the end of the WGA strike.
So, the second season has wrapped with 11 episodes. Apparently, one of the reasons there will be no more is that creator Tim Kring told NBC he thinks he can complete only three additional episodes this season. Moreover, Kring had hoped to use the next storyline to redeem the most recent one.
But, when the writer's strike hit in November, the Heroes scribes had just begun plotting the new storyline. The first episode of that arc, in fact, hadn’t fully been written. So, the last episode of "Generations," in which Hiro (Masi Oka)and his super-powered co-stars (barely) saved humanity from a global plague, was tweaked before airing in December, to allow it to serve as a season finale.
Beginning in April, Kring can assemble some more segments before relaunching the show. As he explained it: "With a show like Heroes that's so strongly serialized, and given what we wanted to accomplish with the new storyline, to come back with just three episodes could be creatively dangerous."
