A stylized dramatic series that tells the story of a group of ordinary people who develop extraordinary powers. Characters include high school cheerleader Claire Bennet (Hayden Panettiere), artist Isaac Mendez (Santiago Cabrera), Japanese programmer Hiro Nakamura (Masi Oka), LAPD officer Matt Parkman (Greg Grunberg), Congressional candidate Nathan Petrelli (Adrian Pasdar), hospice nurse Peter Petrelli (Milo Ventimiglia), stripper Niki Sanders (Ali Larter), serial killer Gabriel Sylar Gray (Zachary Quinto), and genetics professor Mohinder Suresh (Sendhil Ramamurthy).
Victims of this commotion (wild guess) might be needing some doctors opinion on his broken arm, maybe even a second opinion? Casting calls for an E.R. doctor. He will have to 32-48 years old, whatever gender and ethnicity. He or she will be working in a hospital (maybe) and still located in Odessa, Texas. Someone has to assist the E.R. doctor right? So casting calls for a paramedic whose age range will be 30-40 male or female and any ethnicity. All he needs to do is show care and concern for an injured patient. And lastly, someone to scare people off, scary guy #1 and scary guy #2. This time, thery are looking only for males (thus, scary GUYS) 25 to 35 years old who will be preying on civilians in New York City.
A preview video was actually released this month. It showed who could have possibly have shot Nathan. So does this mean his dead on the third season? Better see it for yourself. But surely, the next spoiler reveals that a main character will die, but who? It wasn’t revealed, though the killer was revealed, and it was… Sylar! Yes that’s right, it was Sylar, but who he killed, you have to find that out for yourself. There will also be a new speedy character in season three. Who this character was, it wasn’t revealed yet, but it will played by Brea Grant.
Fans of the Heroes series are anticipating for the season three that has been revealed to be aired on September 22, 2008! And as the third season draws near, more and more clues are being left behind by the production crew. Airing date is not much of a spoiler, but what about what has been planned for the characters? Interesting enough for you to read on? When airing date was announced, the first episode will be three hours long, how about that, it is as if you’re watching a movie in a cinema because of its episode length? The first hour will be dedicated to a recap to the last two seasons of the show and then the next two hours will be allotted for the first episode, The Butterfly Effect.
For season one, there were twenty-three episodes aired to the public. Then for season two of Heroes, there were only eleven put on air. But for season three, rumor has it that there will be thirty-five episodes. The first episode will be three hours long! The first hour will be like a recap to what has happened in the last two seasons and the 2nd and 3rd hour dedicated to the first episode of the 3rd season. It is almost as long as any movie on cinemas. For fans that just can’t get enough of Heroes, they will surely get so much with its 35 episodes for season three.
If you’ve always wanted to share some spotlight with your favorite Heroes character, this may be your chance.
Spoiler TV has just posted casting sheets for the first two episodes of Heroes Season 3. If you remember our previous post, the first two mentioned are The Butterfly Effect and Dreamtime.
The sheet offers very little information but there are some important ones. For example, they are looking for someone to play Jessie: an intense guy with an explosive temper. Violent. Cruel. A mean looking S.O.B. Cool thing about this is that this will be a recurring character in the show!
Another actor they’re looking for is someone who can play an African Aborigine, described as a member of the Maasai, Samburu or another similar nomadic pastoral tribe. A storyteller with great wisdom. Is this Mohinder’s replacement?

The Final episode from the last season left us at a cliffhanger: Nathan Petrlli shot by an assassin, and Niki blown up to pieces. It’s a great thing then that TV Guide was able to corner the Heroes Executive Producer and Director, Allan Akrush, and interrogate him on next season.
According to Arkush, there will be some big surprises and changes come next season. Some changes will be that new characters will be coming out of the woodwork. “There will be characters coming that you’ve heard about.” Another cool thing coming would be involving quite a lot of physics. We are going to play with time and we are playing a lot with space and where people are on the planet.”

If you get two new characters in already filled-up show, will it affect your viewing? I thought I was watching Heroes, not a TV series adaptation of War and Peace.
Nevertheless, the creators of the show has decided to put in two characters. Will they have powers or will they just be acting as support? Well, according to TV Guide’s Michael Ausiello, its a go:
Two new recurring roles are being cast, both of which are slated to debut in the Season 3 premiere. Joy is in her early twenties and described as quick on her feet and adept at getting herself into and out of trouble. Senator Robert Malden, meanwhile, is in his fifties and a political straight shooter.
The clues he left us looks like these two will be powered up as well. But will they join our Heroes or go with the Villains?

Whats interesting is the first one, called, The Butterfly Effect.†It actually has a Wikipedia entry, if you’d like to read it. It’s basically how a small event can cause a catastrophe some point in the future. Does this mean someone goes back in time and does something that drastically changes the present (or future?) or is it something else?
