HEROES REBORN: Meet the Cast & Premiere Synopsis

By Liz | September 10, 2015

There isn’t too much in the new Fall 2015 TV list that I’m excited about. Heroes Reborn is definitely one of them though. I was a fan of the original series back in the day. I was also one of those who quit the show after season 2. When news started to leak out about resurrecting the show I was pretty skeptical. As I have followed the casting news and the various interviews with Tim Kring my curiosity has been growing. Since Comic Con and the subsequent trailers I am at full-blown, give-it-to-me-NOW mode. I am no longer afraid.

While there is no longer a cheerleader to save, heroes themselves may need saving. And the world may still need them to be saved.

Press release for the 2-hour premiere

“BRAVE NEW WORLD / ODESSA”

After a terrorist attack in Odessa, Texas, left the city decimated and lives in shambles, those with extraordinary abilities are in hiding after being blamed for the catastrophic event. A new world order has them being hunted by those with nefarious motives, such as Luke (Zachary Levi) and Joanne Collins (Judi Shekoni), who are out to avenge a tragic loss of their son.

Meanwhile, Noah Bennet (Jack Coleman) has taken measures to put his old life behind him and start over, until he comes face to face with Quentin Frady (Henry Zebrowski), a conspiracy theorist out to uncover the truth behind the Odessa tragedy.

Elsewhere, some are discovering their newfound skills. Awkward teen Tommy (Robbie Kay) just wants to be normal and win the girl of his dreams, Emily (Gatlin Green), but normalcy is virtually impossible after learning of a new ability that terrifies him. Coming from a very sheltered upbringing, a bold and ethereal teenager, Malina (Danika Yarosh), has been told she is destined for greatness. In Tokyo, a quiet and unique young woman, Miko (Kiki Sukezane), is trying to track down her missing father while hiding an extraordinary secret that will make her a force to be reckoned with. In Los Angeles, a different type of hero is emerging through former soldier Carlos (Ryan Guzman). For better or for worse, some are fated to cross paths with assorted heroes of the past and together their ultimate destiny is nothing less than saving the world and mankind.

Jimmy Jean-Louis, Pruitt Taylor Vince, Toru Uchikado, Eve Harlow and Francesca Eastwood guest star.

“Heroes Reborn” premieres Thursday, Sept. 24th, at 8/7c on NBC.
