The BBC is to air the third season of Heroes this autumn.
Jana Bennett, director of BBC Vision, has said the traditional several-month delay in the show making it to UK screens will be slashed for the next run.
"People want to participate globally - and, in part, that's why this autumn, when NBC launches Heroes series three in the States, it will be aired simultaneously by the BBC in the UK," said Bennett, speaking about changes in TV and media at the Banff Television Festival.
Broadcasters are increasingly looking to narrow delays in international distribution. Bennett said: "Imagine now the world communities and conversations that would congregate around programmes like Planet Earth, Wild China or Amazon - if they were available to that global audience at the same time."
Heroes season three will begin on NBC with a two-hour launch show on September 22. The second season - which aired in the US in the autumn last year - still has several weeks to run on BBC Two.

 The Season 2 finale "Powerless' was finally shown on BBC2 and what a cliffhanger. Nikki? Nathan? Sylar? It's all crazy and I sure can't wait till Season 3 in September. Not long to go.

Taken from the Tenth Wonder Podcast website (www.heroespodcast.com) Heroes: Origins, the much anticipated spinoff/side-project said to be featuring a new hero each week and calling on the powers of some of Hollywood’s most creative minds has been officially dealt the final blow. Ben Silverman, co-chairman of NBC, said that the Origins project is now officially scrapped and noted that NBC felt like the project would be too taxing on the Heroes creative team and that it would be better for the main show not to spread themselves too thin. The WGA strike first docked the project in November, but now it seems like it wont enough support to get off of the ground again. It’s a shame to see such a great idea go to waste, but we have high hopes that more interesting collaboration projects in the same spirit as “Origins” will show up again in the future. |
