Season 4 is a go

NBC plans to bring back “Heroes†for another season, said entertainment president Angela Bromstad.

 

The action-drama’s ratings decline has caused some media reports to speculate as to whether the show will return next fall. As part of Hollywood Reporter’s annual Q&As with the five broadcast network chiefs, Bromstad was asked if “Heroes†could be considered “on the bubble†for a renewal.

 

“No,†she said, and added that the network plans to order 18-20 episodes of the show for next season.

 

That's fewer hours than "Heroes" first (23) or current third season (25), with season two having been cut short due to the writers strike.

 

For all its headline-making audience erosion, “Heroes†is still tied with NBC's “The Office†as the network’s top-rated series among adults 18-49 this season.

Not that bothered about it being a shorter season, we have more to watch after this one

Aye, 18 episodes is better than 11, and certainly better than none!

And if the ratings for season 4 go up they could always add extra epiosdes on.

In the case of a lot of shows (Lost being one of them) a shorter season can sometimes mean a better quality Season.
