Today, Entertainment Weekly spoke with Heroes showrunner Tim Kring about the upcoming series. He goes onto reveal the new mini-series will deal with a slew of new characters in the Heroes universe. This comes off many original cast members stating they won't be returning for the new show:
“The vast, vast majority are brand new characters, brand new ideas, [Bringing back previous characters is] really only to give a sense of continuity and a tether to the original world. If it was all completely brand new, we’d miss certain elements that need to be there to give you that bridge to cross to something new. I approached Coleman because he was a character who had a spine through the series that allowed you to meet new characters. So he’s a character I wanted to make sure had a little part at the beginning of this thing.”I guess Noah Bennett (Jack Coleman) really is like the Agent Coulson of the Heroes universe after-all!
