Who would have thunk… that certain actors from last season are returning next season? At least they are still gonna get a paycheck and are still shilling the series. Flashbacks? Probably. Still… :dubious: Resurrections? Tim Kring promised us that none will happen-the dead stay dead. So the painter is dead, dead. The painter girl, dead, dead, etc The big boss is dead, dead. But the big creep crept into the sewer. Probably alive, definitely alive. Walks through walls? Possibly. Reads minds? probably. Have I missed anyone? Oh yeah! 😛 The Brothers P. Will both survive? One of them, surely-he’s invulnerable. The other kept joking, “but I can only fly.” :dubious: :smack: Well maybe NOT!!! ---

I won’t look at it until I get more background. Is this a spoiler from the season past or for somehting upcoming? Is it speculation or actual fact? ---

Milo Ventimiglia and Adrian Pasdar have both confirmed that they’re reporting back to work for the second season. Don’t know about the other ones. Also: why the big spoiler box in a thread labeled “spoilers”? Particularly since what’s _in_ the spoiler box is perfectly visible on the mouseover… ---

I read the spoiler but it looks to me like you are just speculating about who will or will not come back? Do you really have any additional information about who survives and who doesn’t, other than what we saw in the final episode(s)? On the other hand, **Lightray** ’s post is a true spoiler about characters who will be returning next season. ---

General comment from Moderator: there’s no need to put spoiler tags around pure speculation. Your guess is as good as anyone’s. ---

It’s possible that part of the new season will be a prequel. ---

I thought there was a whole (seperate) 6-parter prequel series planned - _Heroes:Origins_ or somesuch. We’re only on episode 3 here, so not getting spoiled has been pretty futile (when e.g. CNN runs big spoiler stories for the season finale), but I appreciate the gesture. ---

Reports on what _Heroes: Origins_ will be have been kind of confusing. (I don’t think this stuff counts as “spoilers”). It’s a six-part between-seasons series. Each episode will (apparently) be a stand-alone, featuring a new “hero” that we haven’t seen before. At the end of the series, viewers will have a chance to vote on their favorite, who will make it into the regular series. (here comes Sanjaya!) There _are_ spoilers out there about what new characters are showing up, but it’s not clear whether they’re for _Heroes: Origins_ or for _Heroes_. For example, There’s a trio of southern Californian high schoolers, including a lesbian cheerleader with new powers. There’s also a “Europeanish” young American who is hinted at being older than he looks. They’ve been relatively free with describing what’s coming up next season, trying to keep interest up I guess. A google or check at tv-oriented sites ought to give anyone the full scoop (I generally slog my way through [televisionwithoutpity.com](http://televisionwithoutpity.com), but it’s not for the faint-of-heart).
