US television network, NBC has cancelled Heroes

The Hollywood Reporter has today....reported that the television network, NBC will be killing off Heroes, the television show that has also been showing in New Zealand.

The Reporter said:

The network seriously mulled bringing back "Heroes" for a shortened final season to wrap up the serialized show, possibly as a two- or four-hour movie.

In the end, given the fairly high cost of the drama, the show's consistently declining ratings and the number of new hour-long shows coming to NBC next season, the network decided the series wasn't worth an additional episode order.

The show has long had a rocky relationship with its fans. Out of the gate, "Heroes" was a big hit for the network -- an ethnically diverse big-concept ensemble that performed well overseas. It was NBC's "Lost."

It has not yet been announced how this will affect viewers in New Zealand.
