Heroes: Origins is a six-episode mini-series that was originally scheduled to air during the second season of Heroes during its hiatus between Volumes Two and Three. However, it has now been canceled due to a strike by the Writers Guild of America.
Each episode was to introduce a new character — usually an origin story. Though each episode would have been a standalone story, the characters and other aspects of the world of Heroes may make appearances in Origins. Tim Kring said that if viewers expressed interest in a particular Origins story, that character may be considered to be included in Heroes proper. (NBC going supernatural this fall). At Comic-Con 2007 it was announced that Kevin Smith would write and direct the first episode of Heroes: Origins. Other writers include Eli Roth (who will also direct), John August, Michael Dougherty, and Jeph Loeb. As of October 31, 2007, NBC has indefinitely shelved Heroes: Origins, reportedly due to the looming writer's strike. [1] NBC later confirmed that Origins will not be airing during the 2008-2009 schedule because they "decided it was better to focus on keeping the Heroes mothership as strong as possible." [2]
