Heroes, Tim Kring Featured in New York Times
Matt Richenthal at .In a recent New York Times article, creator Tim Kring says fans will see a rebooted, improved series.
“A little absence can really be a benefit,” Kring said, to the newspaper, citing other “eventlike shows” like The Sopranos that have rebounded from long gaps between seasons. In the intervening months, he said, viewers “have seen a lot of stuff on TV that wasn’t of the quality of Heroes. I think they’ll be raring to go.”
Regarding the criticism the show was faced with last season, Kring added:
“The double-edged sword of our fan base is they have a passion for the show. And that passion cuts both ways. It cuts towards, ‘You’re the greatest thing ever’ and towards ‘You’ve disappointed me.’”
In closing, Kring said season three will start fresh.
“We are not dragging a lot of story behind us,” he said. “It you started cold, I think you could pick up the thread. That is the goal from here on out."
