Will Heroes be renewed for a fifth season?

NBC has already begun to make unofficial noise about which ones of their shows will be coming back and which will go bye-bye, but so far, still no word on the fate of Heroes. The Hollywood Reporter caught up with Angela Bromstad, NBC's President of Primetime Entertainment and asked her just about that. Unfortunately Bromstad either doesn't yet know what her network is going to do with the show, or if she knows, she's not telling.

The question on everyone's mind post-"Brave New World" is an obvious one: "Will Heroes be renewed for a fifth season?" That's a question on a lot of people's minds. But according to THR, if the show does end up being renewed, it could very well be for a limited number of episodes to close out the show for good.

There have been a lot of rumors about Heroes coming back or not, and a lot of blogs are making lists about reasons pro and against, but honestly, at the end of the day, it's up to NBC to decide if the show is worth bringing back, financially speaking. Networks are in the business of making money, and if the show can still make them money, they'll bring it back regardless of criticisms leveled at the show by fans and loudmouth critics.

The expensive NBC series has always performed well overseas, but the network needs "Heroes" to pull decent numbers in its own backyard too. This season, "Heroes" continued its decline and is now at a level — around a 2.0 adults 18-49 rating — that would warrant cancellation under most circumstances. The deciding factor here is NBC's internal balance sheet for the production. Don't be surprised if NBC announces a 12-hour "final chapter" for next fall.

The plot of Heroes is designed to be similar to the stories of comic books with small story arcs built into the series' larger story arc plot. Each season of Heroes is designed to involve ordinary people who discover extraordinary super powers, and how these abilities take effect in the character's daily lives.
