'Heroes Reborn' Trailer: Hiro, HRG, And More Return For NBC's Superhero Sequel

Was the world really clamoring for more Heroes? Probably not, but superhero shows are the hot thing right now, and NBC wasn't about to let a perfectly good old property go to waste. In any case, Heroes Reborn is happening whether you like it or not, so let's just hope it turns out better than the original Heroes did.

The first real Heroes Reborn trailer straddles the line between the fresh and the familiar. Zachary Levi, Ryan Guzman, and Kiki Sukezane are among the new characters, while Jack Coleman's HRG and Masi Oka's Hiro are some of those returning. Watch the Heroes Reborn trailer after the jump. 

NBC unfurled the Heroes Reborn trailer on YouTube.

Along with the trailer, a few more details about the storyline have been revealed. Heroes Reborn picks up about a year after a terrorist attack in Texas. The event was blamed on superpowered people, so many of them have since gone into hiding.

Based on all the "Where are the heroes?" graffiti littering this world, though, it would appear that the world hasn't completely forgotten about them. And Guzman makes a rousing speech ("We all have the potential to be heroes") that suggests a new generation of world-savers could step up to the plate.

Heroes Reborn is billed as a 13-episode event series. The fun begins September 24 on NBC.

From creator/executive producer Tim Kring, who imagined NBC's original critically-acclaimed 2006 "Heroes" series, comes "Heroes Reborn," an epic 13-episode event series that chronicles the lives of ordinary people who discover they possess extraordinary abilities.

A year ago, a terrorist attack in Odessa, Texas, left the city decimated. Blamed for the tragic event, those with extraordinary abilities are in hiding or on the run from those with nefarious motives.

Two such vigilantes include Luke (Zachary Levi, "Chuck") and Joanne (Judith Shekoni, "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2"), who are seeking to avenge a tragic loss.

Noah Bennet, aka H.R.G. (Jack Coleman, "Heroes"), has gone off the grid but conspiracy theorist Quentin Frady (Henry Zebrowski, "A to Z") finds him and opens his eyes to the truth behind the Odessa tragedy.

While in hiding, some are discovering their newfound skills. Awkward teen Tommy (Robbie Kay, "Once Upon a Time") just wants to be normal and win the girl of his dreams, Emily (Gatlin Green, "Criminal Minds"), but normalcy is virtually impossible after learning of a new ability that terrifies him. Coming from a very sheltered upbringing, a bold and ethereal teenager, Malina (Danika Yarosh, "Shameless"), has been told she is destined for greatness. In Tokyo, a quiet and unique young woman, Miko (Kiki Sukezane, "Death Yankee 3"), is trying to track down her missing father while hiding an extraordinary secret that will make her a force to be reckoned with. Elsewhere, a different type of hero is emerging through former soldier Carlos (Ryan Guzman, "The Boy Next Door").

Meanwhile, Erica (Rya Kihlstedt, "Masters of Sex"), the head of the highly successful tech conglomerate Renautas, has an agenda of her own.

For better or for worse, some are fated to cross paths with assorted heroes of the past, including Hiro Nakamura (Masi Oka), Matt Parkman (Greg Grunberg), Mohinder Suresh (Sendhil Ramamurthy) and the Haitian (Jimmy Jean-Louis), among others. Yet, together, their ultimate destiny is nothing less than saving the world and mankind.
