Tim Kring, creator of NBC's hit series Heroes, told SCI FI Wire that the upcoming second season will constitute a new volume in the multi-volume series, with new characters and an entirely new storyline. "If you remember, the opening of the pilot pronounced the episode as the beginning of Volume One," Kring said in an interview. "Volume One comes to a conclusion at the end of episode 23, and Volume Two starts with the opening of season two. And Volume Two is a different story." Kring added: "We could have new people and new storylines and new ideas and new threats and new bad guys and new heroes. So I would prepare the audience for that idea, that it's not just a continuing serialized storyline about only these people. It's a little more the 24 model than the Lost model." "Heroes needs to evolve, and if we are positing an idea that this is happening all over the world to many, many people, then we get to see some of those people and see how their story fits in." Kring also confirmed that some of the current heroes just might not survive this season, but added: "Many of your favorites will live to fight again."

I am so not loving that. To me it sounds a lot like the second season of Lost where they kept a lot of the same characters and then added a lot more that we didn't care about and basically ruined the show. I really hope Kevin Reilly (Seriously why was he re-upped today?) stops them from doing this. We so need a Hero that has the power to stop them from doing this to season two.
