NBC Announces ‘Heroes’ Season 4 Air Date
NBC has announced that the fourth season of Heroes will begin airing in the US with a two-hour premiere on Monday, Sept. 21 from 8-10pm.
The new season is titled Volume 5 ‘Redemption’ and it seems this title relates largely to a story arc designed to redeem Adrian Pasdar’s character, Nathan Petrelli.
Pasdar, who won a ‘Best Supporting Actor’ Saturn Award on Wednesday for his role as Nathan said, “I think there’s going to be a good redemptive nature to his behavior this year. Somehow we’re going to try to get out from underneath the dark cloud that surrounded the first couple years of his perception of what his power might be, his ability. It’s nice to think it might end a little lighter. It might end with a martyrdom kind of behavior thing in order to sacrifice [himself] to serve the world.”
If you’re confused about how a dead man can be redeemed as a result of the actions of the worlds most notorious shape-shifting serial killer, there’s more confusion to come. Pasdar had this to add whilst commenting on his new role playing a Sylar morphed version of Nathan Petrelli: “That’s the irony, I don’t feel like I’m playing Sylar. I feel like I’m playing a guy who’s playing Nathan. You see what I’m saying? I’m not trying to act like Sylar. Sylar’s trying to act like Nathan.”
Cristine Rose (Angela Petrelli) reinforces that the new season is going to be hard to figure out with all the shape shifting going on.
“I just read episode 403 yesterday,” Rose said. “What happens then, my mind has been so baffled, but it’s a lot of fun. Yet another huge change comes for me in episode 403.”
