Breaking News! “Origins”/Heroes spin-off cancelled!
Breaking News!!!
A brewing writers’ strike has NBC cancelling the Heroes: Origins, the much-publicized Heroes spin-off!
TV Guide has the scoop -
The network declined comment, but sources said the possible strike by the Writers Guild of America — which could happen after the guild’s contract expires midnight Thursday — played a role in the decision.
“Looking at everything in context of the strike, we’re evaluating all of our production commitments,” said one insider. “Scripts haven’t been written yet.”
If the labor situation changes quickly, the network could revisit the decision to scrap the show.
We’ll all be on our toes waiting to see this resolved well, for the sake of us Heroes’ fans.
