It most likely will not be back this season, but “Heroes” has been renewed by NBC.

Entertainment Weekly reports that the Peacock network plans to relaunch the sci-fi series in the fall, along with freshman dramas “Life” and “Chuck.”

The three shows were put into question when the writers went on strike, and due to “Heroes” use of narrative storytelling, many critics assumed it would not come back this season for four or five extra episodes.

Most other series will be back before the end of this year’s television season in May. ABC has already announced “Lost” will feature five additional episodes on top of the eight already in the can for a season total of 13.

Expect most other series to return in mid-April.
