CULVER CITY, CA (June 16, 2017) – Crackle,
Sony Pictures Television Networks’ free, ad-supported streaming
network, announced that the critically acclaimed Universal Television
sci-fi drama “Heroes” and the event series “Heroes Reborn” are headlining the platform’s Fandom lineup on Thursday, July 13.
NBCUniversal’s Television and New Media Distribution Group and Crackle
came to an agreement to make seasons one through four of the
Emmy®-winning “Heroes” series (78 episodes), as well as all 13 episodes
of “Heroes Reborn,” available on the streaming network. These two series
combined provide for over 65 hours of binge-watching pleasure.
From
Creator/Executive Producer Tim Kring and bolstered by an impressive
ensemble cast that includes Milo Ventimiglia (“This Is Us”) and Hayden
Panettiere (“Nashville”), “Heroes” uses an innovative comic book-style
format, divided into “volumes,” to tell the thrilling story of a group
of ordinary people whose lives are changed forever when a solar eclipse
unlocks extraordinary abilities inside each of them. As their stories
intertwine, they must work together to unlock the secrets of their
powers while battling the sinister forces that seek to use them for
their own nefarious purposes. “Heroes” also stars Zachary Quinto, Ali
Larter, Adrian Pasdar, Masi Oka, Greg Grunberg, Jack Coleman and Sendhil
Ramamurthy, with appearances by Kristen Bell, George Takei, Robert
Knepper, Madeline Zima and Malcolm McDowell, among others.
“Heroes
Reborn” is a special 13-episode event series starring Zachary Levi as
the vengeful hero-hunter Luke Collins, with Coleman reprising his role
as Noah Bennet. Taking place several years after the flagship series,
“Heroes Reborn” finds a new generation of “evos” in a fight for their
lives after being pegged as the perpetrators of a devastating terrorist
attack in Odessa, Texas. Joining forces with past heroes (including
Grunberg and Oka) they must race against the clock to unmask the real
culprits and save the world from a cataclysmic reversal. The event
series was also created and executive produced by Kring.
“Heroes”
and “Heroes Reborn” joins Crackle’s library of full-length TV episodes
featuring beloved series such as “The Shield,” “Seinfeld” and “Happy
Endings” as well as their celebrated roster of original content that
includes the thriller “Chosen,” starring and executive produced by
“Heroes” star Milo Ventimiglia, and the Emmy®-nominated hit “Comedians
In Cars Getting Coffee,” starring and created by comedy icon Jerry
Seinfeld; and an extensive on-demand movie selection that includes
Crackle’s original feature films JOE DIRT 2: BEAUTIFUL LOSER and DEAD
RISING: END GAME, as well as ALIEN VS. PREDATOR; DEEP BLUE SEA; AMERICAN
WEDDING; BAD BOYS II; and many more.
