Heroes Season 3 Starts 9/15/08!

Finally, a confirmed date has been given for Heroes Season 3. The third season of NBC Heroes will be called "Villains" and returns in about 5 months time, on September 15, 2008. It will start at 8pm with a show featuring clips (probably to refresh viewers' memories). A 2 hour premiere episode will follow at its regular 9PM EST time slot.

Scifi.com had the following report:

NBC's returning genre shows--Heroes, Chuck and Medium--will each air a full complement of original episodes next season, in contrast to this year's strike-truncated season, with Heroes and Chuck set to air without repeats through December.

The announcements came at the network's presentation to advertisers in New York on April 2.

"We not only have the biggest star of TV, we have movie stars on NBC," Ben Silverman, co-chairman of NBC Entertainment and Universal Media Studios, said during the presentation. "The talent on NBC are the breakout talent and the cultural, relevant, leading icons of all of television. It's a hallmark of what we do, and as you'll see, ... all of your favorites are coming back."

Heroes will return to the schedule on Sept. 15 with an hourlong clip show premiering at 8 p.m. ET/PT and a two-hour season premiere airing at 9 p.m., its regular timeslot.
