Despite a strong first season, Tim Kring's Heroes suffered from a steady fall in popularity with each of the seasons that followed. Season one garnered an impressive audience of 14.3 million, but by the end of season three that number dropped to just 3.9 million.

NBC's decision to pull the plug on the series therefore came as little surprise, particularly considering the comparatively high budget required to make each episode.

But, according to an interview in Entertainment Weekly, actor Greg Grunberg, who played the mind reading ex-cop Matt Parkman, the "majority" of the Heroes cast has expressed an interest in creating a final two-hour TV movie.

Grunberg suggested that creator Tim Kring had "a great story in mind," and that "he was thinking in terms of six or 13 [episodes], now it would have to be two hours or four hours. But I know the network wants to. A lot of people want that wrap-up."

"So let's wrap it up and see where these characters go, and not kill them all off. Let's have some sort of a happy ending. I mean, that would be nice, wouldn't it?"
