NBC is a network that knows how to keep its hit shows in the spotlight even during a lengthy hiatus. Heroes won't return with its third season until September 22, but fans can look forward to hints being unveiled at San Diego Comic-Con on July 26, which BuddyTV will be covering. If you can't make it to San Diego, you can get your Heroes fix through a series of original webisodes that will kick off at NBC.com on July 14. The three-part series, entitled "Going Postal," introduces a new character into the Heroes universe. Read on to get a sneak peek at the webisodes.

At last year's San Diego Comic-Con it was nearly impossible to get into the Heroes panel, which featured creator Tim Kring and many of the show's stars. People waited in line hours to see a sneak peek at season 2, only to be turned away at the door when the room reached full capacity. After a mediocre second season that resulted in a ratings drop, it's likely that the Heroes gathering at this year's Comic-Con will at least be a little easier to get into. For the 2008 panel, Kring is hoping to ignite fan fervor by offering a glimpse at the third season premiere. In fact, fans lucky enough to make it to San Diego might to get to see the first episode of the "Villains" chapter in its entirety.

With Heroes' season 3 premiere only three months away, its cast and crew have been hyping the new season up as much as they can. With a second season that many viewers found lacking, which wasn't helped by having to be cut short due to the writers strike, many viewers are still apprehensive that the show won't be able to bounce back even with the large break between seasons 2 and 3.
Of course everyone involved with Heroes will be the first to admit their failings and to tell us that the upcoming season will be the bee's knees, especially the series' creator, Tim Kring. Sci Fi Wire caught up with Tim Kring at the Saturn Awards earlier this week where the Heroes producer accepted the award for best TV DVD and discussed what the focus will be in season 3, as well as the fate of fan favorite Sylar (Zachary Quinto).

Masi Oka used to be a bit player. Though he got his acting start in small guest roles on dozens of TV series, the former digital artist for Industrial Light and Magic only teleported into the limelight once he was cast as Hiro Nakamura on the hit series Heroes. The role of the ever happy Japanese superhero made him a household name, and it wasn't long before Masi Oka was on call for bigger and better projects.
The Heroes star's first major big screen role will have him appearing in theaters around the world in the comedy Get Smart. Though the movie is so far receiving relatively mixed reviews, it's a big step in the career of the unassuming 33-year-old who only a few years ago was best known to TV audiences as playing an intern in five episodes of Scrubs.

In most cases, intriguing hints about upcoming television plotlines come to us courtesy of the actors. Writers for the biggest hits on the tube are usually evasive and secretive about upcoming events, while the actors have a tendency to be loose-lipped and possibly spill more than they should. Such was the case when Heroes actor Adrian Pasdar recently made an appearance at MegaCon in Orlando, Florida. We haven't heard much from series creator Tim Kring regarding season 3, but Pasdar dropped a bombshell about what the next year holds for his character.

Former Nip/Tuck actress Jessalyn Gilsig is set to reprise her role as Claire Bennet's biological mother, Meredith Gordon, on the upcoming season of Heroes. After missing entirely from the second season of the NBC science fictional drama, the Canadian actress returns for not one but five episodes, according to TV Guide.
Gilsig first appeared on Heroes as part of the episode “The Fix,” in which she exhibits pyrokinetic abilities. In a back story, it was revealed that Meredith and her 18-month-old baby were reported to have died in a fire. Mr. Bennet (Jack Coleman) came to retrieve baby Claire (Hayden Panettiere) and adopted her later, while Meredith, who started the fire in the first place, moved to Mexico for some time before relocating to Kermit, Texas.
