Greg Grunberg Returns for NBC's HEROES REBORN

Greg Grunberg will reprise his role as Matt Parkman for a guest-starring arc of episodes on NBC's new event series "Heroes Reborn," which will premiere in Fall 2015.

Grunberg joins fellow cast members Masi Oka (Hiro Nakamura), Jack Coleman (Noah Bennett), as well as new cast member Zachary Levi.

"Well, you know, it'd be great to use that cop character as an investigative tool to find new people with power," Grunberg told Entertainment Weekly last year. "I'm excited as a fan, to see what happens. If I can be a part of this, I would jump at the chance...None of us have been notified. We have no idea what's going on. They hinted that they might use some of the old characters to move story and plot. I think the fans or whoever was watching the show before, which was the world, really wants closure. I don't know how they would do this without using some of the main characters. I hope that they include me."

From creator/executive producer Tim Kring, who imagined the original critically-acclaimed 2006 "Heroes" series, comes "Heroes Reborn," an epic 13-episode event series that chronicles the lives of ordinary people who discover they possess extraordinary abilities. The cast includes Jack Coleman ("Heroes"), Zachary Levi (NBC's "Chuck"), Ryan Guzman ("The Boy Next Door"), Robbie Kay ("Once Upon a Time"), Danika Yarosh ("Shameless"), Judith Shekoni ("The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2"), Kiki Sukezane ("Death Yankee 3"), Henry Zebrowski (NBC's "A to Z") and Gatlin Green ("Criminal Minds").

Produced by Imperative Entertainment, in association with Universal Television, "Heroes Reborn" will air in fall 2015 on NBC. NBC's digital platforms, as well as Hulu and video-on-demand, will debut an online prequel to the series prior to the show's premiere. Joining Kring are executive producers James Middleton and Peter Elkoff.
