After an amazing first season…a watchable second seasons…and one of the most painful hiatuses of any series lost to the long running 2007 Writers Strike…

HEROES IS FINALLY SET TO RETURN!

NBC has finally announced the premiere date for season 3 of Heroes, set to hit airwaves on September 15th, 2008.

They’re intending to give the fans more Heroes then they can handle, with a 1 hour recap show to kick off the evening at 8pm, followed by a 2 hour premiere at 9pm. That’s 3 hours of Heroes goodness.

So set the date, and get ready, only 164 days to go!
