'Heroes' set for fourth season

It looks like 'Heroes' will be back for a fourth season.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, US network NBC will commit to another series of the show, which stars Hayden Panettiere, despite falling ratings.

The network’s entertainment president Angela Bromstad said they planned to order 18-20 episodes of the show for next season, adding she was impressed by how well the series had performed internationally.

“Every single place you go has heard about Heroes – whether you’re in China or Japan or Russia,” she said. “And to me, that is global content.”
