Heroes 360/Evoluzione di Heroes

NBC annunciò la Heroes 360 Experience nel gennaio del 2007, poco prima della messa in onda dell'episodio intitolato Godsend subito dopo la prima interruzione. Heroes 360 è un'esperienza multimediale interattiva che si sviluppa sia attraverso internet sia come un alternate reality game.

With the launch of Heroes 360, a great deal of new content became available on NBC.com, including online viewing of episodes with video commentary, "two-screen" Heroes Interactive content during broadcasts, an interactive version of Chandra Suresh's map, and more.

The alternate reality game has players working closely with Hana Gitelman to unlock the secrets of The Company by exploring websites associated with many of the show's characters and institutions, including primatechpaper.com, corinthianlasvegas.com, and activatingevolution.org. Guided by text messages and emails from Hana and posts on her website, players solve puzzles and unlock clues to reveal exclusive content related to the show.

In September 2007 NBC renamed Heroes 360 to Heroes Evolutions.

Graphic Novels

In addition to the episodes each week, NBC releases online graphic novels the following Tuesday. They are usually first-person, and focus on a specific incident in a character's life. Issues 1-34 will be published by DC Comics as a Graphic Novel Collection.

Trivia

Because the BBC has no advertisements, Heroes is shown without breaks and is therefore only about 45 minutes long.
BBC Two is a terrestrial channel and is therefore accessible by anyone, whereas the Sci Fi Channel is only available on satellite or cable subscriptions, hence the difference in viewing figures.
