According to new reports, the recently rebooted Heroes series (retitled Heroes Reborn) is already lined up to receive an online prequel miniseries. Entitled Heroes Reborn: Digital Series, we're in for a lot of new material from this highly entertaining universe!

"It's exciting to bring original content to the forefront on all of our digital platforms, " said Executive Vice President, Digital Media, NBC Entertainment Robert Hayes. "We are lucky to once again be in business with some of the top producers in Hollywood making new content to further engage fans."

Entertainment Weekly reports:

Heroes Reborn: Digital Series, an online prequel in conjunction with the previously announced Heroes miniseries from executive producer Tim Kring, will be among the first series to debut on NBC.com as part of the network's new original online video initiative announced Tuesday. Also launching is an interactive series about the super fans who wait in the Saturday Night Live standby line, Saturday Night Line. The new digital content will be promoted across the company's television networks and will air first on digital platforms including channel websites, Hulu, and video-on-demand. 

We previously reported on the announcement of Heroes Reborn.

"The enormous impact 'Heroes' had on the television landscape when it first launched in 2006 was eye-opening," NBC Entertainment President Jennifer Salke said earlier this year. "Shows with that kind of resonance don't come around often and we thought it was time for another installment. We're thrilled that visionary creator Tim Kring was as excited about jumping back into this show as we were and we look forward to all the new textures and layers Tim plans to add to his original concept. Until we get closer to air in 2015, the show will be appropriately shrouded in secrecy, but we won't rule out the possibility of some of the show's original cast members popping back in."
