The cast of NBC's Heroes Reborn is growing and has added a familiar name.
Entertainment Weekly reported that Greg Grunberg will be on board for Heroes Reborn. Grunberg played Matt Parkman in the original Heroes. He played a telepathic detective who slowly discovered his powers.
Grunberg will be reunited with some of his former cast mates including, Masi Oka who played Hiro Nakamura and Jack Coleman as Noah Bennet. The show will be adding new talent as well including, Zachary Levi who is best known for his work on Chuck.
In previous interviews Grunberg had explained that he was open to returning ot the show and he was excited as a fan to see what would happen. "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," said Grunberg.
IGN added that Heroes Reborn will be debuting in the fall on Thursday nights.
The original Heroes featured, Hayden Panettiere, Milo Ventimiglia, Ali Larter, Zachary Quinto and Adrian Pasdar.
