Tim Kring, the man behind Heroes has inked a new two-year deal with NBC. The new deal includes Kring's involvement as executive producer on Heroes as well as the new spin-off Heroes: Origins and new projects that he will help to develop.
Quote:
Kring told The Hollywood Reporter that he has gone "from showrunner who oversees writing and production on a show to a person managing a brand and everything involved in that," adding that he "relies heavily" on his team to manage the Heroes entity.
Katherine Pope, who only days ago was named president of NBCU Television Studio, is a long-time friend of Kring.
"He is a brilliant writer, and he also runs one of the tightest ships in town," Pope told the Reporter, explaining: "The reason this deal is so important to us is because of Tim's absolutely extraordinary ability to write all types of characters with such authenticity. He can find the humanity in the characters and everything he writes."
