Today NBC announced it’s official Fall schedule and confirmed that Heroes will return with a 3-hour event on September 22nd at 8PM.

If you recall, it was reported here that Heroes would be premiering with its three-hour premiere event on September 15. My guess is that this change was caused by the fact that this premiere date will be more along the lines of everything else that is premiering on NBC and all the other networks.

Still very exciting news, though. Let the countdown begin . . .
