Digital Spy reported yesterday that:

Heroes creator and executive producer Tim Kring has signed a new deal with NBC Universal Television Studio.

The two-year deal covers Kring’s involvement as executive producer on Heroes and the Heroes: Origins spinoff. It is also understood that Kring will develop new projects during the term of the pact.

That is really good news for Heroes fans. We know it’s being kept around a while, but this deal shows that NBC is probably committed to at least another two years of the show.

Cool…
