First Batch of Season 2 Spoilers: New Character Descriptions

The website TVSquad got their hands on a listing of new Heroes characters that will be appearing in the first two episodes of Season 2. They seem to know what they’re talking about, and I’m inclined to believe they are reporting accurately and from viable sources. And if not — hey, just take it as another POSSIBLE SPOILER and move on. Season 2 is still a long way off, so all this stuff can change in a flash, and indeed, most will probably be “tweaked” before the episodes are put into production. That having been said, there is nothing here that I would call BIG SPOILERS, just a lot of character descriptions, so the “spoiler” tag actually doesn’t really fit. In any case, continue to read about who will be appearing in Season 2 of Heroes…

* The yet-to-be-titled Season 2 premiere will introduce new series regular Maya, a Hispanic woman in her mid 20s. Could she be linked with Alejandro who’ll recur next season?

* The episode will also introduce Kane, a recurring character that may become a possible regular. This man in his late 20s is referred, in the info we were given, as an ageless American with an European feel. He is said to be a charming womanizer who as a soul that seems to be older than he appears to be.

* A new Japanese recurring female character will be named Princess Keriyama.

* A few high school characters living in California will be added to the recurring cast. They are: Gay cheerleader April; charming 18-year-old West, who doesn’t fit in much; May, a mean cheerleader high schooler.

* Other recurring characters making their first appearances in the premiere are: Georgie and Blackie, two Irish thieves, who are under orders of 45ish ringleader Ricky; friendly 40-year-old mild-mannered Bob who is said to be the “unassuming face of a very powerful organization”; NYPD detective Kincaid.

* The second episode will introduce new regular Monica. She is a beautiful African-American in her late 20s. She is very kind to people and always thinks of them before taking care of herself.

Some of this would seem to coincide what was already mentioned here about new characters being added to Season 2. The Irish gangster, for example, and a possible boyfriend for Claire.

(So does this mean Claire will be going to high school in California in Season 2? It would make sense, since she’s the only high school age character in the show.)

Also, Tim Kring has often said that Hiro would be getting a new girlfriend in Season 2 — and how can you top a Princess?

So what do you think?
