Heroes Season 3 Premiere Date: Sept. 22, 2008

NBC has finally announced its fall premiere dates for its returning and new shows. Of most interest to us is, of course, Heroes, which NBC has scheduled for a return to the airwaves on September 22, 2008, exactly one week later than the original September 15, 2008 date we reported on much earlier this year. According to NBC’s schedule, Heroes Season 3 will premiere with an hour-long “compilation” episode, the purpose of which is to get old and new viewers caught up on what’s happened on the show so far, followed by a 2-hour block of all-new Heroes.

For those interested in NBC’s other shows, here’s their fall 2008 premiere dates via the Hollywood Reporter:
