Hard decisions are coming down from networks around this time of year, and while it may have saved certain shows on the bubble, like V and Chuck, others have gotten the ax. The long running Law & Order being canceled was the most high profile decision made at NBC, but also going on the chopping block is Heroes.
NBC considered bringing Heroes back for a short final season or perhaps a two- or four-hour movie to wrap up the ongoing storylines. However, the cost of the drama series along with its withering ratings (along with the amount of drama premieres the network has signed) led NBC to decide against producing any more episodes.
