NBC Cancels Heroes

Currently in the middle of it’s fourth season, NBC’s once-popular sci-fi drama Heroes has been axed by the network.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the sharp declines in the show’s ratings combined with NBC’s decision to pick up three new hour-long shows, including J.J. Abrams’ Undercovers, led to the show’s termination.

The network also announced the cancellation of it’s long-running police drama Law & Order, as well as two of it’s new medical dramas Trauma and Mercy, last week.
