i was a huge fan of the original show so to see all the characters coming back makes Heroes Reborn very exciting for me. This is an advantage it has over other shows, it has a fresh established fan base that it doesnt have to work extra hard  to win over.  They have also brought in stars to play new characters to draw in people that didnt watch the original series.  i think the key to its' success will be how well it can keep its old fans happy while not losing a new audience.
