NBC has released a new trailer for the event series Heroes Reborn starring Jack Coleman, Zachary Levi, Judith Shekoni, and Henry Zebrowski. The cast of the new Heroes series also includes Robbie Kay, Danika Yarosh, Gatlin Green, Kiki Sukezane, Ryan Guzman, Rya Kihlstedt, Masi Oka, Greg Grunberg, Sendhil Ramamurthy, and Jimmy Jean-Louis, with Heroes‘ creator/executive producer back in the same capacity.

Heroes Reborn will premiere on September 24, 2015 at 8pm ET/PT. The event series consists of 13 episodes and, as with the original Heroes, follows regular people who find out they have extraordinary abilities.

NBC also unveiled the official synopsis of the series:

A year ago, a terrorist attack in Odessa, Texas, left the city decimated. Blamed for the tragic event, those with extraordinary abilities are in hiding or on the run from those with nefarious motives.

Two such vigilantes include Luke (Levi) and Joanne (Shekoni), who are seeking to avenge a tragic loss.

Noah Bennet, aka H.R.G. (Coleman), has gone off the grid, but conspiracy theorist Quentin Frady (Zebrowski) finds him and opens his eyes to the truth behind the Odessa tragedy.

While in hiding, some are discovering their newfound skills. Awkward teen Tommy (Kay) just wants to be normal and win the girl of his dreams, Emily (Green), but normalcy is virtually impossible after learning of a new ability that terrifies him. Coming from a very sheltered upbringing, a bold and ethereal teenager, Malina (Yarosh), has been told she is destined for greatness. In Tokyo, a quiet and unique young woman, Miko (Sukezane), is trying to track down her missing father while hiding an extraordinary secret that will make her a force to be reckoned with. Elsewhere, a different type of hero is emerging through former soldier Carlos (Guzman).

Meanwhile, Erica (Kihlstedt), the head of the highly successful tech conglomerate Renautas, has an agenda of her own.

For better or for worse, some are fated to cross paths with assorted heroes of the past, including Hiro Nakamura (Oka), Matt Parkman (Grunberg), Mohinder Suresh (Ramamurthy) and the Haitian (Jean-Louis), among others. Yet, together, their ultimate destiny is nothing less than saving the world and mankind.
