'Heroes Reborn' Brings Back Greg Grunberg's Matt Parkman
TV

Grunberg will reprise his role as the telepathic detective in guest arc for the upcoming reboot.

AceShowbiz - Another original cast member of "Heroes" is set to return for "Heroes Reborn". Greg Grunberg is tapped for a guest arc and will reprise his role as telepathic detective Matt Parkman on the NBC revival series, Entertainment Weekly reports.

While NBC has not released an official statement regarding the latest casting news, the actor previously hinted at his return via a Twitter post. "I miss playing this guy," he wrote on Tuesday, May 19 along with a picture of his character on the original series.

He once also expressed his interest to return for the reboot project, saying, "If I can be a part of this, I would jump at the chance...None of us have been notified. We have no idea what's going on. They hinted that they might use some of the old characters to move story and plot. I think the fans or whoever was watching the show before, which was the world, really wants closure. I don't know how they would do this without using some of the main characters. I hope that they include me."

Prior to Parkman, Jack Coleman, Masi Oka and Jimmy Jean-Louis were booked to reprise their roles as Noah Bennet, Hiro Nakamura and The Haitian/Rene respectively. The new cast members include Zachary Levi, Ryan Guzman, Robbie Kay, Danika Yarosh, Judith Shekoni, Kiki Sukezane, Henry Zebrowski and Gatlin Green.

"Heroes Reborn" takes "on the ultimate struggle between those with extraordinary abilities and those with nefarious motives to hunt and harness their powers. Epic adventures await these newly empowered allies as they cross paths with some of the original characters (such as the beloved 'HRG' and fan-favorite time-traveler Hiro Nakamura), unlocking the mysterious fate of the universe and their place within it."

The 13-episode event series will air on Thursdays at 8 P.M. this fall.
