Milo Ventimiglia not returning for ‘Heroes Reborn’
By Sam Rigby
Milo Ventimiglia has confirmed that he will not be appearing in Heroes Reborn.
The science fiction series is being revived by NBC for a 13-episode event series, after previously airing four seasons on the network between 2006 and 2010.
Ventimiglia starred as Peter Petrelli for the duration of the show’s original run, but told a fan on Twitter on Saturday (June 21) that he will not be appearing in Heroes Reborn.
Sadly no @mayersilencio, but I wish @JackColeman4RLZ and crew the best. I’ll be watching. MV

Jack Coleman – who plays Noah Bennet – is currently the only member of the original cast confirmed to return.
Earlier this year, Hayden Panettiere revealed that she had not been contacted about getting involved. Her current show Nashville has now been renewed for a third season, meaning her involvement is now even more unlikely.
Heroes Reborn will air on NBC in 2015.
