Ooooh aren’t you just excited for the season premiere of Heroes? I bet you are. I have here a season 3 promo video but the quality isn’t that good though. I also have a chock full of spoilers. So be warned! If you don’t like spoilers then move along now.

SPOILERS!

Today I come fresh from BBC Two’s Autumn launch, where us journo types were treated to a world exclusive, never-seen-before, you-will-be-castrated-if-you-secretly-record-this-and-upload-it-to-youtube preview of Heroes season three. As I value my intimate regions quite highly, I’m afraid that what follows is the best I can do. A warning: spoiler-phobes should look away now.

# Nathan Petrelli is apparently dead. We see him rushed to hospital, where resuscitation attempts fail. “There was nothing we could do,” a doctor tells the family. I don’t believe it.

# Looks like Elle (Kristen Bell) is going to be spending a bit of time sparring with Sylar this season.

# Angela Petrelli introduces us to “Level 5″, a housing place for the most dangerous criminals in the world - rapists, arsonists, killers. Presumably this is where the band of Villains escape from.

# Matt Parkman is alone in the middle of a desert screaming for help.

# New Villain ‘The Speedster’ steals something from Hiro and quips, “Gotta run.”

# Is Sylar in league with Angela Petrelli? In one short clip he is seen approaching her from behind and placing his hands on her shoulders.

# Linderman is back with a prophecy of doom. “The second coming is at hand,” he warns.

# And, perhaps the most shocking tease of all: a big bald man, incarcerated in Level 5, shouts: “I’m not who you think I am. I’m Peter Petrelli…”

The third season of Heroes will play out on BBC Two and BBC Three (and BBC HD) from the end of September, with a delay of just eight days on the original US broadcast. The season will comprise two “volumes”, each containing 13 and 12 episodes respectively.

Here are some bits and pieces of Heroes spoilers from Kristin.

Bridget in Peabody, Mass.: Any Heroes stuff? I am dying to know what happens, and I can’t wait until it comes back in the fall!
Claire is not the only character on the show who is adopted. And the next adoption twist is perhaps my favorite twist ever on this show. You know how sometimes those silly promo guys say things like “It will change everything?” Well this one actually will.

Patrick in Melbourne, Australia: I’m really desperate for some Heroes news. Any news on any characters like Monica and West?
Monica will definitely be back, as will “Nana Dawson,” aka the legendary Nichelle Nichols. However, in the first few eps, our time with them in New Orleans will be centered around their relationship with Micah. As for West (Nicholas D’Agosto), I couldn’t swear to it in a court of law, but I’m fairly sure he’s gone, at least for the time being.

This Heroes season 3 spoiler is from Kristin of E!Online.

Shannon in Omaha, Neb.: It’s been forever since we’ve heard new scoop about Heroes. Please oblige!
Gee, well, I don’t have much to tell, other than the fact that in the first three minutes one of the lead heroes is going to bust a cap off at one of the other lead heroes. And oh yeah, the guy she pulls the trigger on just might be the guy she’s playing tonsil hockey with in real life. She also tells him (on cam), “I always loved you.” Whaaa?! Figured it out? I know you have, so discuss in the comments below! Oh, and even more shocking? We’re gonna see Claire-bear with dark hair and this also involves a shift in time. So very Lostalicious, no?

Is it Claire and Peter? I’m not really up to date with who’s dating who in Hollywood, but I know that Milo and Hayden are dating. If it’s them, then that is really interesting! I mean, why would Claire shoot Peter?

This here is a season 3 preview video of Heroes. Thanks to ODI for catching the easter egg. At the 20 second mark, the shooter with the baseball hat looks a lot like Peter!

Here, watch the video for yourself.

1) Episode 3×01 and 3×02 - Run back to back on the first night.
2) Expect huge surprises and a new series regular
3) We will learn more about Angela and Kaito and their group
4) Show will play with time and space and “where people are on the planet”
5) Villians will be a key and not necessarily people we have met before, but it will be clear who they are
6) Expect a lot of Sylar
7) Expect Angela Patrelli to make some “grey area” decisions
8 ) Parkman will be “flashing someplace” and it will be one of the surprises
9) Major storyline will be the origins of the powers and the “genetic essence of the power”
10) When asked about Future Hiro returning, Arkush confirmed that there are “multiples” of the same people
11) Confirms that the chaos theory is one of things the season is about and references the Butterfly Effect from saving the World.

Here is TVGuide’s Ausiello’s latest scoop on Heroes.

Two new recurring roles are being cast, both of which are slated to debut in the Season 3 premiere. “Joy” is in her early twenties and described as “quick on her feet — and adept at getting herself into and out of trouble.” Senator Robert Malden, meanwhile, is in his fifties and a political straight shooter.

Heroes Volume 3 : Villains long awaited premiere will air on September 15, 2008. It will start with a one hour clip show followed by a two-hour event.

Adam is back! Along with 12 new characters. Read on for major spoilers.

Normally when people are buried, they stay buried. Fortunately, Takezo Kensei isn’t like most people.

When we last saw him on NBC’s “Heroes,” evil samurai Kensei — also known as Adam — was buried alive thanks to the time-traveling hero wannabe Hiro Nakamura (Masi Oka). In Season 3 though, David Anders will definitely be back.

“I believe so, yeah. I hope so. I know I’m going to be in one of the first six so … .” Anders told SyFy Portal’s Alan Stanley Blair at this weekend’s Eclipse event in the United Kingdom. “But after that, it’s called ‘Villains,’ and I am an uber-villain.”

And if Anders has his way, the return of the “misunderstood” Adam certainly won’t involve a coffin or being buried alive again because he found that one of the most difficult things he has ever done.

“It was the most frightening experience ever,” he later told fans. “I was in a three-sided satin coffin, between two pieces of glass. I had to contort my body like David Blaine.”

In the third volume of the series, the villains of the show will get a chance to show just how bad they can be. Among them are Adam, Angela Petrelli (Christine Rose), 12 new characters still to be revealed and also someone that Anders feels he would struggle to live up to: the infamous power-snatching Sylar (Zachary Quinto).

“Sylar is hard to beat. Sylar’s eyebrows alone … ,” he added with a laugh. “Adam is just misunderstood. ‘When God wasn’t happy with what he’d created he made it rain for 40 days and 40 nights. He just washed it all away.’ I love my lines.”

Adrian Pasdar who plays Nathan Petrelli confirmed that he is coming back for Volume 3.

He confirmed that Nathan and Peter (Milo Ventimiglia) will work together to save Mama Patrelli from the dark side and that he will share several scenes with Claire (Hayden Panettiere) with him developing his character more as a father.

Additionally Pasdar offered up some potential reasons on how Nathan could’ve survived the shooting at the end of Volume 2 because…

1) Bullet-Proof Vest
2) Knew the attack was coming
3) He set it up himself

Here is the latest scoop about Heroes from TVGuide’s Ausiello.

Question: I’m dying for some juicy Heroes scoop! — Stacie
Ausiello: Well, this is about as juicy as it comes: Kristen Bell is not — I repeat, not — signed on for next season. But (and this is a big “but,” so listen up) sources confirm that Heroes is in active discussions with her to return for an arc during Season 3. And considering how much everyone at the show worships her — and she them — I have every reason to believe that this will happen.

Question: I have a Heroes question: Are they going back to work on new episodes in the spring, even if they will not air until the fall? Is that how NBC is able to order more than 22 for next season? — Pat
Ausiello: Nothing gets by you, Pat. Yes, Heroes is tentatively slated to start production on Season 3 on May 1 — more than two months ahead of schedule. As a result, the show could have as many as 10-13 episodes already in the can by the time it returns in September.

Question: I’m so sad to hear that Heroes isn’t returning until the fall. Do you have any idea what we can expect for next season? — Holly
Ausiello: Let’s just say that over the next few months the show’s casting offices will be filled with actors who are very good at being very bad.
