As anticipated, Bryan Fuller is heading back to Heroes as part of a two-year deal with Universal Media Studios. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Fuller would return to Heroes’ writers room in time for episode 20.

Fuller had been a strong creative contributor until ABC purchased his whimsical Pushing Daisies. Despite strong reviews, the ratings have never been strong and the series will complete its network run in December after 13 second season installments.

One gem that seemed to slip through the cracks you can now catch on DVD, in the ABC Studios and The CW’s [[[Reaper]]].

Bryan Fuller has been making it clear he wants a crack at the 23rd Century. In several recent interviews, promoting his ABC series Pushing Daisies, he’s also expressed his desire to make a new Star Trek television series.
Bryan Fuller knows well how regarded his quirky Wonderfalls series was. The short-lived drama failed on Fox but he hasn’t forgotten his characters and told 
Any fan of the ABC series Pushing Daisies is probably aware that creator Bryan Fuller was also the creative mind behind both critically acclaimed, yet short-lived series Wonderfalls and Dead Like Me, but it is not as well known that Fuller is also a full-on Star Trek fan, and in fact has even written 21 episodes for the lore: 2 for Deep Space Nine and 19 for Voyager. Fuller recently sounded off on J.J. Abrams’ new Trek film and his interest on taking the helm for a modern interpretation of the 1960’s hit.
