“Heroes,” which on Monday hit an all-time personal ratings low in key demos, will receive an order for 18-20 new episodes next season, new NBC entertainment president Angela Bromstad told The Hollywood Reporter.

The series' ratings fell precipitously during its second season and have fallen “about 30%” more since its third-season premiere, according to the Hollywood Reporter’s James Hibberd.

Nonetheless, “Heroes” still ranks as NBC’s top-rated series (roughly tied now with “The Office”).

Bryan Fuller, who wrote the series’ best season-one episodes but departed before the first season's conclusion to create and oversee ABC’s now-defunct “Pushing Daisies,” rejoined “Heroes” early this year. The first new episode on which he had some input airs Monday. The only third-season episode on which Fuller will receive “written by” credit, titled “Cold Snap,” will air March 16.

Fuller, who recently signed a two-year contract with NBC Universal, will help guide “Heroes” till the end of its 25-episode third season and intends to continue with the show into season four.

There’s now talk of NBC following the “Lost”-“Galactica” model and setting a long-term series end-date for “Heroes,” though NBC currently wants “Heroes” to continue beyond its fourth season, according to the Reporter.

Bromstad also indicated she sees NBC’s continuity-heavy sci-fi project “Day One,” about apartment dwellers who survive a mysterious worldwide cataclysm, as likely to fill the “Heroes’” Monday timeslot, presumably during “Heroes’” fourth-season hiatus.

"‘Day One’ is a big event and we're looking at that to come into the 'Heroes' spot," Bromstad told the Reporter. "It's right now being looked at as a 13-episode run -- something people could commit to and we could make a big splash with."
