NBC has, yes, picked up
Heroes for a third season. (No shocker there.) But the network has also ordered second, 13-episode seasons of both
Chuck and
Life, says the
Reporter.
Heroes, meanwhile, will air
more than 22 episodes (the exact number is TBD) when it returns. None of the three shows will air new fare this spring.
