U.S. TV bosses have silenced rumours Heroes is coming to an end - by green lighting a fourth series of the hit show.

Actor Greg Grunberg, who plays mind-reading cop Matt Parkman in the show, recently sparked reports the sci-fi series was being cancelled after three seasons.

Writing on his Twitter.com page on Sunday (01Mar09), he said, "Winding down shooting Season 3 Heroes. Tough to say goodbye to crew not knowing if any or all of us will return next year..".

However, Grunberg amended his statement minutes later after an outcry by fans, adding, "Don't get me wrong, Heroes IS coming back next year, butsome crew take other jobs, so it's tough".

And Nbc's Entertainment President Angela Bromstad has now confirmed thenetwork will renew the show next year (10), with 18 to 20 new episodes planned.

She tells The Hollywood Reporter, "Every single place you go has heard about Heroes - whether you're in China or Japan or Russia".
