As you know, Heroes Season 3 (Villains) is beginning on September 22nd on NBC in the USA. Well, it's just been confirmed by the BBC that season 3 of Heroes will begin on BBC 2 and BBC HD on September 25th, with just a 3 day gap between the episode airing stateside. This is obviously a slight improvement on the current 6 month broadcast gap that happened to seasons 1 and 2 and may also discourage illegal downloading of the episodes. Heroes is just closing the season 2 story-arc on BBC 2 and BBC HD and season 3 looks to be considerable longer than the mini 11 week stint of season 2, of course caused by the US Writers' Strike. Expect season 3 to comprise 24 episodes all 40 minutes in length (with 2 hour premieres and finales).
UPDATE 14/09/08 - More information since originally posted - It looks like the date is still TBA but it is going to be simulcast, so it shouldn't be longer than a weekly delay. Additionally, there appear to be only 13 or so episodes this time around.
UPDATE 2 18/09/08 - Start date announced - 9pm on BBC 2 and BBC HD on October 1
