In the UK, Season 3 should start within a few days of the US air dates on BBC Two, as the BBC intends to screen every episode as closely as possible to the US screening times, to help maximize audiences and to counter the attraction of illegal internet downloading. It will also screen each episode several times per week during prime time, evenings & weekends and on the BBC HD & BBC Three networks. Volume Three: Villains [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/5/53/Heroes-Villains.png/210px-Heroes-Villains.png[/img] The premiere of the third volume, "Villains", will be preceded by a one-hour clip show of the past two seasons.[12] "Villains" was originally designed to be included within the second season; however, due to the writers' strike, the volume was carried over into season three. The lead-in to "Villains" featured a scene with Sylar, which was shown as the final scene of the "Generations" finale. Throughout Volume Two, Sylar's powers were suppressed by the Shanti virus.[27] After using a cure, procured from Mohinder Suresh, he regained his abilities, delivering the first lines of Volume Three, "Villains": "I'm back." Tim Kring has claimed that the new volume will bring a cadre of villains to the show, hence the title.[28] On December 5, 2007 at the Jules Verne Film Festival Adventure, Tim Kring showed a video-preview of volume three.[29] According to an interview with Allan Arkush, filming for season three began on May 1, 2008.[30] On May 9, 2008 a season three promo clip was released with hints at possible "inner villains" within the heroes. The promo stated, "In every hero there could be a villain," before plastering the words "hero" and "villain" over the face of every major character. Finally, at the featured Heroes panel, the entire first hour of the first episode of the Villains arc was shown.[31] In July NBC began airing a teaser for season three featuring Noah Bennet talking to Claire stating, "This was before you were even born, I was finding these people and locking them away so that they couldn't hurt anybody. Now a dozen of them have escaped, and they will kill...and they will terrorize...and they will cause...unimaginable destruction to the world...they're villains, Claire," while a montage of clips play.[32] Zachary Quinto, who plays Sylar, has stated that the Villains story arc will last for thirteen episodes.[33] At the San Diego Comic Con 2008, the booth for Heroes displayed two separate looping tracks of two people in completely white rooms. One strained against his restraints, while the other paced around the room. In addition, Kring screened the first part of the season opening episode of the "Villains" arc, entitled "The Second Coming", which was shown in its entirety at Comic-Con and received a positive response from fans.[34] Several villains have already been revealed in various Heroes media, including previous seasons, webisodes, graphic novels, and the Season 3 trailers. These include Sylar, Adam Monroe, Daphne Millbrook, Echo DeMille, and a bald pyrokinetic. The last two are currently incarcerated in Level 5.
