Larter, who played Niki Sanders and her alter ego Jessica in Heroes (in addition to another character Tracy Strauss), has revealed to TVGuide.com that she is not returning for Heroes Reborn.
"No," Larter said when asked if she would return. "At this point, I think I've heard that Jack [Coleman] is coming back, but I'm committed to [TNT's] Legends. I'm on series, so I don't have the time to work on another project. Not that I didn't love Heroes and loved working on it, but I'm just at a different stage of my life. I'm super excited and proud to be a part of this show and working with Sean Bean and an incredible cast."

However, Christopher Eccleston, who played Peter Petrelli's mentor Claude Rains in the series, has expressed interest in returning.
Heroes Reborn is scheduled to air on NBC in 2015, though the network has not yet announced a specific premiere date. It will air as a 13-episode standalone miniseries.
