Whakakihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I te Mei 14, 2007, i kii a NBC ka rere he ono-waahanga "Heroes" spin-off i huaina ko "Heroes: Origins" i te waa 2007<unk>08. I whakauruhia te whakaaturanga ki tetahi ahuatanga hou ia wiki, a ko nga kaimatakitaki me whiriwhiri ko wai ka noho mo te waa e whai ake nei o te raupapa auau. I whakaarohia te whakaaturanga i muri i te otinga o te waa tuarua o "Heroes" i te Paenga-whāwhā 2008; Heoi, i te Oketopa 31, 2007, i ripoatahia kua whakaroa te "Origins" na te mea ko te "Heroes" te mea nui rawa atu.
Ka mutu te mahi a te Rōpū Kaituhi o Amerika. I kii a Kring i roto i tetahi uiui ko te waahanga tuatahi o "Origins" hei whakaatu i nga mea ngaro me nga tikanga kei muri o te tohu Helix. Heoi, na te WGA Strike, i kii a Kring me whakaatu te muna i raro i te raina. I whakakitea e Kring ko ia hei tuhi i te waahanga tuatahi o "Origins", a kua utua a John August ki te tuhi i tetahi atu waahanga. Ko te Kaiwhakahaere a Kevin Smith, he kaiwhaiwhai o "Heroes", i whakaritea ki te tuhi me te whakahaere i tetahi waahanga mo te waahanga, pera ano me Eli Roth me Michael Dougherty. I te Paenga-whawha 3, 2008, i te ra i muri mai i te panui a NBC i tana raupapa 2008<unk>2009 primetime, i whakapumautia e Ben Silverman te whakakore i te "Origins".
