The fourth season of Heroes will only be comprised of 18-20 episodes.

And that's quite alright with Adrian Pasdar!

"If things start shifting around, they can always add more at the end, but doing 25 episodes this year was nearly 11 months of work," Pasdar told TV Guide. "We love the work, but in order for the quality to be maintained, you can't just keep grinding it out.

"The pacing will be a little better - we were sometimes shooting three episodes at once, and there's no way that something doesn't slip through the cracks. It just gets crazy."

We agree. We just hope Nathan is around to see next season!
