Fuller returns to 'Heroes' staff

Bryan Fuller will rejoin the Heroes writing staff following the cancellation of his show Pushing Daisies.

Fuller, who scripted the much-praised season one episode 'Company Man', is finalising a lucrative two-year deal with Universal Media Studios (UMS) which will see him return to write the NBC drama starting from this season's episode 20.

Heroes recorded its lowest-ever ratings this season, resulting in the dismissal of co-executive producers Jesse Alexander and Jeph Loeb.

Fuller is currently finishing work on Pushing Daisies for ABC, which was axed last month.
