NBC has given a full season order to breakout hit Heroes.

Nine more episodes of the supernatural saga have been ordered, bringing the total for the season to a full 22.

"Heroes has delivered exceptional ratings since it's premiere and we're even more impressed with the quality of the upcoming episodes," said NBC entertainment president Kevin Reilly. "We have complete confidence in creator-executive producer Tim Kring. The best is yet to come over the course of a full season with this newest drama sensation."

The show is one of the highest-rated new series in America's new TV season and has consistently won its Monday 9pm-10pm timeslot in the adults 18-49 demographic.
