NBC picked up the Batman-esque-sounding The Cape, along with three other series to round out its scripted series orders, and Chuck was officially renewed for a fourth season, the network announced today in a statement. The other series included the dramas Outlaw and Harry's Law and the comedy Friends With Benefits. Meanwhile, news has broken that NBC has canceled the ailing superhero drama Heroes after four seasons, according to The Hollywood Reporter's Live Feed blog. The news is hardly a surprise: The show has been limping along in the ratings for several seasons. After ending its fourth season to terrible ratings, speculation had been going on for months as to whether Heroes would get a shot at one final season, or perhaps even a two-hour movie, to finish up its story.
