Shekoni's isn't the only new face fans will see when the Heroes reboot airs. She joins the previously cast Zachary Levi (Chuck), Robbie Kay (Once Upon a Time) and Danika Yarosh (Shameless), all playing mysterious new roles.

Original series star Jack Coleman is the only Heroes star set to reprise his role in the relaunch of the NBC series.

The series comes from executive producers Tim Kring, James Middleton and Peter Elkoff, and "chronicles the lives of ordinary people who discover that they possess extraordinary abilities." It will run for 13 episodes and will feature a brand-new story and set of characters.

Heroes Reborn is set to premiere sometime in 2015 on NBC. However, prior to that premiere, fans will be able to tune into Heroes Reborn: Digital Series on Hulu and NBC's various digital platforms.

(E! and NBC are both part of the NBCUniversal family.)
