As previously reported, the status of Kristen Bell is not 100% certain for season three. Technically the actress is yet to sign a new contract to appear on the show again.

In a recent interview with TV Guide, though, Bell didn't sound too worried about it:

"I've had an unbelievable experience thus far and they seem to like me and want to keep me onboard, so we're going to keep that ball rolling for as long as we can."

While the actress is busy shooting and promoting Forgetting Sarah Marshall over the next few months, she says that by the time she gets back "[Heroes] will be getting things together to start shooting. So I'll be free."

She also teases that Elle "is so evil and so broken, yet she actually redeems herself over the next couple of episodes."

We can't wait.

As for what will goes down in season three, here are a few more Heroes spoilers we've been hearing:

• A Japanese woman comes into Ando's (James Kyson Lee) life.
• Nikki really is dead, but is replaced by one of her alter egos.
• There's another appearance from Future Hiro (Masi Oka).
• There will also be a couple of new characters added to the New Orleans storyline. One is Officer Warren, a handsome police officer who may be a love interest for Monica (Dana Davis).
• There will also be a new character named Knox, a frightening villain recently sprung from prison.
