Pushing Daisies' loss is officially Heroes' gain.

As previously rumored, Bryan Fuller - the creator of the former show mentioned above, and one of the brilliant original writers on the latter - has signed a deal to return to Heroes now that Daisies has been canceled.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Fuller will be given more story control on Heroes this season, as well as on an upcoming fourth season; which, despite current poor ratings and negative critical reviews, is supposedly nearly a guarantee to be happen.

Fuller's contract is said to be for at least $1 million. But if it means he writes more episodes like Company Man, no figure could be high enough.
