Heroes has packed its bags for Canada.

Series creator Tim Kring was asked yesterday when the plot of Heroes is going to take one of the characters to Canada, as Kring himself promised through a video message at a public Heroes event in Toronto late last summer.

"As for Canada, the show takes that turn in, I think, two episodes," Kring said. "Two episodes (from now), episode six. Five (and) six."

Thus far, four episodes have run in the second season of Heroes, which airs Mondays on Global and NBC.

Kristen Bell, formerly of Veronica Mars, joins the Heroes cast next Monday. Kring was asked about the worries of over-population on the already crowded series.

"On a show like this, you have to be able to fold people in and fold people out," Kring said. "So the audience should fully expect to see characters leaving in the near future."
